Decision Rules

Overview

Decision Rules

Decision rules are normally very structured, highly repeatable, and most suitable for making tactical, operational decisions in transactional applications and business processes. Almost all of day-to-day B2C customer interactions are powered by decision rules. Industries in the business of placing orders, adjudicating claims, underwriting risks, originating loans, and processing payments all trend toward decision automation and adopt modern digital decisioning capabilities.
