Zero Latency Organization
Fernando Iafrate · 2015
A zero latency organization is best described as an organization whose temporality of activity monitoring, via the implementation of its decisions, is directly linked to the temporality of its business processes in order to respond as fast as possible to changes in context. Three types of latency are: latency linked to data, latency linked to analytical processes, and latency linked to decision-making processes. Latency linked to data could be deemed "technical" as it is directly linked to the architecture and the urbanization of the information system. Latency linked to analytical processes consists of contextualizing the transaction data (from Big Data) using decision-making data (to Smart Data). Latency linked to decision-making processes relates to business; the determining factor is the capacity, and particularly the temporality, decision makers (or a delegated automated process) require to implement actions linked to their decision-making.
