Abstract
Every business is drowning under the sheer volume of data. Business Managers are increasingly frustrated that the data they require to help them make critical decisions is scattered across many different systems and difficult to get in a timely manner. In many ways, a fundamental gap is emerging between IT provision and business requirements.
|
Semantic Technology promises to bridge this gap and is rapidly gaining interest from large enterprises. However, many organisations are still wrestling with the challenge of how to exploit it, and are questioning whether it really delivers business benefits. Is semantic technology worth the trouble?
Semantic Technology merely provides a conceptual model, and to enable this to deliver business benefit requires more – what we refer to as the Final Mile Challenge.
The Final Mile Challenge is all about putting semantic technology to work.
By combining semantic services with an external rules engine, a new class of application can be built that enables the right information to be brought together, at the right time, understood in context, interpreted and presented to business managers to help them make critical decisions.
This presentation will focus on a range of case studies that show how semantic technology has become a key enabler in conjunction with a rules engine to drive real business benefit, from the Integrated Justice market, through financial fraud and compliance to manufacturing and life sciences.
