I recently presented at the EMC Momentum Conference in Sydney with my good friend and colleague David Le Strat on the intersection of Big Data and Case Management.  After flying nearly half-way around the world, it was exciting for us to engage in a dialogue that went beyond the much publicized market hype and was instead focused on real use-cases and navigating through potential challenges.  It was a conversation that I had the good fortune to continue with Bill Dawes, Editor of Image and Data Manager Magazine after the session.
