Decision management and business rules management systems are the ideal platform for an agile and cost-effective compliance approach. In regulated industries like financial services, leading companies are building compliance into every process and system with consistency and transparency across the entire organization and with the agility to meet ever more challenging deadlines. Companies that fail to do so incur huge costs with manual checks and balances and risk significant fines.
In this webinar James Taylor, CEO of Decision Management Solutions and Jan Purchase, Director and Founder of Investment Banking Specialists Lux Magi, share know-how and best practices from their extensive experience of helping clients implement decision management and business rules management systems to conquer complexity, improve agility, lower costs and measure ongoing effectiveness in financial compliance.
The webinar includes illustrations of how the decision management approach has been applied in compliance projects and a walkthrough of real decision model from one of these.
Establishing a shared understanding of the business problem across business, IT and analytics teams is critical for successful predictive analytics projects. Recently decision modeling has begun to be adopted as a way to specify business requirements for predictive analytics projects. This session will introduce decision modeling and describe how it helps predictive analytics practitioners. The value of the technique will be illustrated with both experience working with real-world projects and of using the approach to teach students of analytics.
As businesses have an increasing obligation to demonstrate compliance with regulations there is a need for a business architecture view that not only tracks regulations impact but also connects seamlessly to diverse, distributed implementations in automated systems and manual procedures. The Decision Model Notation (DMN) has been used to create a decision architecture for regulatory compliance at a leading global financial organization. This Regulatory Architecture includes business decisions impacted by a variety of global financial regulations – the Dodd Frank Act, in particular. This business architecture has been modeled in the form of decision requirement models and aligned with business process and business organization architectures. Presented by Gagan Saxena of Decision Management Solutions at the Building Business Capability Conference (BBCCon) 2015
Leading organizations today are looking to scale their advanced analytics capabilities, especially data mining and predictive analytics, to improve business performance, reduce fraud and improve customer responsiveness. However traditional analytic project approaches are hard to scale and difficult to implement in the real-time environment required in modern enterprise architectures.
In this webinar recording, James Taylor, CEO of Decision Management Solutions and Claye Greene, Managing Director of Government Solutions Provider TechBlue share learnings and best practices from their extensive experience helping clients modernize their legacy systems with the targeted decision management approach. You will learn why you don’t need to modernize the whole application, why focusing on business rules is not enough; decision management is the essential ingredient and how to use decision modeling to identify and scope targeted legacy modernization efforts.
PASS Business Analytics 2015 - Most organizations lack an approach that lets them specify their requirements for BI or for analytics more broadly. Their ability to find opportunities for, and successfully use, more advanced analytics is limited. In this session, James Taylor will introduce decision modeling with DMN, a new standards-based approach to modeling decisions. He will introduce the core concepts of the approach and show how it can be used to drive more effective requirements for BI, dashboard and analytic projects. Attendees will learn how to begin with the decision in mind, defining their BI requirements in terms of the decision-making they need to improve.

Attendees will learn how to begin with the decision in mind, defining their BI requirements in terms of the decision-making they need to improve.
Business analysts know that modeling business processes, rather than writing about them, defines them more accurately. Business process models make it easier to validate requirements, easier to see opportunities for improvement and easier to manage the process once it is implemented. Replacing traditional specifications with logical business process models based on standard notations like BPMN improves requirements and increases the likelihood of project success.
Yet over-complex processes are common. Complex process models make it harder to engage business owners and reduce the manageability of implementations. One of the prime causes of over-complex processes is the inclusion of decision-making in process designs. Business analysts that identify the decisions in their processes and model them separately – not part of the process but supporting it – find they can simplify process designs, increase agility and bring business users and IT into better alignment. With the publication of a new standard notation - OMG's Decision Model and Notation - and the inclusion of decision modeling in the BABOK, it's time for business analysts to improve their process models by modeling decisions.
Key learning points:
Decisions are central to straight through processing, process innovation and process effectiveness.
Process models obscure decision-making and become over-complex when it is embedded
A standards-based approach to decision modeling is a key technique for process analysts
One of the most important steps in a predictive analytic effort is correctly framing the problem a way that creates a shared understanding of the business problem across business, IT and analytics teams. A decision requirements model makes it clear how to best leverage analytics. Watch the webinar recording at http://decisionmanagement.omnovia.com/archives/223762
Learn how to innovate risk management and customer processes with decision and process management, from leading experts Roger Burlton and James Taylor.
If you are kicking off your first BRMS project, don’t start by gathering the rules! Often teams will be advised to begin their project by gathering all the relevant rules, in a natural language or rulebook approach.
But these rules-first approaches address issues that don’t exist with modern BRMS technology, resulting in redundant and counter-productive efforts.
A decisions-first, decision modeling approach using the Decision Model Notation (DMN) standard is the best practice for business rules projects when implementing a modern BRMS.
In this recording of our live webinar, you will learn why building a decision model that is linked to the business context (metrics, processes, logical data structures) and then implementing this directly in a linked BRMS is faster and cheaper while resulting in more accurate rules, more business engagement and better value realized.
Decision Modeling is a new Technique in v3 of the BABOK(r) Guide. It has also become a key element of the Business Intelligence and Business Process Management Perspectives. At the June 2014 IIBA Bay Area Event, James Taylor presents Decision Modeling as a technique (following the new Decision Model and Notation standard), shows how modeling decisions improves business analysis and requirements specification, and discusses the role of decision modeling in business process, business rules, business intelligence and analytic projects.
Get deployed! Many Analytics Teams have experience with building what seems like a great model–valid, predictive, powerful–only to see disappointing or even no business impact. Some models are not deployed, or take so long to deploy their accuracy is lost. Even deployed models are often not used effectively.
What can you do? Learn the 5 questions to ask before deploying your model.

