It comes as no surprise to find two CEP vendors merging. I blogged a while ago that the space is to small for so many vendors. Will we see a merge of CCL and Spash? The sooner the two companies merge their CEP engines the better, as supporting two will cost Aleri from a development perspective, plus is leads to customer confusion. It’s going to be interesting to see how quickly Aleri manage this problem, and how quickly they resolve it.
