Question 1: Systems of Record (SoR). What are they?

Jasdeep Singh
Databases

George Gilbert
We've been building these for 50 years - they automate business processes and report on historical performance.

Dave Vellante
So we're talking payroll? transaction systems? Warehouses?

George Chow
@dvellante I think of them collectively as ERP

George Gilbert
original was airline reservations, then ERP/CRM...

Jen(Cohen)Cheplick
ERP, CRM, databases

John Furrier
How sophisticated are their analytics?

David Floyer
Transaction systems & systems of record are the heart of enterprise processes

George Gilbert
pretty basic - it's just about historical performance reporting - equivalent to steering a ship by looking backwards at its wake

Kirk Borne
@jscheplick Those 3 (ERP, CRM, databases) are best SoR examples, and yet they trick some firms into thinking they already have NextGen Analytics (Systems of Intelligence)

John Furrier
@KirkDBorne love that comment - the classic head fake

Jasdeep Singh
With all due respect, in my opinion sophistication lies in the way they run, reports and UI have become user friendly #bigdata

John Furrier
. @KirkDBorne many are getting fooled by recycled technologies passed as tranformational

Dave Vellante
@KirkDBorne @jscheplick - good point - we're not talking about just semantics are we?

John Furrier
@Jase_mtlngs915 I agree on the user friendly but being modern is another story..horizontally scalable? real time? low latency? dealing with semantic intelligence..etc

George Gilbert
Jasdeep - BI/reporting is more friendly, but it doesn't inform the consumer in real-time at the point of interaction - especially by anticipating their actions and then influencing them - kind of like ads work

Kirk Borne
Yes, there are many "new" features: semantics, machine learning, personalization, behavior analytics, real-time,...

Timo Elliott
isn't it usually SoR vs "system of engagement". Is "system of intelligence" different?

David Floyer
Transaction systems & systems of record are the heart of enterprise processes

Dave Vellante
@timoelliott it's a concept being put forth (first) by Geoff Moore and @ggilbert41 is re-defining Systems of Intell uses machine learning to anticipate, respond and affect outcomes

Kirk Borne
@timoelliott Yes, SoEngagement includes those #CEM #CX pieces, but SoIntelligence is predictive, prescriptive, cognitive

John Furrier
I love the systems of engagement bc that data is active and with context then it can be intelligence #SystemofIntelligence

George Gilbert
with context and with advanced analytics - like machine learning that turns data into predictive model - like Amazon recommendations

Kevin Petrie
@ggilbert41 Great point - recommendations, #NLP, other #machinelearning apps are becoming must-have feature for many enterprise offerings. We expect Amazon to make recommendations, customer service to email an auto-response, Facebook to tag our images

Dave Vellante
@KevinPetrieTech yes this idea of a personal assistant that anticipates my data needs #scary

George Gilbert
@KevinPetrieTech couldn't have said it better - but coming up with #machinelearning recommendations is going to involve big data for greatest accuracy and fast/streaming data for currency

Kirk Borne
@dvellante Check out this personal assistant concept (from 2004) ScheduleNanny: http://arxiv.org/abs...
