Continuous intelligence transforms streaming data into streaming insights. Computing occurs continuously, with insights delivered in real-time driven by data.

The explosive availability of streaming data offers businesses incredible opportunities and challenges. They are increasingly turning to continuous intelligence, which is a form of real-time analytics of streaming data used to support decisions when actions must be taken as changes occur.

To better understand what continuous intelligence is and what it can do for organizations, RTInsights recently sat down with Simon Crosby, CTO at Swim, which offers the first open core, enterprise-grade platform for continuous intelligence at scale. Here is a summary of that discussion.

What is continuous intelligence?

RTInsights: What is continuous intelligence, and how is it different from big data analytics, streaming analytics, and business intelligence?

Crosby: Continuous intelligence lets organizations analyze, then act, and then store later, processing real-time streaming data on-the-fly. Insights are delivered a million times faster by avoiding database roundtrips, and deep insights emerge from the fusion of streaming and traditional data as applications continuously analyze, learn, and predict.
