Building the Real-Time Enterprise at DaimlerChrysler

The concept of the Real-Time Enterprise has emerged gradually at DaimlerChrysler over the past several years. It has developed in parallel with continuing advances in communication technologies and the changing role they play in business. Communications have evolved in recent years from more or less peripheral support systems to become a critical component of real-time operations. Today, real-time communications must not only be integrated in core business processes, it must be fully embedded: real-time is core process.
