White Paper of the Week: Predictive Analytics in the Cloud
We are in the middle of updating our Predictive Analytics in the Cloud research (if you haven’t taken the survey yet, please do so now) so I thought I would give you a link to the previously published research – Predictive Analytics in the Cloud 2011. There are two key white papers you can download: […]
Decision Model and Notation – an introduction to the Beta Specification
As I announced earlier in the week, the Decision Model and Notation specification is now (barring a few technicalities) a Beta specification at the OMG. While members can get access to the submission, non-members would normally have to wait a few more weeks. With the permission of the other submitters, however, I have posted it […]
Predictive Analytics in Software Part 4: Land and Expand
Most software products have multiple opportunities for using predictive analytics to enhance decision-making. Because the use of predictive analytics is new for many software companies, and because handling decisions explicitly is also new, care must be taken not to bite off too much at once. A land and expand strategy that begins with a localized […]
Next steps for the Decision Model and Notation standard
I have been blogging and writing about the Decision Model and Notation standard on the blog for a while now (check out these posts on the goal of a standard from 2011 and these on the approach and the submission itself). Today was a big day because the key boards at the Object Management Group approved our submission, […]
Decision Camp 2013: Introduction to Decision Management

I will participate in the newcomers track on the Monday, helping to introduce the basics of Decision Management and then I will help open the main day on the Tuesday. Monday’s session will be something like: The Decision Management Journey […]
Tell us what you think about predictive analytics in the cloud
We would really like your input for our 2013 survey on Predictive Analytics in the Cloud – Use Cases, Trends and Big Data. Back in 2011 we did a survey and associated research on the use of predictive analytics in the cloud. While it may not seem like that long ago, back then predictive analytics was […]
Predictive Analytics in Software Part 3: Automation that Scales
For a software company it is also important that this automation scales appropriately. In particular any automated analytic model development tool you use should provide flexibility in deployment to match your own, manage any variability between your customers’ data models and be easy to deploy, focused on the “last mile” of analytic model development. For most […]
The role of decisions in intelligent processes
Wrapping up, the key to intelligent processes is treating decisions as peers. Decisions may require a human but an intelligent process will automate those that can be automated. Even when a decision cannot be completely automated an intelligent process will load share between automated components and users. Even when a case exceeds the ability of the system […]
