DecisionRules Academy Introduction

Benefits of a codeless solution

Many organizations use code-based rules. Thus, when any change is made to the logic or individual values such as insurance rates or seasonal sale discount code, a Business Description needs to be created by the development team who then implement the change in production. Such a change can take several days and requires a whole team of developers to implement it. But what if there was a way to transform your business logic into rules without having to use any code? Automate your processes with DecisionRules. Create, deploy and manage your Business Rules thanks to our user friendly UI.

Universal Use Cases

Rule types

There are several types of rules in DecisionRules, and each can be used to create a different type of decision. For simple decisions following an IF - ELSE logic you can use Decision Trees. For more complex logic use Decision Tables, where each row corresponds to some combination of condition and result.

While it is true that our business rule engine is low-code and does not require knowledge of programming languages, one type of rule we do offer is a Scripting Rule, whose content is JavaScript code. This is a rule that allows you to enrich your decision-making process.

Lastly, we also offer the Rule flow. With this rule, you can create an entire decision process or maybe a part of it that shares a common logic. In a simple editor, you can easily link individual rules together as they logically follow each other.

Delivery of new rules or changes using versioning

With versioning, you can work on or use multiple versions at the same time. While your current version is in production, you can be already working on new versions that include changes or fixes to your logic. You can change the content of all versions separately and test them independently.

DecisionRules Deployments Options

The easiest way to start using the DecisionRules application is by using the Public Cloud. This Software as a Service (SaaS) solution, with global coverage and low response time, is ready to use in 2 minutes. All you have to do is create an account to use it. You can also use Regional Clouds, where you get all the benefits of Public Cloud with the guarantee of data residency in the region.
