Description
In the mid-1980s systems integration visionary Vivek Ranadivé broke the real-time informa-tion barrier and helped digitize Wall Street. With his international bestseller The Power of Now, he helped usher in the real-time busi-ness revolution of the late 1990s. Now with this groundbreaking new book, Ranadivé brings news of the next big leap in business systems evolution-The Power to Predict.
Real-time business gives companies the ability to monitor and react to changes and address problems as they occur. But no matter how sophisticated their information-gathering and data-mining systems are, they're still playing catch-up. In The Power to Predict, Ranadivé forecasts the next step in achieving break-through business performance, a new approach he calls Predictive Business™: the ability to anticipate business problems and opportunities and to act preemptively. Predictive Business allows companies to take real-time information, correlate it with historical patterns, and recognize events that hold tremendous profit potential.
