The survey answers the what, how, and why behind real-time initiatives in today’s leading organizations. Key findings include:

  • Enterprises define real time as having second or sub-second response times
  • Businesses pursue real-time initiatives for two main reasons: to deliver real-time dashboards and to improve customer experience
  • Over two thirds of the companies surveyed are planning and building real-time analytics applications

In addition, 75% of companies surveyed describe real-time initiatives as important, very important, or critical to their organization.
