When BP began to deploy IntraNect XL our System wasn't in the center of attention. Now it is! Why?



I suppose this is true for many industries and it might be not an individual phenomena.

The original design might have just called for a few daily collections of POS Data and 15 years later you find yourself in  the center of a fairly complex logistic chain. Welcome to non-linear systems!

Confronted with almost realtime Features your design architecture needs to be robust and flexible  - a tough stretch.

IntraNect XL is certainly adapting to the new requests - not always easily -  but it is worth mentioning that the expectations have changed quite dramatic.
