InterACT - A Summary

Well I think we are done blogging from InterACT so I thought I would write a quick summary. There were a ton of good sessions and lots of interesting discussions so the links below represent just a tiny fraction of what went on. My key takeaways were:

• Advanced decisioning is not just for financial services any more - insurance, healthcare, telco, CRM, marketing and more are adopting it
• The combination of data analysis and human expertise is a powerful one - whether you are combining the two in building new analytic models or by combining analytic models themselves with business rules
• Empowering the people who understand the business from a strategic level to impact decisions taken at the operational level is key
• There is a tremendous ROI from improving high volume decisions just a little
• As Fair Isaac's head of R&D said, "we are just getting started"
