Like it or not, the pace of business is accelerating and competitors are finding ways to expand their positions in your market.  One key technique to establish competitive advantage is to decrease the time between data availability and actions taken based on that information.  To accomplish this goal, many organizations are turning to low-latency operational and analytical processing.

By reducing the latency in operational and analytical processing, organizations can move from a traditional information strategy that often looked backward at the events that happened to a more proactive approach that allows organizations to capitalize on events as they occur and even predict what may happen next. This change to a more proactive operational mindset can improve their businesses by increasing their revenues, lowering their costs or improving their overall margins.
