Capabilities
– Intuitive Rule Builder with business-friendly drag-and-drop capabilities gives business users complete control of rule creation, testing, and deployment.
– Advanced Builder empowers technical savvy users with flexibility and controls through an English-like programming language SRL (FICO Structured Rule Language).
– Business terms are created to extend object models from the RMA (Rule Maintenance Application) and then used to author rules in any kind of decision entities.
– Support multiple open standards and common languages – PMML (Predictive Model Markup Language), FSML (FICO Strategy Markup Language), SAS programs, Python, R, SPSS, etc.
– FICO® Model Translator makes translating SAS programming language into a decision service a breeze. Converted decision services can be easily deployed into different environments such as Web Services, Java, Spark, and COBOL.
– Test reports show the distribution of values and display graphical comparisons of the differences between the expected and actual results.
– Visual tracing provides a way for stepping through the execution to determine if any problems lie with the decision logic or data.
– Impact analysis report shows the impact of changes to the decision logic in the most intuitive ways so users can assess and estimate the impact of new and updated business rules before putting them into production.
– Decision simulation provides wizards, pre-packaged templates, and reports to quickly simulate the potential business impact of new rules. The simulated results provide critical insights for assessing the business outcomes in risk, revenue, retention, profit, and other metrics.
– Check-in/check-out and version management features support a mature release management process for decision projects.
– Compiled Sequential mode delivers fastest performance for the rules engine during both compilation time and execution time. The Rete III inference engine benchmarks more than 300% faster than competitive engines at the highest levels of complexity.
– Seamless integration with a wide range of other technologies such as WebSphere, JBoss, and WebLogic enables intelligently deploying and executing rules in multiple platforms.
