1) What are some classic business DSS?

by Dan Power
Editor, DSSResources.com 

A DSS classic is an early and lasting example of using technology to 
support decision making. Decision support system (DSS) classic examples 
fall in 5 broad categories, communications, data, document, knowledge 
and model-driven systems. Each of these categories include DSS with 
diverse purposes, varying targeted users and a variety of enabling 
technologies. Examining classic examples can help clarify the variety of 
DSSs that have been built and used in organizations in the past 40 years. 
Ten example DSS related to business decision-making are briefly described: 
AAIMS, Advanced Scout, CATD, DELTA, Flagstar LIVE, GADS, GroupSystems, 
OPM, PMS and PROJECTOR.
