Book description
Having more, and more current, information is fast becoming a
requirement for business survival. The need permeates the
enterprise because it enables proactive decision-making for problem
avoidance, rather than reactive problem impact minimization. And
that is the key. Thus the need for, and focus on, is
real-time.
Companies no longer have the long strategic time-frames in which to
plan, design, and manage their business processes. Yearly revenue
goals and measurements are fast becoming quarterly goals and
measurements. Investors and share-holders are more demanding. They
are more critical, and less forgiving, of missed performance goals.
And these demands are coming at a time when the volume of data is
growing, there is an increase in business mergers and acquisitions,
the use of strategic outsourcing is growing, and there is an
increasing requirement for faster and faster turnaround on
information requests. This has put an enormous burden on the
information technology (IT) organizations. And most of this change
is centered around business intelligence, because that is the
environment responsible for providing information for management
decision-making.
This IBM Redbooks publication explores the techniques and
capabilities for evolving to a real-time enterprise. It also
demonstrates approaches for that evolution and provides examples to
help guide you in developing your strategy and implementation
methodology to become a real-time enterprise.
