The survey by the Enterprise Strategy Group found that there is an ongoing complacency with batch processing in enterprises, despite recognition of the importance of real-time processing. The results show that most respondents (86%) update their data sets for real-time analytics in seconds or less, but a significant majority (75%) update daily for batch analytics. This discrepancy is attributed to the use of time-consuming ETL processes, which lead to lengthy update cycles and contribute to the "batch gap." However, customers now have a choice to adopt databases that can handle real-time transactions and analytics concurrently, eliminating delays with ETL and achieving complete visibility to their data as it changes.
