Workshop: Data Driven Decision Making with Corticon
Staying competitive means committing to data-driven decision making. Enterprise data is ubiquitous, complex, unstructured, fast-moving and resides in multiple IT systems. Businesses of all sizes are challenged to combine these sources of data, make sure it is properly understood and prepared to use it for driving daily operational decision-making. In this hands-on Progress Corticon workshop, we will guide you through the subject matter expert (SME) journey of:
1. Creating a vocabulary representing your data
2. Mapping it to one or multiple data sources to read and write rule evaluation results back
3. Authoring the business rules to drive these data driven operational decisions
4. Setting up parameterized, scheduled batches in the high-performance Corticon batch environment using the Corticon web console or REST API tools to enable processing of potentially millions of transactions in record time
