Zero latency enterprise enriched publish/subscribe

A system for providing enriched publish and subscribe in an enterprise running as a zero latency enterprise (ZLE), the enterprise experiencing a plurality of events occurring in association with business transactions conducted at a plurality of sites across the enterprise, the system comprising:

• means for initiating, in real time, a process responsive to an event, the means for initiating the process including
• means for publishing to a central repository one or more messages prompted by that event containing information from that event, respective information from the plurality of events being aggregated in the central repository where the aggregated information can, in real-time, be accessible and available for extraction and analysis from across the enterprise,
• means for updating the aggregated information with information from the published messages,
• means for enriching new messages with information from that event and/or corresponding information extracted from the central repository, and
• means for subscribing to the enriched new messages.

A computer readable medium embodying computer program code configured to cause a computer to perform steps for providing enriched publish and subscribe in an enterprise running as a zero latency enterprise (ZLE), the enterprise experiencing a plurality of events occurring in association with business transactions conducted at a plurality of sites across the enterprise, the steps comprising:

• initiating, in real time, a process responsive to an event, the process including the steps of

A system for enriched publish and subscribe operations associated with business transactions conducted by an enterprise running as a zero latency enterprise (ZLE), the system being implemented in a ZLE framework and comprising:

• one or more applications via which the business transactions are conducted;
• and
• an operational data store (ODS), the ODS being operatively communicative with the one or more applications such that the applications are capable to publish messages to and subscribe to messages from the ODS, the ODS being configured
• to operate as a dynamic central repository that consolidates information from across the enterprise and supports business transactional access to real time information from any of the one or more applications,
• to know what particular information any one of the applications needs in order to accomplish its task, the particular information enriching messages to which the applications subscribe, and
• to update the consolidated information with information from messages published by the applications.
