A stateless business rules management system that is easy to use and straightforward to understand
We depend on IBM Operational Decision Manager (ODM) for a number of different applications and scenarios. A variety of applications where static/stateless rules, as well as decision tables, are required have been implemented using this technology. In addition to rule applications and decision services, there are rule sets, rulesets, and decision tables that may be created and configured by the company, and these are provided to applications via the usage of REST APIs.
- Excellent stability and performance, as well as the possibility to deploy more quickly.
- Simple but effective web-based user interface that enables us to make direct updates to our policies or rules.
- Effective rule Execution Server, which allows us to assess the rules and their performance
- After the rules are delivered, business users can make changes and keep them up to date without having to know a lot about technology.
- Some of our needs lead to a new package for the product. It would be great if it could be changed like how the governance framework can be changed.
- It is not really Cloud Native, and not all features and functionalities are accessible across deployment platforms.
- There should be further support for developing models using the decision modeling notation (DMN). Businesses must be able to model their knowledge, and DMN provides a common method to do so.

IBM ODM VS others
The use of IBM ODM that is part of IBM Cloud Pak for automation servicing as a rules engine for IBM BPM to handle the rules of the workflow easily by the business user which makes it quicker for businesses to change the rules without any need for coding skills.
- Rules controlled by business user
- Formulas and if conditions
- Simulation
- Reports
- Dashboard
- AI
IBM Operational Decision Manager (ODM) is used for several use cases. It is used on multiple applications where static/stateless rules are needed as well as decision tables. There are rule applications and decision services that have rules, rulesets and decision tables that the business can create and set up and they are exposed to applications through the use of REST API.
- Provides users ability to define business objects and generates an execution object model behind the scenes so they don't have to worry about it.
- It provides an English like rule language to define the rules.
- It provides a Rule designer, an eclipse based IDE for technical users to create projects to have a decision service, rules, rulesets, etc, test it and deploy it on the server. You can use it on a local server or on a server environment to the RES runtime. It provides a context map that tells you what to do next and click on the icon or link to take you there and helps you finish the task. It is intuitive and user friendly.
- It provides a Business console that can be used by non technical users or business users to view, edit and deploy the rules on the RES. They can also create versions and save it in the decision center.
- It provides a way for users to define vocabulary so that the rules can use a user-friendly text instead of names of entity defined in the business object model.
- There is some confusion for users as they have many different tools and consoles to use and write/edit rules. There is the rule designer, an enterprise console, a business console, etc and there is overlapping functionality between the consoles.
- There needs to be support added for creating models using the decision modeling notation (DMN). Businesses need to be able to represent the knowledge using a model and DMN is a standard way of representing the information.
- Also to be able to import and export models that have been created using DMN. There are tools that companies use to create DMN models and represent the business domain and logic. This tool needs to be able to import those models and provide execution runtime for the same.
