pour une présentation intitulée Case Management in the Age of Data-driven Insights and Cognitive Services.

La conférence aura lieu à 10h dans la salle C06 du campus d’Évry de Télécom SudParis, et est ouverte à tous.

Abstract:

As economies undergo significant structural change, digital strategies and innovation must provide industries across the spectrum with tools to create a competitive edge and build more value into their services. With the advent of widely available data capture and management technologies, coupled with intensifying global competition, fluid business and social requirements, organizations are rapidly shifting to data-fication of their processes. Accordingly, they are embracing the radical changes necessary for increased productivity, added value and insights.

However, while advances in big data analytics enable tremendous automation and scalability opportunities, new productivity and usability challenge have also emerged. A commonly overlooked limitation of current systems is that they do not provide effective integration of analytics and end user workspace environments (e.g., investigators, analysts user productivity tools). We discuss critical challenges
in the effective integration of cognitive services and end user- oriented case management technologies. We discuss synergies between cognitive services, data curation, quality control and case management as step forward to empower end users to effectivel use big data technologies, while share and collaborate on the fly, in order to generate and evolve insights.
