match2blue Selects Progress Apama Business Event Processing Offering to Enable Social Networking Platform

Progress Software, a software provider that enables enterprises to be operationally responsive, has announced that match2blue, an enterprise platform enabler for mobile solutions, has selected the Progress Apama Business Event Processing (BEP) platform to enable its social networking platform with real-time information on location, ideas, news and trends.

According to Progress, the Apama BEP platform will form a part of match2blue's back-end infrastructure, providing the performance and scalability, as well as enabling its business partners, who will be operating the location-based services to control and monitor their operations through dashboards.

One example of an application is match2blue's enterprise grade social solution that mobilizes members of frequent flyer programs globally. Members will be able to connect, exchange ideas, share taxis and engage in real time via a new mobile application.

In another example, New York club goers can use match2blue's Webster Hall application for finding and meeting like-minded people. Clubs and communities can also push information on scale to the New York party scene via the iPhone application to ensure that new venues or events are filled to capacity.

The Apama platform is used by companies like 3 Italia (the Italian 3G service provider) for real-time visibility into service and billing processes, Royal Dirkzwager (a Dutch Maritime Information and Service provider), for monitoring and analysis of real-time shipping information, and Boekhandels Groep Nederland - BGN - who introduced the world's first item-level RFID implementation).
