First Look – IBM and SPSS

Beyond Predictive BI

Syndicated from ebizQ
David Linthicum’s recent blog post Approaching Predictive BI made me want to reiterate some of my thinking around BI (on which I have a whole category) on my blog. I often talk about going “beyond BI” with decision management. I distinguish between BI and Decision Management because BI helps you understand your business [...]
