Business Event Notification Service (BENS)

Published by Department of Veterans Affairs | Department of Veterans Affairs | Metadata Last Checked: August 08, 2025 | Last Modified: 2020-05-15
BENS provides a notification of pre-defined business events to applications, portals, and automated business processes. Such events are defined in the Event Catalog, with examples including change in military service duty status, change of address, etc. Business events are defined and governed by the business, are used to drive business process, and exist independently of implementation considerations. The business event management service supports publication of business events by authorized publishers through the Event Notification governance process. The service supports subscription to business events by authorized subscribers, also supported by the governance process. The service supports automatic, reliable, and timely notification of published business events to subscribers. The service supports creation and modification of business event definitions. The service supports governance of changes to business event definitions, and authorization of publishers and subscribers. BENS is separate from data synchronization, though the interrelationships have been identified to ensure the elimination of redundancy and race conditions.
