Allowing for immediate triggering of business data processing

based on a number of customer-driven events.

Does NOT require the overhead and excessive churning or

scanning an enormous database of workload in the active file,

which may NEVER happen

Accelerates the delivery of new business functionality by

eliminating the need for excessive scripting and methods for

constantly polling to see if/when business data happens.
