DESCRIPTION
In today’s competitive and highly dynamic environment, analyzing data to
understand how the business is performing, to predict outcomes and trends,
and to improve the effectiveness of business processes underlying business
operations has become critical. The traditional appraoch to reporting is
not longer adequate, users now demand easy-to-use intelligent platforms
and applications capable of analyzing real-time business data to provide
insight and actionable information at the right time. The end goal is to
improve the enterprise performance by better and timelier decision making,
enabled by the availability of up-to-date, high quality information.
As a response, the notion of "real-time enterprise" has emerged and is
beginning to be recognized in the industry. Gartner defines it as “using
up-to-date information, getting rid of delays, and using speed for
competitive advantage is what the real-time enterprise is all about...
Indeed, the goal of the real-time enterprise is to act on events as they
happen”
Although there has been progress in this direction and many companies are
introducing products towards making this vision reality, there is still a
long way to go. In particular, the whole lifecycle of business
intelligence requires new techniques and methodologies capable of dealing
with the new requirements imposed by the real-time enterprise. From the
capturing of real-time business performance data to the injection of
actionable information back into business processes, all the stages of the
Business Intelligence (BI) cycle call for new algorithms and paradigms as
the basis of new functionalities including dynamic integration of
real-time data feeds from operational sources, evolution of ETL
transformations and analytical models, and dynamic generation of adaptive
real-time dashboards, just to name a few.
