Vivek Ranadive makes a compelling business case...
If there is one business-oriented IT strategy book on the rather esoteric (and somewhat unglamorous) subject of "middleware infrastructure," this is it! In this book, Vivek Ranadive makes a compelling business case to CEOs, CIOs and CFOs to invest in event-driven real-time infrastructure, citing success stories from leading global financial companies including Goldman Sachs and Nomura.

The Business Case For The Real-Time Enterprise
This book inspired me to start a company called KnowNow; I have bought a copy of the book for every executive who has joined my company to inspire them, too. The Power Of Now is a business-focused treatise on the use of publish-subscribe technology in creating highly responsive business processes. Though I agree with the reviewer who claimed the writing style is somewhat dry, I do think it is the most compelling book I've read that makes the case for IT strategists to transition to infrastructure that supports real-time applications.

It was useful.
The book covered some of the real-time technology that TIBCO and other IT firms developed. But it is outdated. The environment now in year 2003 is very different. Similar Products
