Real-Time Analytics: When Speed Actually Matters
Tuesday 2nd September 2025
12pm – 1pm
This event is a webinar
Join us for our September Data Analytics Monthly Forum and explore how you can harness the power of real-time analytics!
Our monthly data forum is designed to bring together organisations of all sizes to discuss the latest trends and challenges in the data landscape.
Our Data Analytics Monthly Forum, is now bigger and better than ever! Our primary goal is to ensure that you derive maximum benefits from these sessions and that we consistently deliver value to you. For that reason, we encourage you to reach out to us about topics you’d like to see covered and engage in discussions during the forums.
Some decisions can wait until tomorrow. Others can’t wait until the next minute.
The difference between real-time analytics and everything else isn’t just speed, it’s about fundamentally changing what becomes possible. When you can detect patterns as they emerge, respond to events as they unfold, and trigger actions before problems escalate, you can work faster with more precision. But does your organisation truly need real-time data?
On September the 2nd, we’ll help you answer that. We’ll cover the importance of having access to real-time insights and when they have the power to deliver transformational value that favours your organisation.
Agenda
- Real-time analytics – what it is and why it matters: See how instant, accurate insights are reshaping decisions, enabling new analysis opportunities such as faster actions and smarter location-based reporting.
- Architecture foundations – choosing your approach: Learn how batch, micro-batch, near real-time, and streaming architectures compare, and how to select the right level of responsiveness for your platform and business needs.
- Tooling and implementation options: We’ll explore the solutions available to get started with real-time analytics, from open-source tools like Kafka to Microsoft Fabric’s integrated Real-Time Intelligence with KQL.
- Seeing real-time insights in action: Watch real-time geospatial analytics work in practice with Microsoft Fabric’s interactive dashboard.
Whether you’re new to real-time analytics and curious about the insights you can gain or looking to optimise existing systems, this month’s forum will sharpen your thinking and help you invest in speed that actually matters.
