Decision management

Updated on May 17, 2024

Make real-time decisions among thousands of potential choices by using decision management supported by machine learning.

Decision management features

With decision management, you can enhance your applications to help you predict customer behavior, optimize business processes, analyze natural language, and make informed decisions to better meet your customers' needs and achieve positive business outcomes.

The following features represent the decision management capability:

Decision strategy
Create comprehensive decision strategies to improve customer experience in every channel and deploy intelligent processes based on real-time, actionable insight into operational and behavioral data.
Event strategy
Configure your application to detect meaningful patterns in the real-time flow of events and to react to them in a timely manner.
Data sets
Configure the data sources for storing your customer and analytical data. Data sets define collections of records and the means to write and read the data used in your decision strategies.
Data flows
Ingest, process, and move data from one or more sources to one or more destinations by creating data flows, which are scalable and resilient data pipelines.
Adaptive analytics
Predict customer behavior by using self-learning models. Use adaptive models in your decision strategies to increase the relevance of decisions.
Predictive analytics
Address your customers' needs by predicting customer behavior and business events. For example, you can determine the likelihood of customer churn, or chances of successful case completion.
Natural language processing
Effortlessly analyze and extract meaningful information from large volumes of text with the use of text analytics. Based on your findings, you can further improve business performance and customer experience.

Decision management products

Decision management is a Pega Platform capability. You can apply the decision management capability to your domain through licensing various Pega products.

Pega Process AI

The Pega Process AI offering uses artificial intelligence and decision management features to create self-optimizing business processes. In Case Designer, you can use predictive models anywhere in a case to predict various case outcomes and route work based on predictions. For example, you can use AI to distinguish between complex and regular insurance claims, and route the regular claims for straight-through processing and the complex claims to experienced employees. For more information, see Introducing Pega Process AI and Pega Process AI.

Note:

Although you can build a deterministic decision-making logic into an application in Pega Platform with such functionality as decision tables, a standard Pega Platform license does not cover the use of the underlying decision management features, such as decision strategies, event strategies, or Prediction Studio.
