Just Released: "Introducing streamed information processing into mainstream IT"

Fast Market Research recommends "Introducing streamed information processing into mainstream IT" from Ovum, now available
 
Dec. 21, 2010 - PRLog -- The aim of processing streamed information is to enable the organization to respond by tuning its processes, policies, and rules to suit the changed environment, either overall or on a case-by-case basis. The technology required is notably different from current mainstream IT, yet it has to be able to influence the way in which regular business transactions are conducted.

Features and benefits
Understand the potential of streamed information and the types of business scenarios that could benefit from its exploitation.
Understand the technology requirements for realtime streamed processing, and how this differs from the current mainstream IT architecture.
Understand why complex event processing (CEP) is just the one of the requirements in a holistic view of streamed information processing.
Understand how vendors are approaching the evolving market, and what it will mean for the vendor ecosystem.
Highlights
The exploitation of streamed data is already mainstream in some financial services sectors and is now becoming cost-effective in other industries. The technology required differs from traditional transaction-oriented IT and will pose skills and integration challenges, but increasingly the competitive landscape makes evaluation highly recommended.

Your key questions answered
What types of business scenario could benefit from the availability of streamed information processing?
How do the technology requirements of streamed processing differ from traditional transaction-oriented IT?
How can streamed processing technology be integrated into established transaction-based IT environments?
