Corporate governance 
Recent high-profile court cases show that high-level executives can be held accountable for corporate 
governance failures. In many cases, pleading ignorance is no longer an acceptable defense. With 
executives being held directly responsible for corporate wrong-doing, they are motivated to demand 
greater corporate control and visibility into a company’s inner workings. Corporate complexity 
requires that IT be part of the corporate governance process. When event data management is 
limited, one can achieve only component-level corporate visibility. With centralized management of 
high-volume event data, one can achieve cross-function control and audit. 
Business growth 
Corporations experience business growth for a variety of reasons such as success in the market place, 
expansion into new markets, and mergers and acquisitions. In all cases, the IT infrastructure must 
grow to match the expansion of the business. The growth results in the addition of more system 
components, more types of components, and ultimately, more system events. So, even if a business 
wishes only to maintain existing system and security management capabilities, there is an inevitable 
increase in the volume of events it generates. 
Expansion of automation 
To reap the benefits provided by IT efficiencies, enterprises must seek to automate more of their operations. 
However, increased IT infrastructure automation also increases the volume of events produced. 
Heterogeneous growth 
With acquisitions and mergers, businesses must manage the unanticipated combination and 
integration of disparate systems. As businesses grow, they must integrate new generations of 
technology with legacy systems. These heterogeneous growth requirements spur the need for 
centralized management to provide a comprehensive view. Heterogeneous growth geometrically 
increases the number of actual combinations of interdependent system components. All of this results 
in an increased volume of events produced, and an increased need to correlate varieties of events. 
Increased system complexity 
Effective system management yields more efficient performance, lesser response time, greater 
utilization of IT assets, rapid response to failures and fulfillment of service level agreements. As system 
complexity increases, these system management goals cannot be achieved only by component-level 
monitoring and restricted time span analysis. Additionally, event data filtering assumes that one 
knows in advance where system problems lie, and does not allow for post mortem analysis of 
unanticipated scenarios. As system complexity grows, the need increases to monitor the 
interdependency of system components and conduct analysis within longer time spans. Therefore, the 
ability to collect, store, and analyze event data spanning many components for longer periods of time 
increases the efficacy of system management. Regarding event data, system and security 
management have redundant needs, and larger available volumes of event data have a multi-
dimensional positive impact on corporate IT governance and effectiveness. 
Increased awareness of an expanded event data management solution set 
Popular solutions are inherently limited for managing event data. Many organizations accept these 
limitations and lower their expectations with regard to the value of event data management. However, 
more robust solutions with quantum advances in handling volume and scale are increasing those 
expectations. There are many examples of this in IT history. Until affordable PCs were available, 
personal productivity tools such as word processors and spreadsheets would have seldom been 
created. Until the Internet was fully adopted, business models such as amazon.com, eBay, and 
Google would not have worked. So, the availability of high-volume event data management 
technology will perpetuate the creation of more effective solutions capable of efficiently handling 
growing volumes of enterprise event data.
