How can we use data to expect and forecast revenue, and what are the key factors influencing it? What are the key performance indicators (KPIs) that we should be tracking to measure the efficiency of our process? How can we use data to identify patterns and trends that inform our business decisions? How can we use data to identify opportunities for process improvement? How can we ensure that our data is accurate, complete, and reliable? How can we use data to create a competitive advantage? How can we use data to improve customer satisfaction and retention? An event model is a method of tracking and recording information related to critical business operations. One of the key benefits of an event model is that it enables advanced analytics such as correlation/causality analysis. Correlation/causality analysis allows organizations to identify relationships between events and operations. This information can be used to improve the product or the business process.

The business value of data lies in its ability to increase operational efficiency for organizations. Data can also be used to expect and forecast revenue, allowing for more informed business decisions.

Predictive analysis is another advanced analytics capability that an event model can enable. Predictive analysis allows organizations to use historical data to predict future events. For example, an event model can state when a specific product will run out of stock based on historical sales data. This information can be used to optimize the supply chain and ensure that products are available when customers need them.

Domain events represent the state in time of a business process. Publishing *domain events* out of a bounded context is the most robust approach to integration between sub-domains. Customer interactions determine at a higher level what is essential to the business. Events are defined based on customer-facing interactions. The event represents an agreement of something after a particular action is executed. In the same way, internal to the application, the contract is enforced across different sub-domains. Other sub-domains react to events, and that’s how collaboration happens.

A domain event is anything that happens that is of interest to a domain expert. Domain events capture those facts in a way that doesn’t specify a particular implementation. They must learn, define, refine, and use it only in conversations about the model. Domain events are thus a more stable and resilient scaffolding for your model.

Using Event Modeling, the team can focus on the core functionality, making the system more efficient and cost-effective. Tracking relevant business processes in a sequence of events is essential. Event Modeling aims to reduce this problem by focusing on the critical parts of the design, making it smaller and more manageable.
