Decision-Making Logic in Your Processes: A Hindrance or a Catalyst?
Are business rules hard-coded, and does every change require an IT ticket, developer time, and a new release cycle?
Do departments wait for weeks for new testing or approval procedures to be implemented, while the market and regulatory landscape have long since moved on?
Decisions are not transparent, and auditors, inspectors, or regulatory agencies ask for clarification, but no one can explain why an application was approved or rejected?
Do manual verification steps slow down your processes, and do your employees reconcile data in Excel spreadsheets, check thresholds manually, or copy results between systems?
Regulatory frameworks are spread across multiple systems and are inconsistent. Do changes in one place lead to unforeseeable side effects elsewhere?
If at least one of these points applies to you, it's worth taking a look at ACTICO as a central business rules platform.

Frequently Asked Questions About ACTICO and Our Consulting Services
ACTICO is a decision management platform for the intelligent automation of business decisions. It enables users to graphically model business rules, manage them centrally, and integrate them into processes as decision services—all without any programming.
it-novum uses ACTICO as a solution component in process automation.
ACTICO is suitable for all organizations that want to automate operational decisions and make them transparent. This is particularly true in regulated industries such as banking, insurance, and financial services, but also in manufacturing, retail, and public administration. The platform scales from medium-sized companies to large corporations.
A workflow engine (e.g., Camunda or Flowable) controls the flow of a process—that is, the sequence of steps, responsibilities, and escalations. ACTICO supplements this with decision logic: Which rule applies? Which path is chosen? Which values are calculated? Both technologies work together seamlessly and are deployed in combination by it-novum.
The ACTICO Decision Engine offers REST APIs and can be integrated as a microservice into any modern IT architecture—whether on-premises, in the cloud, or in a hybrid environment. It connects to BPM engines, ERP systems, databases, and line-of-business applications via standardized interfaces.
Yes, that is precisely one of its key advantages. ACTICO offers a graphical drag-and-drop editor that allows subject matter experts to create, test, and modify rules and decision tables on their own. IT provides the platform and governance, while the business unit controls the logic.
That depends on the scope. A proof of concept can be implemented in 4–6 weeks. An initial set of production rules can go live in 2–4 months. More complex migration projects take 6–12 months, depending on the initial situation. We’d be happy to advise you on a realistic timeline.
Costs depend on the scope of the project, the number of decision-making services, and the licensing model. We will provide you with a customized quote following an initial consultation. An initial consultation is free of charge and non-binding. Please email us or give us a call.
Yes. it-novum provides German-language enterprise subscription support for ACTICO and assists with operations, monitoring, scaling, and further development. We offer both managed services and on-demand support.
