Real-time edge stream analytics is the key to situational awareness and improved decision quality. #GartnerIO #IO

What are some common edge stream analytics use cases? 3 examples 🔽 #GartnerIO #IO

"Stream processing is not appropriate for every analytics problem. Work with key stakeholders to determine which use cases can benefit from real-time streaming data." #GartnerIO #IO

How does stream analytics differ from conventional analytics? #GartnerIO #IO

Conventional systems analyze data after it is stored; whereas Event Stream Processing (ESP) platforms analyze data-in-motion as it arrives, operating at the edge. #GartnerIO #IO

ESP platforms are appropriate for high-volume, low-latency event-drive applications. #GartnerIO #IO

"One size does not fit all. Use different streaming architectures and ESP technologies for different business problems." #GartnerIO

3⃣ ways to derive business value from stream analytics. First, connect tech KPIs to stakeholder value. #GartnerIO #IO

Finally: Empower user to compose analytics solutions. #GartnerIO #IO

Key Takeaway: "Push beyond technology KPIs. You must align with stakeholder value by applying product management principles and empowering the user." #GartnerIO #IO
