As companies struggle with information systems that don't generate the returns they promised and with IT departments awash in maintenance projects and unused reports, Enterprise Decision Management or EDM is emerging as a discipline to address these, and other, issues.
James Taylor is widely recognized as a leading proponent of the EDM approach. Not only does James work with organizations to identify and bring to market advanced decision management solutions that will better solve their business needs, he also writes and speaks extensively on the subject. He is the co-founder of the only full service, vendor-neutral consulting company in the Enterprise Decision Management space - Smart (enough) Systems LLC. He has published a book - Smart (Enough) Systems - with Neil Raden, contributed chapters to other books, had many articles published, is often quoted and interviewed and has a number of positions as a result of his thought-leadership in this area.
James has experience in all aspects of software development including designing, developing, researching and marketing application development technology and platforms. He frequently presents at trade shows and conferences and writes a popular blog at http://www.smartenoughsystems.com as well as a second on ebizQ. He has an expert channel on the BI Network - Competing on Decisions. You can contact James by email.
