What We Do
Decisions provides a rules-driven, no-code platform, enabling companies to drastically reduce their time to market for their applications. Decisions technology is deployed as the basis of multiple commercial applications in healthcare, life sciences, finance, logistics, and operations software. It is used directly by companies on almost every continent, ranging from mid-size companies to many Fortune 500 corporations. Decisions provides one no-code platform for all types of business processes. With our no-code visual designer you can deploy fast and empower business users to manage their own processes. There are thousands of features built-in, ready to drag and drop and you’re done! Our rules-driven automation allows you to adapt quickly to price changes, regulations, customer demands and more. We have seen technology evolve rapidly during the past decade, and the disruption of Covid-19 cannot be understated. Entire industries have been forced to reengineer how they get work done. The chaos caused by the pandemic has shown how ill-prepared many businesses are to adapt to sudden changes. For example, processing paperwork is difficult when employees are remote and paper forms are physically at the office. Without automation, these processes grind to a halt. Systems and processes that are inflexible and cannot scale break down when people change their behavior all at once. These are just some of the challenges presented by the global pandemic that are accelerating the adoption of automation and digital transformation. We remain committed to delivering an experience that gives more control and configuration ability to administrators. Specifically, allowing programmers to build things that can be configured by non-programmers in a way that is safe, visible and flexible. This challenge has driven us to create numerous technologies in use today at some of the world's largest and most innovative companies.
