the opportunity

For the significant minority who succeed in the real-time enterprise environment, the opportunity to capitalise on the huge potential available at the expense of their competitors is enormous.The challenge for these companies is to build an enterprise engine that can manage the unpredictable volume of transactions that an e-business system can generate.

the reality

Recent Newport Group research in the USA found that "52% of those attempting to build, reliable, transaction-based, web environments report that their application failed to scale..." Significantly it also found that only 6% of organisations interviewed had adopted any form of performance testing early in their programme, with a staggering 60% conducting no performance testing at all! Consultants must be able to help their successful clients cope with the unpredictable demands that e-business brings and also be able to help those clients still on the road to success (the remaining majority) to learn from others and become successful more quickly.

the future

In the race to claim the rewards e-business can generate, online activity has been known to de-rail entire systems by pushing them to their limits and, sadly, beyond. E-business demands that organisations systematically plan, build, test and continuously monitor applications' performance to both minimise business risk and to provide the support to sustain the unpredictable heavy system loading that success will bring. E-business continues to grow, creating huge opportunities for those able to rise above the tide. Ever increasing pressure on new and existing systems to respond to demand ensures the future belongs to those who can.
