Lowe Wed, 07 Jan 2009 22:17:32 +0000 http://jtonedm.com/?p=1109#comment-12692 Jim, I really enjoyed your book, and think you have done a great service for the EDM community as a whole with this site. I agree with most of your predictions, with a few caveats. I believe that cloud computing will play a vital role in decision automation in the future, but not in the form a one that is sold as a service offering available through the internet, as Amazon's EC2. The truth of the matter is personal computers are only used five percent (5%) of the time, and even a company with only two hundred desktops, having Core Duo or similar processors, has a virtual supercompter sitting idle on their employee's desktops. In these tough economic times, I can't imagine any CEO who knows this simple fact, would approve spending even a penny on some plan to dynamically provision machines on the internet. When the dust finally settles, an hype gives way to economic sensibility,  the cloud environment will be re-purposed, unused desktop CPU cycles, memory, and disk storage. In terms of the evolution of EDM products, I predict that innovative start-ups, like <a href="http://www.agentos.net" rel="nofollow">Mobile Agent Technologies</a>,  will continue to push the envelope with more feature rich, and well integrated, intelligent software platforms.  Their <a href="http://www.agentos.net/index-4.html" rel="nofollow">Einstein Enterprise</a> offering combines  human cognitive theory, with cloud computing, business rules, data mining, predictive modeling, complex events processing, a relational database and a content management system.  As for "pre-built" industry specific analytical models, thumbs down, as knowledge is the only competitive advantage any firm has. If acme widget down the block has the same models as you, then the only firm that benefits is the vendor who sold it to you.  Herbert A. Lowell Jim,
I really enjoyed your book, and think you have done a great service for the EDM community as a whole with this site. I agree with most of your predictions, with a few caveats. I believe that cloud computing will play a vital role in decision automation in the future, but not in the form a one that is sold as a service offering available through the internet, as Amazon’s EC2.
