Several recent projects have combined decision modeling and the Decision Model and Notation (DMN) standard with a Business Rules Management System.  The use of decision modeling as the core requirements modeling technique at the start of these projects has resulted in a reinvention of how BRMS projects work. Using a DMN decision model to structure the business rules being implemented in the BRMS results in simpler, easier to manage business rules with less duplication. Decision modeling can be applied iteratively, supporting an agile approach and playing to the adaptability of a modern BRMS. The use of a decision model also fundamentally changes how decision outcomes can be analyzed, making continuous improvement a reality. And for organizations considering analytic and cognitive technology to complement their BRMS, decision models provide a coherent implementation framework.

Illustrated with real-world experience from Asia and North America in customer next best action, compliance, claims processing and authorization use cases, this presentation will show you how to reinvent your BRMS implementation approach and maximize the value of your BRMS investment.

Learning Objectives:

• Introduce the basics of Decision Modeling with DMN
• Show how decision modeling structures business rules in a BRMS
• Explain role of decision modeling in continuous improvement
• Show how decision models support agile BRMS implementation
• Show how decision models position analytics and cognitive technology for success
