Eliminating Lag Time: The Last Mile in Creating a Real-Time Enterprise

8 April 2005

This year is all about the real-time enterprise. Companies are spending a lot of energy, effort and money on real-time projects in order to get up-to-the-minute information to those who need it, when they need it. They are integrating their enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, deploying portals, synchronizing data and leveraging radio frequency identification (RFID). But what’s the point of having real-time information if that information can’t be delivered in real time? Lag time created by network bandwidth and latency limitations, server capacity and latency restrictions, and security bottlenecks can cripple real-time efforts. These issues must be addressed if IT managers want to truly create a real-time enterprise.

Information is Perishable, According to Hy-Vee
Enterprise applications that were once confined to the corporate headquarters are now widely distributed to users across the extended enterprise. In this environment, it is critical that businesses deliver these applications in real time. After all, poor performance is no longer an annoying inconvenience; it can have a serious impact the business as a whole.

Cevin Anderson, the assistant vice president of IT for Hy-Vee Supermarkets, knows this firsthand. Hy-Vee operates more than 200 supermarket and drug stores in the Midwest. With annual sales in excess of 4 billion, the chain is ranked among the top 15 in the nation. Hy-Vee emphasizes freshness when it comes to its merchandise, and Anderson sees IT in the same way.

To maximize the value of its information, the organization deployed a portal to provide real-time intelligence to its employees. More than 45,000 employees have access to current corporate communications. All management-level employees have access to information critical to the operation of their store. It serves as the one of the primary communication channel between corporate headquarters and the retail stores.

Real-time portal applications like this one play a pivotal role in improving business efficiency, providing store associates with the right information at the right time. According to Anderson, faster access to mission-critical business information, exceptional customer service and higher productivity keeps them ahead of the competition.

“If we don’t have responsive IT and accurate information out in the hands of those who really need it, then the entire real-time concept breaks down,” said Anderson.

To eliminate lag time and improve the performance of its Plumtree portal application, Anderson and his team deployed the FineGround Condenser. Installed within the data center, the Condenser employs a variety of optimization techniques to improve enterprise application performance. As a result, the solution reduces infrastructure costs, reduces performance engineering costs, enhances IT productivity and improves the user experience. For Hy-Vee, the Condenser delivered a 90% reduction in HTML traffic and increased the portal’s performance by 250% to 350%.

To create a true real-time enterprise, organizations should consider the new breed of enterprise application delivery solutions to deliver up-to-the-minute information up to and beyond the last mile.
