The “one size fits all” era, where RDBMSs were used in nearly any data and processing context, seems to have come to an end.

We call out the hardware, the software, the applications, the information, and even the business processes, as we visualize the different layers of the enterprise. However, we stop just short of defining the enterprise stack fully; what is noticeable by its absence is the most important part of the enterprise: the people.

Banking and financial services companies were among the first to apply artificial intelligence (AI) in strategic applications. Initially, this took place in the mid- to late 1980s in the form of expert and knowledge-based systems for credit and loan approval and mortgage processing, and so on, and then in the early to mid-1990s, when neural network-based applications for credit and bank card fraud detection, and profitability management, began to be deployed.

In this Update, we examine some of the more temporal aspects of using the ADF activities as part of a systems development process. We begin by revisiting the ADF activity structure and, by choosing an example development process, examine how the activities that comprise that process exchange information. We shall then look at the viability of a typical development sprint timescale in being able to accommodate all the activities necessary for large, complex development involving business analysis.

Cutter Consortium is conducting a series of surveys on how organizations are adopting, or planning to adopt, artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. We also seek to identify important issues and other considerations they are encountering or foresee encountering in their efforts. Here in Part V, we look at findings pertaining to the industries and domains where organizations see AI having its most significant impact.
