IBM Business Automation Workflow (BAW) vs. Decisions

IBM Business Automation Workflow combines business process management and case management capabilities in one workflow solution. It integrates the capabilities of business process and case management into a single workflow offering. It unites information, process, and users to provide a 360-degree view of work. In addition to process management, workflow uses advanced analytics, business rules, and collaboration to drive more successful, optimized business outcomes. You can choose a deployment option most convenient for your business based on your needs.

Decisions is an AI-powered process orchestration and automation platform used by enterprises to coordinate AI agents, systems, and people across complex, rules-driven processes—especially where governance, visibility, and accountability are critical. The platform combines visual workflow automation, an enterprise rules engine, AI orchestration, system integrations, forms, and dashboards into a unified control layer. Teams use Decisions to model decision logic, orchestrate work across systems, and govern AI behavior without siloing logic in code, agents, or disconnected tools.
