Overview

Decisioning platforms have been around for a while, but have traditionally been the domain of large corporations due to the complexity and cost of implementation and maintenance of these solutions. The ability to execute sophiticated automated decisioning has given these large corporations a significant competitive advantage over smaller companies that could not afford these software packages. With the advent of the latest internet technologies, the playing field has been leveled. It is now possible to deliver the sophisticated automated decisioning on your desktop without requiring anything but a standard web-browser.

Automated Decisioning

Automated decision making invariably follows the sequence of steps shown below: Retrieving of relevant data from one or more data sources, Manipulation of the retrieved data such that the raw data can be used effectively, Execution of decision logic based on the data, and Delivery of the decision to a fulfillment system that makes the decision happen. These decisions are normally effectively expressed as decision workflows.  A full featured decisioning platform allows the business user to design such workflows and to execute the workflows in a production environment.

The Platform

Decision Services' platform puts the full power of sophisticated decision making in the hands of anyone with a web browser.  The interface allows you to design a decision workflow that: connects to any of the multitude of data sources that are available on the Internet,  transforms the raw data in many ways, implements decision logic, and delivers the decision to any accessible downstream fulfillment system. The interface then lets you schedule the execution of the workflow on the server cloud owned and operated by Decision Services.
