What is temporal distortion?
Simply put, it is the difference between the business model represented by your enterprise applications as compared to the true actions of your company. Temporal distortion is an expensive problem that slows your organization's response to market opportunities and challenges. Temporal distortion results in business at the speed of recoding your applications.
Effects of temporal distortion:
- A rapidly growing nationwide retailer "is allowed" to introduce chain store reorganizations only once or twice per year due to problems encountered in updating its business model in all of the enterprise's applications.
- A major technology manufacturer requires 120 days to reallocate sales territories.
- A giant food products company takes one year to reconfigure its product groupings, based upon syndicated data offerings.
- A financial services firm suffers commission leakage of three million dollars per year.
