This track will present important concepts and definitions, early stage forecasts and conclusions and a measure of useful debate on the nature of the real-time enterprise, including why and how users should increase their focus here. Sessions explore changes in consumer and employee expectations in an accelerating business cycle and how they provide a context for the RTE; the management dimensions of building, delivering and sustaining an RTE; and the critical technologies and architecture that will be required to enable progress toward the RTE.

Lead Presentation: Time-Based Transformation Can Create Real Business Value
(13D)
11:30 am - 12:30 pm 24 March 2003
Raskino, Mark
Some IT and business leaders are starting to use the term 'real time enterprise' to describe the next chapter in the story of IT-enabled business change. The technologies of the Internet era, mobile and wireless and the supranet can be combined to enable super-efficient organizations. The unifying dimension of change is the radical reduction of event-to-response business process cycle times. We explain what RTE is, why it is especially relevant in 2003 and what you need to do to get started.
- Why a enterprises need to resolve the problems of the post 'e' era?
- How RTE time-based transformation can create the deep change needed to get real business value from technology?
- Who do we see doing some of this, and how have they benefited, and what it will lead to?
- What RTE is, what it is not and where to start?
Lead Presentation: The Great Debate: Application Development or Assembly for the Real-Time Enterprise?
(15A)
2:00 pm - 3:00 pm 24 March 2003
Hotle, Matt Driver, Mark Vecchio, Dale Lanowitz, Theresa
Is the tradition of coding applications dead? Can organizations continue to deliver business value using the normal approaches to application development, or will AD become increasingly about assembling business function from a wide variety of sources? Can applications be constructed with a single purpose in mind, or must a services-oriented mentality rule all future AD? This debate will address these questions and many others about the future of application development.
- What are dominant forces driving application development over the next five years?
- What skills will be required to deliver dynamic and adaptive business function for the real-time enterprise?
- What are the technologies necessary for delivering flexibility for all new applications?

Survival in this environment requires organizations to implement strategies that are in sync with the underlying cycles of cultural change. This presentation outlines a strategy for the new synchronization.
- What is the new psychology of your customers and employees?
- What is the emergent view of real-time business cycles?

Business Applications and the Real-Time Enterprise
(46E)
3:00 pm - 4:00 pm 27 March 2003
Brant, Ken
The real-time enterprise (RTE) is an emerging concept that promises great business impact. However, while a confluence of new technologies will enable real-time performance, the RTE is not simply a matter of technology. Enterprises must take a broader view of business processes and people to complement their technology migration efforts. Further, enterprises will have to reconcile RTE evolution with their business applications portfolios.
- What is RTE?
- How do key RTE concepts relate to business process and applications management practices?
- Which technologies and architecture will enable RTE?
- How will business applications evolve to meet users' requirements for RTE?
