Presented by: Solutions Cube Group (REP 2451)

This webinar is the first of a series on Requirements and Definitions by Solutions Cube.  Although this module is a part of the series – each module in the series can be taken individually.

In many companies, the Requirements Definition process fails to define the “real” business need for a project.

What may appear to be a great solutions are often developed without any tie to the real project needs. Unfortunately, the discovery of missing, out of scope, or poorly defined requirements often happens much too late in the project life-cycle leading to project failure.

Avoiding these costly mistakes requires a clear understanding of the requirements definition process and the right tools and techniques to define complete requirements for a project.

Learn how to create a requirements definition foundation that engages the right stakeholders, alignment on the project scope and progressive elaboration techniques for maintaining the right level of focus throughout the requirements definition life-cycle.

In this webinar participants learn about:

• How to use the Project Scope Statement deliverables to guide the team’s creation of “real” project need and project solution statements
• How to use collaborative techniques to lead team members through requirements creation activities
• How to use the Wave Concept to progressively build requirements using collaborative techniques
• Techniques for ensuring the Requirements Definition efforts are on the right track, from the onset of the project

Drools is a technically strong, high performance Business Rules Management System (BRMS).

Drools has editors that can be configured so business analysts and business users can maintain and update business rules but many organizations trying to engage their business users in this way find that there are challenges in requirements gathering, implementation and navigation.

In this webinar you will learn why decision modeling as part of the requirements phase or iteratively during agile projects addresses these challenges, making it easier for business users to fully participate in Drools implementations and maintenance.

Learn how decision management and decision modeling:

• Capture business know-how graphically and early in the requirements process
• Create and sustain a business friendly navigational view of the entire Drools project.
• Provide a framework for growth of Drools-based applications.

The webinar will include a demonstration of decision modeling with DecisionsFirst Modeler and Drools conforming to the forthcoming Decision Model Notation (DMN) standard.

Join James Taylor,  and Mariano De Maio, (Linkedin profile) CTO of Drools experts Plugtree in this informative session.

The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) found that a typical organization loses 5% of revenues to fraud each year.  The more connected the industry the more potential there is for fraud. The mobile industry alone loses over $46 billion annually to fraud. When it comes the detecting fraud in the financial services industry 16% take up to 8 hours to detect it and 22% do not know the average time for detection.

Traditional approaches, designed to combat fraud, often bring together a patchwork quilt of database, ETL (Extract, Transform and Load) and BI technologies working in a batch mode.

The problem is this delivers insights that are hours or days behind. Unfortunately fraudsters work in real time and often complete their job in under a day.

This presentation will review the approach Argyle Data has taken to develop a real-time fraud analytics application using anomaly detection at scale building on open source technology developed at the NSA (Accumulo) and Facebook (Prestodb) on the Hortonworks Data Platform.

The presentation will review:

1. Market
   • The Financial Scale of Fraud
   • Types of Mobile Fraud
   • The Scalability Required to Track Fraud in a Mobile Network
2. Accumulo
   • What is Accumulo
   • Accumulo on the Hortonworks Data Platform
3. Argyle Data
   • Creating a Packet Level Data Lake
   • Using a Signal Processing Approach for Anomaly Detection at Petabyte Scale
