Beyond Batch: From enterprise files to business events - Building a Digital Event Backbone with WSO2 and Solace

What if every CSV, XML, HL7 or EDI file your organisation produces already contains the business events needed to power AI, automation and real-time decision making?

Your organisation already generates the business events needed for real-time operations and AI. The problem is that most of them remain hidden inside files, legacy systems and batch processes.

This whitepaper introduces a different way of thinking about enterprise integration. Rather than replacing existing systems, it explains how organisations can reveal, govern and publish the business events they already produce, creating a Digital Event Backbone that connects applications, analytics, automation and AI through a shared operational language.

Inside you'll discover:

• Why Batch Thinking continues to limit enterprise agility
• How every operational file can become a source of reusable business events
• The principles behind Business Event Extraction
• Why APIs and event-driven architecture work better together
• How to build a governed Digital Event Backbone
• How WSO2 and Solace complement each other to govern, distribute and operationalise business events at enterprise scale
• A practical roadmap for modernising legacy integration without replacing existing systems

Whether you're an Enterprise Architect, Integration Lead or Technology Leader, this guide provides a practical framework for evolving from batch-oriented integration towards an event-native enterprise.
