This document is a front cover and table of contents for a book published by IBM about using IBM's Operational Decision Manager Advanced and predictive analytics to create systems of insight for digital transformation. It introduces key concepts around decision making, decision automation, and systems of insight. It also provides an overview of the types of solutions discussed in the book, including real-time, retroactive, and proactive solutions using event-driven processing, predictive analytics, and other techniques.
The document discusses hybrid clouds, which integrate traditional IT with a combination of public, private, or managed cloud services. A hybrid cloud provides a virtual computing environment that combines services from various environments to deliver flexibility and the right service levels. Key connection points that enable a hybrid cloud include integration, data localization, operational visibility and management, security services, application portability, and management/orchestration. The hybrid cloud allows companies to leverage the best cloud services for their needs and workloads.

Stephen King recalls how writing helped him get through a sickly childhood year spent mostly bedridden. He read voraciously, from comic books to novels, and was inspired by his mother to start writing his own stories after she praised one he had copied from a comic. His first original story featured magical animals helping children and was well-received by his mother, who encouraged further writing. King earned his first money from writing by selling four additional stories about the characters to his mother's sisters.
