They will need a glass of water. Perhaps a break, too. Or,…
You know how they say every second matters? Well, take it to heart. Time is critical, especially when it comes to Business Intelligence. Let’s have a closer look at the importance of real-time information. The diagram above (source: Forrester) shows how fast you need to act if you want information to be actionable.

Temperatures are rising, birds chirp their hearts out, and color is returning to the landscape. Spring is in the air. And it sure is a spring of sorts: the majority of people work from home, so working days look different. You need to organize a lot, but with commuting time no longer consuming your hours, you might also have more time on your hands. Want to use it efficiently?…
A crisis is rippling through the world, and it’s palpable across industries. For example, the EU has asked Netflix to take it down a notch, after which Netflix announced it would reduce streaming speeds in Europe for 30 days to help ease internet congestion. At Texas Digital, we’ve seen a shift in needs as well: some of our clients in the US and Europe had to set up a…
Suppose you’re walking downtown, craving some good food and a welcoming atmosphere. You spot two restaurants. One has a neon red sign above the door that reads, ‘Open.’ The other is adorned by a green sign that says, ‘Welcome.’ Which restaurant do you pick?
