EDM Summit – some closing thoughts
I thought I would wrap up with some closing thoughts for the week:
- Lots of discussion of the importance of data – understanding it, integrating it, cleaning it and making the same data available to those reporting on it, doing analytics with it and running operational systems.
- Interesting times in the rules market with recent acquisitions by SAP, IBM, Oracle and Bosch
- Definite signs of growing awareness that decisioning is at the intersection of rules, analytics, data mining and more
- Some companies are showing great returns on an investment in decision management using both business rules and analytics
- Worries about the short term impact of the global crisis were balanced with optimism that the current problems will make companies more focused on building the kind of rules-based, analytically-enhanced, agile systems that can help prevent these problems in the future
Lots of people blogged – me, Sandy, Paul, Angie, Mike. Here’s the full list of posts I have found – I will edit it if any more show up
