Development

End-to-end ODM solution delivery – from full decision solution builds and framework creation to solution architecture, ODM migration, and BPM integration.

Check Out our Development Philosophy

Full Solution Delivery

Complete engagement from requirements gathering and refinement through Operational Framework implementation, rule authoring, testing, and post-deployment support. We own the full lifecycle so your team can stay focused on the business.

Framework Creation

Design and delivery of Operational and Testing Frameworks, followed by guided support for your business users to perform rule authoring and testing independently within the delivered framework.

ODM Migration

Upgrading and migrating from legacy ILOG JRules, ODM v8.x, and older BRMS platforms to current IBM ODM and Cloud Pak for Business Automation (CP4BA). We handle rule artifact migration, regression testing, and deployment topology changes with minimal disruption.

Solution Architect & Team Lead

Expert architecture design and technical oversight for ODM engagements — providing direction to development and rule authoring teams, and ensuring the solution is extensible and following Best Practices.

BPM Integration

Connecting IBM ODM with IBM Business Process Manager, IBM BAW (Business Automation Workflow), and enterprise systems — architecting the integration patterns, REST/SOAP callouts, and decision service end-points that tie your decision engine into your broader automation platform.

Advisory

Expert guidance on ODM and BAW implementation quality, development standards, and governance – delivered as actionable, practical outcomes for your organization.

Health Check

A structured review of your current ODM implementation measured against established best practices — identifying critical issues, risks, and improvement opportunities, and delivered as a written assessment report your team can act on.

Example

Change Management & Governance

A governance methodology tailored to your organization — defining how rule changes are proposed, reviewed, tested, and promoted across each Decision Solution throughout its full lifecycle.

Philosophy

Best Practices

ODM development and change management best practices customized to fit your organization’s requirements, culture, and existing Decision Solutions — giving your team a clear standard to build and maintain against.

Example

Support

Ongoing and targeted engagements to keep your ODM solutions performing and evolving – from on-call mentoring to code reviews and performance tuning.

On-Call & Mentoring

On-call development assistance and ad hoc training available to your team, organization-wide or focused on a specific Decision Solution — providing expert guidance exactly when and where it’s needed.

Reference Implementations

Delivery of a fully functional implementation of a specific ODM pattern — giving your team a concrete, working reference model they can draw from when implementing that pattern within their own Decision Solutions.

Code Reviews

Targeted review of a specific Decision Solution component with actionable feedback and remediation recommendations. A focused, lower-overhead alternative to a full Health Check when you need answers quickly.

Performance Tuning

Optimizing Rule Execution Server, Decision Center, and ruleset performance for high-volume, low-latency environments — diagnosing bottlenecks, tuning JVM and execution settings, and restructuring rulesets to meet your throughput requirements.
