Many business activities are based on rules that require accurate and consistent decisions. Even the most complex financial calculations are a series of rules requiring decisions that lead to another set of rules and decisions – until a final figure, action or recommendation is arrived at.
The variable paths through the rules and possible outcomes creates enormous complexity that is often extremely difficult, and expensive, to program using traditional software development techniques.
The IDIOM Decision Suite is extremely powerful. It enables you to define graphically even very complex decision chains. When you’ve validated the model, IDIOM automatically compiles the program code and documents the decision/calculation chain. If you need to change it just go back to the visual model, make the change and IDIOM will recompile the software.
IDIOM delivers three very significant benefits:
| • |
Business rules are defined and maintained in a environment specifically designed to manage rules. |
| • |
The rules are no longer entwined in the application software, reducing the maintenance of both the decision engine and the application. |
| • |
The rules engine can be changed immediately there is a change to a business rule. No more joining a lengthy queue for software maintenance. |
Using IDIOM we can replace any decision
based function being done outside of your enterprise system.
You will increase accuracy and substantially lower your business
risk. You will also speed up processing time and substantially
reduce rework.
