Creating and Managing Executable Decision Models with DecisionsFirst Modeler and OpenRules®
Watch the Webcast

Decision requirements models allow business analysts, architects and decision designers to describe the decision-making they need. When these models are combined with business-friendly representations of decision logic such as decision tables, non-technical domain experts can represent critical “know-how” accurately and precisely resulting in faster time to value and fewer errors. Add in the ability to navigate an existing implementation graphically, and these same users can find out when a change is required and where to make it. The combination of decision requirements models and executable decision models enables business analysts to specify, build, test and validate the decision making they need in their systems.
