Using decision management to deliver intelligent business performance

Steve Cranford of PwC wrote an interesting piece called Bringing Order to Chaos (brought to my attention by Alan over at Tibco) that made me think.

The Future of Enterprise Applications

I had to blog the last two sessions on paper – there are no power sockets in the hotel (the Palazzo at the Venetian in Las Vegas, conference planners please note) and my battery eventually gave up. So, back in the hotel now, here’s a summary of the notes I took.

Mike Gualtieri of Forrester had a blog post a few months back that I missed then but that he pointed out to me this week – What Is Your Future?

What IS a smart (enough) system anyway?

I am often asked the question in the title – what is a smart (enough) system? Here’s the list we use when we talk about it:
