Real-time insight. Businesses of every kind gain a competitive edge from it, but more important, their very survival depends on it. I’m not just talking about insight from standardized reports, spreadsheets, and any old data. On the contrary, true business insight is obtained from data that you can use the very second it’s created across the entire enterprise and business network. But to run a truly real-time business, businesses must go a step further.
It seems as though everyone is using mobile, analytics, and social media technologies to make decisions and execute transactions at a moment’s notice. And when all of this rich, real-time data is accessible at the exact moment and place it’s needed, we see the full power of real-time business insight.
In-memory computing: The engine that runs real-time insight
There’s no question that this technology is transformational. However, for many companies, the question remains: What’s the best way to deploy this breakthrough in-memory technology? Some choose to bring it in-house. Others decide to go directly to the cloud for the pilot and later move it on-premise after the business case is established. And there are companies who use a hybrid approach to manage the mission-critical production environment on-premise while maintaining test and development systems in the cloud.
Whatever the approach, the goal is the same: To provide flexible options that accelerate time to insight while meeting all business needs. Real-time business is about speed and getting there should be fast. This is where the SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud service can help.
Here’s a snapshot of two recent clients who decided to use the service to run their businesses better, serve customers more effectively, and drive competitive advantage well into the future. Maybe their stories can help you do the same.
