Market Drivers
Driven by ongoing digitalization, the amount of data created by business transactions within enterprises
is rising rapidly. Most of this data is only used in the context of the initial business interaction and further
analytics or evaluations are only executed time-shifted when the interactions of their origin are already
completed. When different streams of data can only be combined in such time-shifted way it is not possible
to react on insights in real-time. This “data at rest” has a huge unutilized potential for digital business
scenarios.
An event-centric approach for data processing can help to get this data in motion and to accelerate digital
business models. Processing the streams of events in real-time enables innovation and supports enterprises
to stay ahead of their competition by increasing revenue, saving costs and mitigating risks.
Market Drivers

5. Business and Data in motion | A BearingPoint Accelerator
Data in Motion with event-centric data processing
In traditional IT architectures the focus is on data itself. Data produced by any system is stored for transactional purposes only and gets off-loaded for time-shifted
analytics. This limits the possibility of connecting different data sources and types in real-time. With an event-centric approach the business event itself gets moved
into focus. Not only the transactional data, also the circumstance which produced it, gets recorded and processed. This approach enables enterprises to gain real-time
insights from their business moments and react on them accordingly and timeously.

6. Business and Data in motion | A BearingPoint Accelerator
Get in touch and understand event streams
Identify areas of interest for event-centric data
processing and choose one simple scenario and
implement an MVP (minimal viable product) for it.
Establish event streams in key parts of your
enterprise to get your data in motion
Select and implement a central event streaming
platform and begin the journey of data in motion
by adding event streams from different areas to it
and start with simple event-centric data processing
scenarios like real-time process visualization or
real-time decision support to gain business value.
Harvest the benefits of event streaming by
using the full potential of your
event streaming platform
Establish event streaming in all areas of your
enterprise and start to leverage the full potential
of your event streams by investigating and
implementing more complex scenarios like stream
analytics, business moments or real-time situation
awareness during a customer interaction.
At this level the event streams act as the
backbone of your enterprise data flow involving
all departments and processes.
Entry Level: Set up a small MVP
to identify and implement one
simple scenario
Intermediate Level: Establish event-centric
data processing in more areas and introduce
a central event streaming platform
Master Class: Leverage the full power of
event-streams by combining them
through more complex analyticsValue
Investment & Time
To get your data in motion by thinking in continuous event streams instead of transactional and
analytical processes can be a tough challenge for traditional enterprises. BearingPoint’s approach
helps to ease this challenge by climbing up the maturity levels in an agile and iterative way. This
approach enables a low-risk transition towards an event-centric data processing combined with
continuous value generation.

7. Business and Data in motion | A BearingPoint Accelerator
Our LUCIE Approach is designed to help enterprises to accomplish the Entry Level as easy as possible.
The approach can also be applied in an iterative process to pave the way to the Intermediate Level and
even to Master Class.
Listen & Understand
• Listen to the client carefully and distill the right areas
to get started with event streaming
• Identify and define suitable simple event streaming
scenarios within the selected areas
• Build a common understanding of the right problem
which should be enhanced using event centric data
processing
• Choose and refine a simple scenario which should get
implemented using an MVP (minimal viable product)
approach
• Create outcome variants for the selected scenario using
event-centric data processing:
• Define which event streams are necessary, how the
ingestions can work and how they must be set-up
• Determine how the event processing must be done to
fulfill the needs of the selected scenario
• Develop the detailed business logic which must be applied
on the events using event streaming frameworks (OSS or
licensed) depending on clients’ requirements
• Decide which variant is most appropriate for the given scenario
and its surroundings
• Implement an MVP for the selected scenario using agile
development and a cloud-based event streaming platform
Create & Implement
• Integrate the developed MVP with the
identified event streams
• Challenge the MVP if the defined scenario
and the outcome meet the expectations and
evaluate the gained benefits and business values
• Define next steps like iterative optimization
or implementation of more scenarios

The needs of your digital business emerge from 3 strategic drivers. Either it creates more value
by creating new business models, reduces risk by protecting your money or simply saves cost by
increasing your operational efficiency. Moving towards an event-centric IT architecture can help
enterprises fulfill their digital business needs.
Fulfill the needs of digital business by event-centric data processing …
… supports three main strategic drivers:
Digital Business Moments
React to unexpected or
planned business events as
they happen
Improve customer
experience and leverage the
potential of cross-sales
by creating new real-time
customer interactions
Reduce interaction and
throughput time in manual
process steps as well as

runtimes by automate
decision making with in-
time detection and handling
of issues
Reduce costs or improve
customer experience by
detecting complex patterns
in your event data and react
at once
Use event-centric step-by-
step approach to reduce
costs running your
mainframe based legacy
system
Process Visualization

Digital Skipper
Assistant (DSA)
Research project for the German
Ministry for Traffic and Digital
Infrastructure
„We create the shipping of
tomorrow. Digitalization
helps to make shipping
more efficient and
ecofriendly. The Digital
Skipper Assistant is the
best example for this.“
Andreas Scheuer, German Minister for
Traffic and Digital Infrastructure
Higher reliability through digitization
DSA provides a web application featuring waterway maps, points of interest,
routing functionality, ETA calculation, display of current water level predictions
and increase the reliability of route planning.
Research report for decision making
The insights from development and field test were used to create a concluding
research report for the ministry.
Digitization Roadmap for inland shipping
Due to the piloting a future development roadmap was developed which
includes a plan to make inland shipping more efficient through digitalization.
Development of a web application
A Digital Skipper Assistant (DSA) should be developed as a web application with
the goal to ease the everyday work of skippers.
Agile development of the DSA
The DSA was developed in agile 2-week sprints. Empirical knowledge and feedback
were incorporated directly in an agile manner.
Field Test
The DSA was tested in a field test with ~50 skippers. The application was
continuously maintained and enhanced during the field test.
Make inland shipping a more reliable transport mode
Compared to other transport modes inland shipping is not a growing market.
This is due to the poor reliability of forecasts and ETA. But the increasing
transport demand in Europe makes it is necessary to improve the efficiency of
all transport modes.
Effects of Technology and Digitization
Measuring how the introduction of technology and digitization can affect the
efficiency of inland shipping and have influence on other stakeholders.
The German inland shipping is intended to become more efficient through
digitalization measures. The Digital Skipper Assistant (DSA) eases the
everyday work of skippers and paves the way to the digital future.
