Real-Time Data in the Digital Economy
Why your data architecture could make or break your business.

The Big Data Legacy
The advent of Big Data brought enormous opportunity for businesses to capture significant market share. Even startups could compete at the level of enterprise companies across different industries.
For more than 10 years, all the tools created to manage large amounts of data breached the maturity curve. Organizations dealt with challenges: proliferation of tooling, unclear data ownership, slow time to insight, data sharing friction, poor customer experience, and complex operations management.
The $16.5 Trillion Opportunity
There's another wave of opportunity for businesses in the next three years. By 2028, the market opportunity will total to $16.5T. Compare that to less than a fifth from last year.
Most of this growth will be driven by Real-time Data and AI workloads while Analytics workloads will also represent a decent chunk. Organizations that started the journey of capitalizing on real-time data saw revenue growth increase to 62% and generated a higher profit margin of 97%.
The closer the business is to generating instant insights, and the more customers are able to buy products or services at their whim, the more business they generate.
The Integrity Gap
For real-time data processing to be effective and efficient, it has to happen across all steps in the data lifecycle. When data changes, it takes a long time to reflect from collection to consumption stage. It's also very expensive to apply the changes.
The integrity of the data must be kept intact from stage to stage so that business rules and metrics are correct, accurate, and consistent. Over the years, workloads have become more complex and current tooling can no longer support it.
The Tacnode Solution
Tacnode was created to alleviate these challenges. It provides a real-time data lakehouse solution where changes to data are reflected immediately without affecting performance and scalability.
Organizations that require real-time data access and complex AI workloads will no longer have to use multiple products to support it. They are guaranteed to have fresh data at their fingertips, always.
Users can trust that data they are querying is always consistent and correct. Tacnode is cloud-native and it's a self-tuning, self-healing SaaS solution, allowing organizations to innovate and move with the exponential growth of the digital economy.