Many organizations' agility and responsiveness is hamstrung by their legacy systems. Replacing them wholesale is impossible but the constraint they impose on the business is unacceptable. In this session James Taylor, CEO of Decision Management Solutions, will show how you can use Decision Management and business rules to avoid replacing the whole application while still maximizing agility and improving business alignment.
What you will learn:
How decision components are often the highest change, most difficult to maintain pieces of legacy applications
How Decision Management builds on SOA by externalizing decisions from legacy systems
How a business rules management system dramatically decreases maintenance costs
Why modernizing this way improves business alignment and agility

A decision modeling approach using DMN is the best practice for for scaling BRMS. Decision modeling address three key challenges of a existing BRMS program, improving traceability, sustaining business engagement and maximizing re-use while minimizing duplication.
DMN is a great standard and we’ve both achieve considerable successes with it: its help to improve the transparency, accuracy and agility of many business decisions and helped us to deliver better decisions and decision services to our clients. However, like any released product, DMN 1.1 can benefit from usage suggested refinements.
Successful digital programs extend their Digital Business Platforms with 3 critical elements: decision modeling, predictive analytics and business rules technology. Coordinating these technologies into a virtual decision hub. Decision Management automates and improves every digital interaction and delivers agile, data-driven, real-time outcomes.

Our business partner and insurance operations expert, Rob Berg, will show you how he helped a major insurance company reducing costs and cycle time using Trisotech Digital Enterprise Suite through process simulation.
In this webinar, analysts, architects and other subject matter experts will learn how to:
- Generate defensible data to make clear and objective decisions
- Accurately model the way things are and the way you would like them to be
- Apply real-life data to process models
- Bring a static model to life by simulating the impact of process changes
Get the business understanding right! Analytics Teams know that one of their biggest challenges is effective communication and collaboration with their business partners. Projects are plagued with too many iterations to get to a solution, too many detours responding to unfocused requests, and too often the final model results in a positive analytic result that can’t demonstrate business value.
What can you do? Analytics and decision modeling expert James Taylor of Decision Management Solutions outlines six questions to ask your business partner before you start modeling and shows you why decision modeling is the best approach to building this shared understanding.
Mainframe Assessment with Modern Systems' Portfolio Analysis ServicesModern Systems
Legacy systems have passed through many hands over many years, often without proper documentation of features or functional relationships. The most common issue with modernizing a system that very few people understand is that planning for and understanding the breadth and potential pitfalls of a project is virtually impossible without a lot of help. Undergoing a mainframe assessment using Modern Systems' Portfolio Analysis services can significantly reduce risk, cost, and project timelines.
A 2013 survey of IT leaders in the US insurance industry by Gartner reflects just how difficult planning modernizations can be.
- Only 42% of respondents said their modernization projects were completed within originally planned budget.
- Just 34% of the modernization attempts covered the originally planned scope, leaving a whopping 66% of these firms victims of dreaded and out of control scope creep.
- What’s worse, only 18% of respondents completed these projects within their originally planned timeframe.
In other words, modernization is a brutal undertaking. In order to develop well-designed applications from legacy environments, powerful tools and expertise are required to analyze the legacy system and aid in generating new programs that are architecturally sound and utilize modern design methods.
The data and reports gathered in a Modern Systems Portfolio Analysis mainframe assessment reduce risk by ensuring all technical inventory and use cases are documented and accounted for. It also reveals potential bumps in the road to modernization before they have a chance to derail a project, so mitigation plans can be established up front.
This mainframe assessment work is automated and precise, saving months of time, thousands of dollars in man hours- and ensures no critical requirements or functionality are left out of the target state design. This data also impacts regression testing, making it more accurate and efficient- reducing time to target.
In addition to the risk, cost, and time reduction, customers who undergo a Modern Systems mainframe assessment are able to reduce the scope of their modernization project by an average of 40%.
Here’s how it works:
First, Modern Systems documents the legacy environment's current state and any important dependencies or conditions such as external interfaces, data volumes, batch dependencies, etc.
From there, Modern Systems resources develop the Final Application Inventory package, containing analysis on unused code, Resource Definition and Usage, easy-to-understand visual diagrams laying out the legacy environment, highlighted areas of concentration, and much more.
Finally, the Modern Systems team holds a strategic workshop with your project stakeholders to discuss our findings, provide Optimum Solution Recommendations for areas of concentration, and to map out an informed modernization strategy and roadmap, backed by a soup-to-nuts mainframe assessment and over 3 decades of expe
One of the prime causes of complex business processes is the inclusion of decision-making in process designs. Organizations that identify the decisions in their processes and manage them as peers – not part of the process but supporting it – find they can simplify process designs, increase agility and bring business users and IT into better alignment.
This webinar will build on real case studies to show you how keeping decisioning and process entangled creates complexity, how to find decisions in your complex processes and how Decision Management delivers simpler, more manageable processes.

