In this webinar we will explore Decision Modeling for analysts with TDM (The Decision Model) and DMN (Decision Model and Notation):

• Len Silverston (best-selling author), stated that The Decision Model “…provides a framework and model that takes our field to the next level.” Today, this prediction has come true.
• The Object Management Group’s Decision Model and Notation specification (DMN) established decision modeling as a legitimate practice, ushering in a missing software market.
• The IIBA has recognized the need for decision modeling.

This webinar covers this new direction:

• Starts with three kinds of change for which decision models are appropriate: regulatory requirements, operational decisions, and transformational business change.
• Explains why decision modeling is more than a missing discipline and shows how decision models become living, managed business assets, not stagnant requirements documentation.
• Explores TDM and DMN including cases studies confirming that decision modeling, integrated into a redefined change framework delivers highest quality business change in less time.

Register today and learn how Decision Modeling can help you make a difference in your organization.

** Eligible for PDUs, CDUs. **

Big data adoption has moved from experimental projects to mission-critical, enterprise-wide deployments that deliver new customer insights, competitive advantage, and business innovation.

According to IDC, the big data market is growing six times faster than the overall IT market.

However, the complexity of technologies like Hadoop and Spark is holding back big data deployments in the enterprise.

Many companies consider it too time-consuming, expensive, and resource-intensive to initiate and scale these implementations.

Enterprises need an “easy button” to accelerate the on-premises deployment of big data analytics using Hadoop, Spark, and related tools.

In this webcast, Kumar Sreekanti will show you how your organization can:

• Quickly set up a dev/test lab environment to get started with big data analytics.
• Reduce costs and deliver self-service agility, with a Big-Data-as-a-Service experience on-premises.
• Eliminate data duplication and decouple compute from storage for big data infrastructure.
• Leverage new infrastructure innovations — including container technology — to simplify and scale your big data analytics deployment.

Register today and learn about the pitfalls and challenges of traditional big data implementations, and the opportunity for a fundamentally new approach.
