IDIOM - deploying the decisions you know how to make
From its inception in 2001, IDIOM has pioneered the development and use of decision automation concepts, tools, and approaches to deliver more cost effective and agile business operations, fast accurate zero touch processing, and improved strategic alignment for customers worldwide in finance, insurance, health administration, telecommunications, logistics, and national and local government.
IDIOM has applied it's "decision oriented" tools and approaches to projects worldwide for customers in finance and insurance, health administration, national and local government, telecoms and logistics.
IDIOM continually leverages this 'hands-on' experience to develop and refine its industry leading, purpose built decision automation tool - "Idiom Decision Manager". Idiom Decision Manager is a proven, pragmatic and cost effective tool for capturing, managing and deploying automated business decisions.
Since 2004, IDIOM has also been a regular speaker at the EuroBizRules and International Business Rules Forums, championing "decisioning" as a well defined, conceptually sound and practical alternative to the loosely bound collection of disciplines and approaches that is 'business rules'. With the introduction in 2008 of the Enterprise Decision Management Summit alongside the Business Rules Forum, the Forum is now also recognizing the importance of the decisioning concept to the development of intelligent systems.
IDIOM was accredited to the Gartner 'Business Rules Engine' Magic Quadrant in 2005.
The IDIOM icon is usually partnered with the slogan 'Business Rules for Business People'. This reflects IDIOM's refrain that the automation of decision making is the popular, non-technical understanding of the phrase 'business rules', and is intended to differentiate IDIOM from technology inclined competitors who tout inference engines and other complex technologies that are targeted at a technical audience.
Idiom's seminal paper "Decisioning - a new approach to systems development", originally published in the January 2007 Business Rules Journal, provides a clear, business oriented explanation of the decisioning fundamentals. It defines and describes decisioning in detail, and introduces the decision model as the pre-eminent computer executable manifestation of corporate policy.
Most recently, IDIOM has extended the ground breaking decisioning concept to embrace 'interactive decisioning', and introduced further practical, decision based tools as a result - these are Idiom Forms and IQ Forms.
