White Paper of the Week: In-Database Analytics
This week’s white paper of the week is a short paper on In-database Analytics
In-database analytics offer a powerful tool for embedding advanced analytics in a critical component of IT infrastructure. As the amount of data involved has grown and as data infrastructure has become more powerful, the adoption of in-database analytic technology has grown rapidly. This white paper sponsored by SAS introduces in-database analytics and explores their role in embedding advanced analytics in Decision Management Systems.

Some Decision Management and Compliance Resources
After our successful webinar last week I wanted to highlight the various resources for those using Decision Management and Business Rules to develop compliant systems.

Webinar: Best Practices in Targeted Legacy Modernization in Government
I am giving a webinar on Best Practices in Targeted Legacy Modernization in Government March 5, 2014 at Noon Eastern with Claye Greene, MD of government solutions provider and Decision Management Solutions partner TechBlue.

Instead of trying to replace an entire system with the high risks and costs involved in such a project, these government organizations are instead adopting a decision management approach and business rules management systems to target their modernization efforts where they have the biggest impact.
In this live webinar we’ll share know how and best practices from their extensive experience helpi
Mckinsey, analytics and decision models
There was an interesting article from McKinsey this month – The benefits—and limits—of decision models – by Phil Rosenzweig.
As Phil points out using models (and he is talking about analytic models) helps avoid common biases that undermine leaders’ judgments such as over confidence, a focus on recent data etc. And I would add not just leaders – it also helps avoid the biases of staff throughout the organization. In fact the examples – credit card fraud (not really a recent application but still a great one), loans,pricing, insurance – are not made by “leaders” at all but by front line workers or automated systems.
