Decisions is industry-agnostic, powering automation and intelligent decisioning across complex operations in nearly any sector—from finance and insurance to healthcare, government, education, manufacturing, retail, and beyond.

Decisions is a low-code platform with strong no-code capabilities. Most rules, workflows, and forms can be built using a drag-and-drop interface—no coding required—making it easy for business users to create and manage logic without waiting on IT.

At the same time, Decisions offers the depth and extensibility developers need to handle more complex scenarios, such as custom integrations or advanced data handling. This balance means organizations can empower business teams to move quickly while giving IT full control over security, performance, and scalability.

Both. Decisions is built for collaboration between business users and developers.

Business users can design, update, and manage rules and workflows using intuitive, no-code tools—giving them direct control over the logic they know best. Developers and IT teams use the platform’s low-code environment to build more advanced solutions, integrate with other systems, and ensure security, scalability, and governance.

Yes, Decisions can be used to build full applications—not just automate processes.

The platform includes everything needed to create end-to-end solutions: workflows, business rules, forms, dashboards, data models, integrations, and user management. Whether you’re enhancing an existing system or building a new application from the ground up, Decisions gives you the tools to design, execute, and manage the entire experience—all in one low-code environment.

Many organizations also use Decisions as a powerful logic and orchestration layer alongside their existing systems, avoiding the need to rebuild from scratch.

Decisions makes it easy to automate even the most complex processes by combining visual workflow design, a powerful rules engine, and seamless system integration in one platform.

You can map out end-to-end processes using drag-and-drop tools, embed rules to drive decisions at every step, and connect to any internal or external system—all without writing custom code.

Decisions stands out for putting its rules engine at the center—not as an add-on. While other platforms offer automation, Decisions is uniquely built to manage complex logic, dynamic decisioning, and end-to-end processes in a single environment.

Unlike platforms that rely on predefined models or require developers for changes, Decisions allows business users to create and update rules and workflows through a visual interface—while still giving IT full control over performance, integrations, and security.

Rules can be tested, versioned, simulated, and updated in real time. And because Decisions works alongside existing systems—without requiring a full rip-and-replace—it’s ideal for organizations that need agility without complexity.

Platform & Features

Decisions includes six key components that work together to automate complex processes:

  • Workflow Designer – Visually build end-to-end processes with drag-and-drop tools.
  • Rules Engine – Create and manage business logic without code using decision tables, rule sets, and more.
  • Forms & UI – Design dynamic, data-driven forms and user interfaces.
  • Integrations – Connect to any system via APIs, files, databases, or message queues.
  • Data Management – Define and access structured data without duplication.
  • Governance & Monitoring – Control access, track changes, and monitor performance in real time.

Decisions supports a wide range of workflows—from simple approvals to highly complex, multi-system processes. You can build:

Yes—Decisions is designed for reusability. You can build rules, workflows, forms, data structures, and integrations as modular components and reuse them across multiple projects, applications, or teams.

This modular approach reduces development time, ensures consistency, and makes updates easier—change a shared component once, and it can apply everywhere it’s used (with version control). It’s ideal for organizations managing large-scale or evolving processes.

Decisions makes it easy to manage exceptions and involve people in automated processes when needed. You can design workflows that automatically detect errors, route issues for review, or trigger escalation paths based on business rules.

For human-in-the-loop tasks, the platform provides built-in tools to assign tasks, collect approvals, or request input—complete with role-based permissions, due dates, and notifications. Users can interact through dynamic forms, dashboards, or email, and the process resumes automatically once input is received.

Yes—Decisions combines its low-code rules engine with AI capabilities, allowing you to automate complex tasks, make smarter decisions, and scale intelligently, without complex infrastructure.
