You can have all the technical functionality in the world, but without an agile decision engine and strong analytics, it’s not likely to provide your customers with a good experience nor is it likely to yield high levels of performance for your company.

A decision management engine drives the processes a company uses to interact with its customers, its suppliers and its operations staff.

Good decision management engines will drive processes that mold mass amounts of customer interactions into business outcomes. The trick is, no process is perfect right off the bat. To make a process hum, it has to be constantly analyzed and tuned, ensuring it’s driving your business objectives and at the same time, providing a great customer experience.

Key Elements

You’ve got to have two key elements to be able to constantly analyze and tune your processes:

1. Solid business intelligence that is timely and granular enough to provide insights for optimization opportunities
2. The ability to make decisioning process modifications quickly and easily (aka agility)

Legacy systems running business applications usually miss the mark on both these requirements. Static, month-end reports aren’t adequate to drive timely or relevant insights. Furthermore, hard-coding is required to configure, test and deploy new processes, making modifications difficult and time consuming.

Lots of companies try to deal with this complexity by sourcing multiple business applications and piecing them together to try to achieve effective business intelligence and process agility. This approach usually proves to be costly, difficult to execute, nightmarish to maintain and often, adds so much complexity that it makes it impossible to achieve the desired results.
