Coca-Cola Refreshments owns and manages Coca-Cola branded refrigerators in retail establishments. Legacy systems were used to locate equipment information by logging onto multiple servers which took up to 8 hours to update information on 30-40 units. The company had no overall visibility into equipment status or maintenance history.

Manufacturers rightly focus on improving profit margins and growing revenue. Attracting new customers, selling more products and lean practices can help. However, as equipment sophistication increases, so does the ability to monitor equipment. Manufacturers can now develop revenue from maintenance services. Preventive maintenance has its advantages but to really drive uptime and maintain service levels, predictive maintenance is needed. Seamless IoT and machine sensor data integration is critical as well as a low-latency messaging backbone for scalable, fast and reliable transport. Delivering potentially large quantities of data at sub-second speeds is key to downstream activities. webMethods Integration, featuring Universal Messaging, addresses this need with an enterprise-grade service bus for connectivity, messaging, transformation and security of machine data for advanced real-time analytics.

AEMO needed to modernize of the Gas FRC Hub a B2B platform for the gas retail markets throughout Australia and provide a reliable B2B platform that could scale to support the adoption of B2B procedures in New South Wales (NSW).

Software AG's webMethods Integration Platform is a proven, pre-integrated software suite featuring the market-leading Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) that enables enterprises to rapidly integrate systems, services, devices, processes and business partners.

Imagine how responsive your enterprise could be if you could glean real-time insights from all that big fast data—data streaming in from global markets, mobile devices, the Internet of Things (IoT), internal transactional systems and a myriad of other sources. You can be that event-driven enterprise by using Apama. Software AG's Apama Streaming Analytics—supporting predictive analytics—is the world’s #1 platform for streaming analytics and intelligent automated action on fast-moving big data. With Apama, you can analyze and act on high-volume business operations in real time.Apama Streaming Analytics is built on an in-memory architecture that enables real-time processing of extremely fast, large data volumes—orders of magnitude larger than traditional database-based IT architectures. Data science teams build predictive models in whatever data mining tools they prefer to use, then use Predictive Analytics for Apama to load the models in the PMML format. This step takes a fraction of the time that model deployment ordinarily requires, and eliminates the need for manual coding, cross-checking and error correction. Apama allows for ingesting these models rapidly, making them instantly organic to the business process that they support, as defined by various Apama applications.Apama then probes incoming event data from any device, social media stream or business system with extremely low latency against the imported predictive models for real-time scoring. Predictive Analytics for Apama analyzes this streaming data, which can also be enriched with historic and contextual data-at-rest where necessary, to identify business patterns that have happened or are likely to happen. The platform’s visualizations and visual analytics for business users support both human-oriented and automated intelligent actions, alerts and notifications.

TrendMiner software is based on a high-performance analytics engine for data captured in time series. With TrendMiner, process engineers and operators can easily search for trends and question their process data directly – without help from a data scientist.

Object Management Group (OMG) is international, open membership, not-for-profit technology standards consortium. OMG standards are driven by vendors, end-users, academic institutions and government agencies. OMG Task Forces develop enterprise integration standards for a wide range of technologies and an even wider range of industries. OMG’s modeling standards, including the Unified Modeling Language? (UML?) and Model Driven Architecture? (MDA?), enable powerful visual design, execution and maintenance of software and other processes. OMG also hosts organizations such as the user-driven information-sharing Cloud Standards Customer Council? (CSCC?) and the IT industry software quality standardization group, the Consortium for IT Software Quality? (CISQ?). OMG also manages the Industrial Internet Consortium, the public-private partnership that was formed in 2014 with AT&T, Cisco, GE, IBM, and Intel to forward the development, adoption, and innovation of the Industrial IoT.Our members include hundreds of organizations including software end-users in over two dozen vertical markets (from finance to healthcare and automotive to insurance) and virtually every large organization in the technology industry. OMG’s one organization- one vote policy ensures that every member organization- whether large or small- has an effective voice in our voting process. At OMG, specification adoption is the starting point rather than the end of the process. Our “No Shelf-ware” policy bars all proposed specifications that do not have an implementation plan from being adopted by OMG. This guarantees that all OMG specifications are immediately useable. Furthermore, we do not just focus on the specification itself - we focus on the whole product: with corresponding seminars, workshops, certification, books and more! OMG hosts four technical meetings throughout the year. These meetings give OMG members and interested nonmembers the opportunity to collaborate in a centralized location, learn about technology standards products and processes at tutorials, and attend special information day events on current trending hot topics. While technical meetings provide a centralized location for Task Forces and Working Groups to work together, they are merely checkpoints with the bulk of the work between members taking place electronically via email, teleconferences, and on wikis.In addition to technical meetings, OMG acts as event producer for conferences and workshops for its members around the world, including the Internationalization & Unicode Conference.OMG maintains liaison relationships with dozens of other organizations including ISO (which publishes many OMG standards without edits), Health Level Seven (HL7), and the Data Transparency Coalition.
