The Need for Stream Processing and Real-Time Action – RTInsights

Most IT and business professionals understand the value of real-time data. And we all know that data is most
valuable right after it is created, so taking advantage of fresh data in an immediate time window is a critical practice.

However, many IT architectures today are focused on getting that real-time data into a database first, instead of getting analytical value as soon as possible. This is where stream processing technologies can help. These technologies enable the notion of “real-time action” so you can respond to fresh data now, when it offers the most opportunity.

This white paper written by RTInsights describes the types of business outcomes you can get by leveraging stream processing technologies on your recently created data to deliver real-time action. It concludes with a list of factors you should consider when selecting a stream processing platform.
