Building a digital tomorrow today: an SAP journey.
It’s difficult to imagine how businesses operated decades ago — before CRM, before ecommerce, before Facebook and social media.
Computing power was limited, and architecture called for separate systems to move data. IT had to report on and plan for each system. To maximize performance, central IT hubs ran discrete systems concurrently. That was just the way things were.
Flash forward to today: Enterprise-level platforms have significantly evolved. They’re powerful. And their potential is seemingly limitless. Direct in-memory queries provide numerous options for real-time transactions. Traditional caches, indices and tables have been replaced by dynamic, visually sophisticated dashboards. To realize the promise of big data, the computing power behind those dashboards needs to continually increase and, for some, it may need to double annually.
