IBM ODM (also known as WebSphere Operational Decision Manager) functions as a Business Rule Management System (BRMS). It features a central repository and an automation engine that facilitate the creation, management, testing, and governance of business rules and events. These rules and events are stored in the central repository, allowing individuals and software to access and modify them without requiring any software rebuilds.

During this instructor-led live training, participants will learn how to create, manage, and execute business rules, as well as how to deploy and manage an instance of IBM ODM Decision Management within a live environment.

By the conclusion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Manage ODM components, including IBM Decision Center and IBM Decision Server
• Manage and execute business rules and events
• Shorten the testing cycle by enabling other software applications to detect and adopt changes to rules
• Combine decision-making and change detection tools to support adaptation, auditing, tracing, and testing
• Decouple business rules from business applications to enhance flexibility
• Develop easy-to-maintain business rule client applications
• Utilize Event Designer to construct business event projects
