The Definition of Real-Time Reporting
Real-time reporting is a business intelligence practice that consists of gathering up-to-the-minute data and relaying it to users as it happens. Information is presented in its most current form for managers to easily make quick decisions when under heavy time constraints.
The Necessity of Real-Time Reporting
Prior to the digital technological era we live in today, companies had ample amount of time to assemble, process, and package business data for executives. Businesses and their competitors moved at a slow steady pace, leaving sufficient time to calculate numbers and analyze reports.
Today, with the development of high performance technologies and advanced communication channels, internal and external business affairs are moving faster than ever. Society has reached the point where annual budget cycles and monthly financial reports are no longer enough for investors. Fiscal information must now be available on-demand, at all times.
To adapt, real-time reporting software is designed to process data as quickly as it is recieved.
