The solution, recently selected by a large US financial institution,
helps companies improve their decision management processes. Leveraging
Sapiens' innovative architecture and The Decision Model, Sapiens will now
offer the first software solution to be certified as Business Decision
Maturity Model (BDMM) level 4 (www.kpiusa.com/index.php/BDMM.html).
Sapiens DECISION empowers large organizations to author and manage both
high volume and strategic business decisions, containing complex business
rules, across the enterprise without the intervention of IT. This will result
in higher levels of business agility with more transparent processes.
Consistent with BDMM level 4, the risk and cost of change are reduced,
resulting in a superior overall decision management experience, shorter times
to market and a reduction in the cost of managing in today's regulated
markets.
Using Sapiens DECISION, business rules are written in an
easily-understood format, using standard business terminology, and are
traceable from their sources. Factors impacting the process may be evaluated
and measured. Coupled with a stack of open and standard technology based on
J2EE, DECISION is suitable for an enterprise-level environment.
Sagi Schliesser, CTO of Sapiens International Corporation commented, "We
continuously seek to introduce innovative solutions to the market, and
leverage our experience in delivering large scale business solutions.
DECISION provides a unique value proposition as it was designed from the
business need to visually manage the organization's 'knowledge base', mapped
onto the operational systems, such as ERP, and allows potential changes to be
easily and transparently managed into best decisions. "
Larry Goldberg, Managing Partner of Knowledge Partners International, LLC
(KPI), and co-author of the book "The Decision Model: A Business Logic
Framework Linking Business and Technology" said, "Barbara von Halle, our
founder, and I are excited to see the innovative technology that is built
specifically to support The Decision Model and the enterprise scale of
Business Decision Management implicit at BDMM level 4. Business logic is what
drives the decisions in all businesses. Instead of trying to manage the logic
one-business-rule at a time, The Decision Model groups the rules into their
natural logical sets, creating a structure that makes the model so simple to
understand, communicate and manage. We have chosen to partner with Sapiens
for their ability to deliver a robust business decision management solution
that represents business logic to business users."
