Red Hat Unveils Next Generation Decision Management Offering
Red Hat Decision Manager 7 helps organizations automate business
decisions for more efficient operations and accurate outcomes
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE:RHT), the world’s leading provider of open source
solutions, today introduced Red Hat Decision Manager 7, a decision
management platform that simplifies the development and deployment of
rules-based applications and services. Red Hat Decision Manager 7 is the
next generation of the company’s business rules management offering, Red
Hat JBoss BRMS, and is designed to enable organizations to quickly build
applications that automate business decisions.
Business processes play an important role in helping organizations to
improve efficiency and reduce workloads, and at the heart of every
business process are business rules. Automating these processes can lead
to more efficient operations and more accurate outcomes--particularly
for complex or repetitive tasks--and ultimately help organizations
better respond to changing market conditions and business needs.
Low-code development tools such as Red Hat Decision Manager enable
business users to take a more active role in application development,
and by fostering greater collaboration between business and IT
stakeholders, can accelerate the application development process.
According to industry analyst firm IDC, non-traditional developers are
expected to build 20 percent of business applications and 30 percent of
new application features by 2021.1
Red Hat Decision Manager 7 delivers an improved user experience and a
more robust set of tools specifically designed to enable business users
and citizen developers to directly modify business logic, which can help
IT re-prioritize resources to support other tasks. Feature highlights
include support for the direct execution of models expressed in Decision
Model and Notation (DMN); redesigned decision tables and a new decision
table editor; and an improved data modeller.
Built for both traditional and cloud-native applications, the offering
can be used to create rules-based decision and planning microservices
that can be deployed on-premise within a customer's datacenter, or as
containerized services on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. Red Hat
OpenShift enables customers to enhance business value and accelerate
digital innovation for their process-driven applications using DevOps
capabilities such as automated testing and continuous integration and
delivery (CI/CD), and to govern them using practices designed to provide
greater security, scalability and interoperability.
Availability
Red Hat Decision Manager is available for download by members of the Red
Hat Developers community. Customers can get the latest updates from
the Red
Hat Customer Portal.

Mike Piech, vice president and general manager, Middleware, Red Hat
“The
notion of low-code development is less about eliminating code or cutting
traditional programmers out of the application development process, and
more about helping business and IT users to do what they need to do
quickly and efficiently, and in a complementary manner. Ultimately, what
low-code tools should offer--and what we have built with Red Hat
Decision Manager--is not a platform geared toward one or the other, but
rather a rich and tightly integrated feature set designed to provide a
better user experience regardless of whether you are a business analyst
or hard-core developer.”
Vipul Kashyap, director, Clinical Information Systems and Enterprise
Information Architect, Northwell Health
“Red Hat Decision
Manager plays an important role in Northwell’s digital business strategy
and has enabled us to accelerate the development of core healthcare
applications, including the rapid development of configurable, reusable
functionality for identifying patients for enrollment into care
management programs, as well as the development of Clinical Decision
Support functionality that helps stratify our patients for clinical risk
and identify optimal treatment options. Recent advances such as the
support for Decision Management Notation (DMN) models have enabled
clinical informaticists and business analysts to manage and update
complex decision support rules and models without IT intervention,
improving the accuracy of the results and the agility of creation and
change of decision support within our clinical information systems.”
Maureen Fleming, program vice president, Integration and Process
Automation, IDC
“Decisions play a central role in modern
development, especially in combination with machine learning and
embedded in processes that are being engineered to become both more
simplified and dynamic. At this level, decision logic tends to be the
domain of subject matter experts in business functions. High
productivity development based on low code provides a mechanism for
collaboration between business and developers that delivers value faster
and improves the speed of change. The fact that decision runtimes can be
embedded in a container and deployed more flexibly across clouds and
edge locations is also important and differentiating.”
