Prime Time for Real Time by Peter Fingar (May 1, 2005, Intelligent Enterprise) explains that a strategy for creating a real-time enterprise has impications beyond the technology architecture...

'A real-time enterprise is agile; it executes new business strategies when they can deliver the greatest benefit. Analysts and enterprise architects must start with this sort of business-oriented vision of real time and consider how best to make it happen. Business process management (BPM) systems and methods hold promise as the means of reaching the next threshold — but only if BPM is viewed as something more than just an extension of current software development strategies. Living closer to the development of business strategy, BPM can offer a global perspective on how to integrate cross-functional processes for dynamic execution.'
