Let’s start with a simple idea. Real time intelligence (or RTI) is about shrinking the delay between when data is created and when you can act on it. In traditional systems, we’re often used to data being collected, stored, and only analyzed later, maybe overnight or even weekly. That’s fine for long term reporting, but it’s too slow for situations where immediate action matters.
Assume that I levy my standard complaint here about how “internet speed” is not real-time. But leaving that aside, Greg gives a few use cases for RTI, and I do think it’s a good part of the Microsoft Fabric platform.
