I attended a very interesting presentation given by Henk from Cordys this week on Case Management. With Henk’s permission I have posted his slides on Slideshare.net (you can see them embedded below). Case management is an interesting “subset” of Business Process Management. I say “subset” as I don’t think that case management “processes” are really [...]

Ron Shevlin had a great post today - Four BS BI Trends (And One Good One) - in which he took exception to some BI trends reported in CIO Magazine (Five Key Business Intelligence Trends You Need to Know
). Like Ron I have some comments about these trends.

Trend No. 1: There’s so much data, but [...]

I realized yesterday that people might not know what the SOA Consortium is, so I thought I would publish some quick notes. The SOA consortium (www.soa-consortium.org) is a time-limited (2010) advocacy group for business-driven SOA.
In other words they are going to “Promote and enable business agility via SOA to allow businesses to compete, innovate [...]

My friend Cyril Brookes published a Q&A about the book here - Memo to Business Analysts: A Compelling Treatise on Why and How Businesses should Automate Decisions. Enjoy.

Next up was a panel of experts - Sandy Carter of IBM, Judith Hurwitz of Hurwitz & Associates, Richard Soley of OMG - moderated by Brenda Michelson.

Sandy Carter of IBM was [...]

Ron Shevlin blogged about CapOne’s new Card Lab. Like Ron I really like the fact that CapOne is using the interactivity possible on the web both to let customers find a product that meets their requirements and to gather a whole bunch of useful information about how customers think about credit cards. What strikes me, [...]

Mike Kavis, a blogger on ITToolbox and Chief Architect, sent me an interesting question about enterprise metadata
He says “My company has huge amounts of historical data. We load 500M new rows a day and keep data for 116 weeks. I am trying to move this company away from being report writers to being [...]

Bill over at the Wireless MD had a couple of interesting posts on e-prescribing today - Senatorial bi-partisan support for e-prescribing and Caveats for e-prescribing. The use of technology to improve healthcare is an endlessly fascinating discussion and the use of information systems to handle prescriptions (e-prescribing) is one of the most debated.
There is growing [...]
