Demo: IBM Operational
Decision Manager v8

Automate and govern repeatable decisions

IBM Operational Decision Manager integrates business events and business rules to automate decisions across processes and applications. It improves the quality of transaction and process-related decisions that are made repeatedly, determining the appropriate course of action for each customer, partner and internal interaction.

IBM Operational Decision Manager built on the success of ILOG JRules consists of two component sets, which together form a complete platform for managing and executing business rules and business events.

IBM Decision Center provides an integrated repository and management components, allowing you to govern business rules and event-based decision logic.
IBM Decision Server provides the runtime components to automate decision logic, enabling the detection of business situations and precise response based on the context of the interaction.

IBM Decision Center

Delivers a configurable, non-technical rule language and capabilities, allowing you to maintain decision logic.
Provides comprehensive decision governance including role-based security, custom metadata, multi-branch release management, testing and simulation, and historical reporting.
Improves communication and collaboration between IT and business functions through a centralized decision management repository and shared governance controls.
Accelerates the decision process and maintenance lifecycle, and evolves based on new external and internal requirements.

IBM Decision Server

Allows you to monitor business networks to discover events and take action based on event data patterns.
Processes event data against hundreds or thousands of business rules to determine responses within front-end and back-end systems.
Delivers high-performance runtimes to support critical decision services for both event-driven and service-oriented architectures.
Provides a unified application development environment using Eclipse-based tools.
