Abstract:Cloud computing and big data are transforming the business operations in many enterprises. Until recently, it was commonly recognized that there were two distinct classes of enterprise applications: namely Systems of Record and Systems of Engagement. While Systems of Record are traditional enterprise systems that maintain core business data such as those related to transactions, user demographics, and pricing, Systems of Engagement leverage new mobile and social networking capabilities to support loose and ephemeral interactions across employees and customers. With the advent of cloud computing, it is possible to integrate Systems of Record and Systems of Engagement at an unprecedented scale and speed. Key business insight can be generated from such integration, which can then be exploited to transform the way enterprises conduct their business. This has led to a new class of emerging, high-value enterprise applications called Systems of Insight. In this talk, I will discuss several examples of Systems of Insight developed at IBM Research, including novel business solutions that make use of social analytics and telematics analytics. I will also present a common platform for System-of-Insight as a Service, which addresses some key challenges in managing Systems of Insight throughout the lifecycle of development, deployment, and runtime.
