IBM Operational Decision Manager: Details

Bring the power of no-code decision modeling directly to your business users. With IBM Operational Decision Manager (ODM), they can discover the decision space, describe how decisions are made, prototype and try them before going into production. The system helps ensure that decisions are written in everyday language your business experts use.

Business users must be confident that their decisions behave correctly and that any update does not break the overall business logic. Testing and simulation capabilities help them validate the business logic against well-defined usage scenarios and key performance indicators (KPIs).

IBM Operational Decision Manager is available on Cloud and in a Cloud Express version. The Express version is designed for organizations that need less complex, non-mission-critical applications with lower transaction volumes. With the Express version, you get a pre-configured development environment that can be used for development, test or production. You can also track monthly usage for decisions and managed artifacts in order to manage compliance against entitlement.

The IBM Operational Decision Manager interfaces enable you to quickly author, develop and test decision models. You can manage your updates using a security-rich, controlled and trackable built-in process. Update your rules and predict their impact on KPIs and then deploy your decisions using multiple environments, such as test, pre-production and production.

In addition to running decision at scale across many applications, IBM Operational Decision Manager enables virtually anyone to participate in authoring, updating, deploying and managing the rules. Roles and permissions can be defined so that users work on tasks they are authorized to complete. This adds agility to your business to help you capture new opportunities.

With IBM Operational Decision Manager you can scale business decisions using its governance and change management capabilities.
