    Presentation Title: What Are Smart (Enough) Systems And Why Do You Need Them?

    Description: Most organizations struggle with information systems that are simply not smart enough for today’s business climate. They are too dumb and too rigid. It’s not enough to implement process-oriented software. Business processes have to be monitored, analyzed, automated, optimized and continuously improved. Lots of approaches are being tried from Business Intelligence to Performance Management, from Service Oriented Architecture to Business Process Management. But unless you take control of decisions, your systems will never be smart enough. Neil and James introduce the idea of smart (enough) systems, show why they are needed and introduce an approach that works.

    Speaker Photo: James Taylor Speaker Photo: Neil Raden About the Presenters: Neil and James are authors of the forthcoming book Smart (Enough) Systems from Prentice Hall, and recognized industry experts on business rules, analytics and enterprise decision management (EDM).

    Q&A: A Q&A session will follow the talk. Neil and James will take your questions.

    The Forum Connection: This year’s Rule Conferences will cover the rapidly growing footprint of EDM, and how companies like yours are expanding its use within business and IT architectures. Neil and James will be presenting there on “Business Rules, Decision Management and Smarter Systems”. Other sessions will cover a wide range of topics on how EDM:


    • Brings agility to BPM

    • Delivers decision services within a SOA environment

    • Plays an important role in legacy migration/modernization

    • Helps achieve effective compliance at lower costs

    • Improves BI with closed-loop decisioning

    How to Deliver Competitive Advantage by Automating Hidden Decisions

    By Neil Raden and James Taylor

    “Automated decision systems are probably already being used in your industry, and they will undoubtedly grow in importance. If your business needs to make quick, accurate decisions on an industrialized scale, you need to read this book.”

    - Thomas H. Davenport, Author of Competing on Analytics

    “This book shows how to use proven technology to make business processes smarter. It clearly makes the case that organizations need to optimize their operational decisions. It is a must-have reference for process professionals throughout your organization.”

    - Jim Sinur, Chief Strategy Officer, Global 360 (formerly of Gartner)

    “A masterful presentation of an important new idea, Enterprise Decision Management (EDM). Like BPM, EDM is destined to provide a focal point where business minds and IT engineers can find common and very fertile ground to plan for success. There’s simply no alternative if you want your processes to be agile, adaptive and comprehensively compliant.”
