Real Time Enterprise: The Challenge

The global economy today has undergone a fundamental change – a change where the real-time flow of critical information across the business is paramount to success. One big reason is the effect of inexpensive, powerful telecommunications – everything from the Web and e-mail to mobile phones and satellite TV. This technology has shrunk global markets and accelerated the forces of accessibility, transparency and availability. Organisations are now faced with competitive threats and opportunities at breakneck speed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Today's business leaders not only need to predict the future shape of the their markets but they need an enterprise agile enough to cope with the sudden onset of unforeseeable business changes as well as unexpected opportunities.

However the reality is that the management information available to guide many business leaders is too often dangerously outdated by the time it reaches them. This acts as a filter, blurring the commercial reality and leading to those nasty surprise warnings that board members and investors dislike. The result is that executives are unable to drive the organisation fast enough to meet the real-time demands of sudden market changes.
