Bring Greater Control to Complex Business Decisions

Every organization makes decisions that directly affect customers, operations, and business outcomes. These decisions may determine eligibility, pricing, risk, approvals, claims, or compliance.

The challenge is that the logic behind these decisions is often scattered across systems or buried inside application code. When regulations, policies or customer expectations change, updating that logic can become slow, inconsistent, and difficult to govern.

The Progress® Corticon® decision automation platform helps organizations take control of complex decision-making by turning business logic into a visible, manageable and governed business asset.

Make Decision Logic Easier to Manage

Corticon creates a dedicated decision layer that is separate from the application code. This allows business and technical teams to define, update and manage policies without depending on lengthy application release cycles.

With Corticon, organizations can:

· Respond faster to business and regulatory changes

· Apply policies consistently across systems and channels

· Explain and audit how decisions were made

· Reduce the risk of outdated or inconsistent decision logic

· Scale decision automation for mission-critical workloads

This approach gives organizations greater flexibility while maintaining the governance and control required for high-impact decisions.

Add Governance to AI-Driven Decisions

As organizations introduce AI into decision-making, transparency and control become even more important.

AI models can produce predictions, recommendations, and insights. Corticon applies explicit business policies to determine how those insights should influence the final outcome.

This combination helps organizations use AI more responsibly by ensuring decisions remain consistent, explainable, and aligned with business and regulatory requirements.

Support Complex Decisions Across Industries

Corticon supports organizations across healthcare, insurance, financial services, government, retail and other industries where accuracy and traceability matter.

Common use cases include:

· Eligibility and benefits determination

· Underwriting and claims processing

· Lending and fraud detection

· Regulatory compliance

· Pricing, promotions and offers

· Treatment authorization and billing validation

Wherever decisions are complex, consequential, and need a clear explanation, Corticon can help.
