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
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.

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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
