Concept art representing business complexity generated by Blue Willow . EDA, a software design pattern that can enable real-time, event-driven communication among diverse applications via an event broker, is becoming pervasive among enterprises that want to power time-sensitive applications, business processes, and insights (advanced analytics, machine learning [ML], AI) at scale. Implementations of EDA platforms are now on the fast track, with 82% of IT leaders saying their company plans to apply EDA to 2-3 new use cases within the next 24 months. A new IDC Infobrief charts this rise. EDA adoption goes hand in hand with digital maturity, with 47% of respondents describing their EDA journey as either maturing (“centralised”) or “advanced”. And the rise of EDA is industry-agnostic. Research shows m...
