This document discusses how businesses can use an event mesh to become more event-driven and real-time. An event mesh is a distributed network of event brokers that provides connectivity and routing for critical business events across computing environments. It allows events from sources like SAP systems to be streamed in real-time to applications throughout an organization. The document provides examples of how an event mesh can be used to enable real-time capabilities for SAP applications and systems. It also describes how an event management platform can provide tools for governing, discovering, and monitoring events that flow through the event mesh.
