ABOUT THIS SESSION:
The modern business climate requires smarter systems than most organizations have.

Automating critical operational decisions with business rules, enhancing those rules with data-driven analytics and managing and adapting those decisions over time is what is needed: This approach, enterprise decision management, is the subject of a new book “Smart (Enough) Systems” by the presenters. What you will learn:
- Which decisions should you focus on to make your systems smarter.
- How rules and analytics come together to automate decisions.
