We automate decisions for a reason

Increase productivity through improved adoption of decision management. Leverage open-source practice content, and awareness campaigns, as drivers to improve adoption of decision automation in digital transformation.

Who We Are

Our North Star is to accelerate the worldwide adoption of effective Decision Automation. Today, Decision Automation relieves the operational decision-making of humans at scale through discovery practices, governance, deployment, and execution of software. This software typically comprises both logical statements written as rules and AI. Our organization and working committees help others understand what this technology is and what it can do for them. While we have a broad view of vendors and the global market, our focus is on promoting the DMN standard to expand adoption.

Challenges

Many in the Decision Automation community understand the acute problems holding back adoption. At the cutting edge, there is often little awareness of how to combine AI/ML and rules effectively. We believe that the industry lacks a common representation and approach to decision automation and modeling, which would clarify both the basics and advanced use of the technology.

Practitioners often disagree on practices and struggle to articulate the business value, making it difficult to connect the dots between business needs and implementation. Vendors typically emphasize tooling and technology prematurely, without spending enough time on discovery and modeling. Consequently, project risk factors may be confused due to insufficient time spent where needed. Additionally, while there is a desire for more collaboration on problem-solving, the competitive landscape prevents widespread learning from specific solutions.

Business Value

Overall, Decision Automation improves margins (scale) and reduces risk at many levels. Making automation transparent is one of the most notable benefits reducing risks by making decision models more social. Time-to-value on a project is also improved by reducing cycle times, increasing accuracy, and identifying problems early through the implementation of the technology.

In the current global business climate, every organization must elevate its strategies to improve fairness, consistency, and personalized customer experiences. We understand that market conditions require adaptive strategies to prevent losses and seize opportunities across channels. For this reason, we believe Decision Automation is a fundamental growth strategy.

What We Do

We regularly engage with industry leaders, share our expertise, and promote awareness. We do this by establishing the optimal path for adopting Decision Automation with an emphasis on the DMN standard. We find inspiration by collaborating with practitioners, vendors, system integrators, and industry analysts and actively promote the industry’s successes and accomplishments. Ultimately, we apply our learnings when we directly engage with the OMG DMN committee.
