A Data Enhancement Engine uses a novel object-oriented architecture to provide real-time data enhancement on event records. The architecture is highly scalable so that new data enhancement processes are added quickly and easily, allowing client system requirements to be met in minimal time. In the preferred embodiment, the Data Enhancement Engine is employed in a Network Information Concentrator for a telecommunications network. It receives a real-time feed of event records from a network information distributor process and activates specific enhancement processes based on filtering criteria. These enhancement processes are realized with derivable object classes. They will retrieve appropriate data from an object database and enhance the record with that data. The Data Enhancement Engine will then format the enhanced record according to a specific client's requirements, and send the record to the client. There is a distinct record receiving and filtering process defined for each client system. There are also distinct enhancement processes defined for each type of record enhancement that a client requires. If new enhancement types are required, then new enhancement processes may be created by simply deriving from a base class a new set of classes. This new set of classes may then be defined with the specific methods needed for the enhancement types they support.
