The API Obsession Is Insufficient
AD&D pros seek Apis to serve the model of 
request and response. Because of this obsession 
with “What Api can i call?” they ignore the 
question of “What real-time context can i acquire?”

All Data Is Born Fast
All data originates in a flash, whether it is from 
internet-of-things (iot) devices, web clicks, 
transactions, or mobile app usage. But traditional 
analytics is done much, much later. Why 
wait? AD&D pros can use streaming analytics 
embedded in applications to get actionable 
value tout de suite. so what are you waiting 
for? streaming analytics solutions can capture 
perishable insights on real-time data to bring 
immediate context to all iot, mobile, web, and 
enterprise apps.
