Think About It
Are data infrastructures ready to deliver insights at the speed of thought—or, for that matter, at the speed of an AI prompt?

Then, as the digital economy evolved, certain parts of the data infrastructure moved to near real time, meaning results to queries were delivered within a half-hour to several hours.