The resulting model supports "Capability at the Core, and Agility at the Edge."
Delivering Enterprise Business Solutions in the Era of Cloud ComputingEric Shupps
As cloud computing proliferates throughout the enterprise, IT organizations are becoming smaller, more nimble service organizations focused less on centralized systems management and more on providing real-time support to business users across a myriad of technologies. This trend is reversing the traditional reliance upon IT to deliver business process applications, making business users themselves responsible for the specification, design and even development of their own solutions. Discover how this shifting landscape can impact your business, explore the tools and techniques available to capitalize on it, and learn the benefits of empowering end users to create dynamic no-code solutions.
Decision requirements models allow business analysts, architects and decision designers to describe the decision-making they need. When these models are combined with business-friendly business rules representations and representations of decision logic such as decision tables, non-technical domain experts can represent critical “know-how” accurately and precisely resulting in faster time to value and fewer errors. Add in the ability to navigate an existing implementation graphically, and these same users can find out when a change is required and where to make it. The combination of decision requirements models and business rules or executable decision models is a powerful capability.

Decision Modeling for IIBA Business Analysts using DMN - Denis GagneDenis Gagné
Business analysis often involves documenting and understanding how organizations make critical operational decisions. This has traditionally been a complex process, often involving multiple spreadsheets and different approaches to describing business rules. But now there is a new approach, based on a standard modeling language - Decision Model and Notation (DMN). Join our distinguished speakers from Trisotech and Red Hat as we introduce and explore decision modeling using DMN.
You will learn:
• The key constructs and semantics of DMN
• How to represent business decision logic, from simple to complex, in DMN
• How to go beyond the model, to create decision services that automate business decisions
You'll come away with a better understanding of how DMN can help you model and automate decisions, and of the value it can bring to your organization.

Does your Rules Consultant think execution matters more than management? That's “old school” thinking. Find out if your Rules Consultant is providing your business with real value by watching this webinar.
Join Decision Management Solutions, Velocity Business Services and Datarobot as we discuss the importance of operational decisions, industrialized predictive analytics and business learning in creating a predictive enterprise.
Organizations are increasingly investing in data analytics to improve decision-making. Dashboards, self-service BI, data mining, predictive analytics, machine learning and cognitive technologies are being evaluated, deployed and used as organizations push to adopt data-driven decision-making. Effectively using these analytic technologies requires a disciplined focus on better decisions. Some organizations are using decision modeling, and the DMN standard, to achieve analytic excellence.
To succeed, an analytics or data science team must effectively engage with business experts who are often inexperienced with advanced analytics, machine learning and data science. They need a framework for connecting business problems to possible analytics solutions and operationalizing results. Decision modeling brings clarity to analytics projects, linking analytics solutions to business problems to deliver value.
Predictive analytics are increasingly a must-have competitive tool. A well-defined workflow and effective decision modeling approach ensures that the right predictive analytic models get built and deployed.

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?

Globus Compute wth IRI Workflows - GlobusWorld 2024Globus
As part of the DOE Integrated Research Infrastructure (IRI) program, NERSC at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and ALCF at Argonne National Lab are working closely with General Atomics on accelerating the computing requirements of the DIII-D experiment. As part of the work the team is investigating ways to speedup the time to solution for many different parts of the DIII-D workflow including how they run jobs on HPC systems. One of these routes is looking at Globus Compute as a way to replace the current method for managing tasks and we describe a brief proof of concept showing how Globus Compute could help to schedule jobs and be a tool to connect compute at different facilities.
How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.
First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.
