  text: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to show how to employ complex event
    processing (CEP) for the observation and management of business processes. It
    proposes a conceptual architecture of BPM event producer, processor, and consumer
    and describes technical implications for the application with standard software
    in a perfect order scenario. Design/methodology/approach – The authors discuss
    business process analytics as the technological background. The capabilities of
    CEP in a BPM context are outlined an architecture design is proposed. A sophisticated
    proof-of-concept demonstrates its applicability. Findings – The results overcome
    the separation and data latency issues of process controlling, monitoring, and
    simulation. Distinct analyses of past, present, and future blur into a holistic
    real-time approach. The authors highlight the necessity for configurable event
    producer in BPM engines, process event support in CEP engines, a common process
    event format, connectors to visualizers, notifiers and return channels to the
    BPM engine. Research limitations/implications – Further research will thoroughly
    evaluate the approach in a variety of business settings. New concepts and standards
    for the architecture's building blocks will be needed to improve maintainability
    and operability. Practical implications – Managers learn how CEP can yield insights
    into business processes' operations. The paper illustrates a path to overcome
    inflexibility, latency, and missing feedback mechanisms of current process modeling
    and control solutions. Software vendors might be interested in the conceptualization
    and the described needs for further development. Originality/value – So far, there
    is no commercial CEP-based BPM solution which facilitates a round trip from insight
    to action as outlines. As major software vendors have begun developing solutions
    (BPM/BPA solutions), this paper will stimulate a debate between research and practice
    on suitable design and technology.
