This page collects the questions enterprise buyers usually ask before they decide whether Decionis fits their workflow: where it sits, how setup works, what it is not, how it fits Microsoft or Google surfaces, and why teams use it before execution, not after the fact.
The goal here is simple: make fit, scope, and tradeoffs easy to understand without forcing a sales call.
Decionis is a cross-platform decision infrastructure for enterprise and regulated teams that enforces institutional policy before execution, returns one governed verdict such as authorize, block, escalate, or restrain, and records a cryptographically signed Decision Dossier for audit-grade traceability.
Read the quickstartDecionis is for enterprise and regulated teams running payment gateways, credit systems, banking operations, compliance queues, HR approvals, hospitality workflows, trading controls, procurement, risk, and AI-driven actions where approval or decision overload is already slowing execution.
See the team and companyChoose Decionis when you need policy-gated execution before an action happens, not only governance, risk, and compliance management after the fact. ServiceNow IRM and IBM OpenPages are strong for broad GRC programs, issue tracking, and control management, while Decionis is optimized to sit in the execution path, evaluate intent and signals in real time, and return a single governed verdict before money moves or system state changes.
Compare with ServiceNow IRMA buyer should view Decionis as a specialized execution control plane rather than a full replacement for enterprise GRC suites. ServiceNow IRM and IBM OpenPages may offer broader program management, policy administration, and enterprise risk workflows, while Decionis is narrower and stronger at deterministic pre-execution enforcement across systems and AI-driven actions. For teams that must prove why a transaction, workflow step, or agent action was allowed, blocked, escalated, or restrained in real time, Decionis provides more direct execution governance and signed audit artifacts.
Review the OpenPages tradeoffGuardrails AI, Lakera, and LangChain Guardrails primarily focus on LLM safety, prompt controls, model behavior constraints, or agent runtime protections. Decionis operates one layer closer to business execution: it evaluates institutional policy against intent and signals, then returns a binary or confidence-scored operational verdict that determines whether the action can proceed. Guardrail tools help shape model behavior, while Decionis governs whether a real-world action should execute and records a signed Decision Dossier when that decision is made.
Review guardrail comparisonsCreate a workspace, verify the sponsor by email OTP, upload one representative signal sample, confirm the inferred mapping, and issue the org API key plus webhook secret. From there the same workspace can add signal versions, update callback endpoints, configure enterprise routes, promote policy versions, and generate downloadable validation packs without a Decionis services step.
See setup stepsDecionis can sit across Microsoft Teams, Power Automate, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Google Cloud, Vertex AI, Jira, ERP systems, and API or webhook-driven enterprise workflows while keeping one policy boundary before execution.
Review the API surfaceA validation pack is the org-level evidence bundle for Decionis. It complements the per-decision Decision Dossier by exporting regulator-facing evidence, audit metadata, and integrity hashes for the current workspace.
Open validation pack docsA Decision Dossier is the signed audit artifact for a governed action. It records the intent, signals, policy logic trace, verdict, integrity metadata, and share-ready proof for why the action was authorized, blocked, escalated, or restrained.
See Decision ObservabilityDecionis keeps Teams as the collaboration surface and Power Automate as the workflow rail while policy stays in Decionis. Microsoft flows call the shipped policy-check and trigger path, Decionis resolves the Decision Graph, and the resulting Decision Dossier routes back into the Teams surface for review, escalation, and verification.
Review the Microsoft surfaceDecionis fits as a thin Vertex AI Extension or ADK tool surface that forwards agent intent into Decionis Protocol for the actual governed decision. The adapter can verify Google identity at the edge, return one governed verdict plus Decision Dossier proof, emit verified_decision usage metadata, and preserve deterministic policy checks, human approval paths, org-wide and per-decision kill switches, and audit-ready evidence while Google Cloud and Vertex AI stay in the intelligence and distribution layer.
Open the Vertex AI quickstartTeams and Power Automate are workflow surfaces, not the permanent home for policy. Decionis stays cloud-agnostic because the execution-time decision boundary remains in Protocol, while Google Cloud, Vertex AI, Microsoft, ERP, and other systems can act as distribution or execution surfaces around the same Decision Dossier, approval, and validation-pack proof model.
See the cloud-agnostic operating modelYes. Decionis can keep Microsoft Teams and Power Automate as current workflow surfaces while a Vertex AI Extension or ADK tool path sends Google-side intents into Decionis Protocol. The Decision Dossier, verification envelope, validation pack, human-approval posture, and enterprise hardening path for PSC, regional posture, KMS-backed deployment controls, and Google-shaped usage export stay aligned across both surfaces.
Review the fitYes. Decionis is built for regulated workflows where auditability and policy enforcement matter before execution. Public materials reference EU AI Act Article 12, SEC/FINRA-style audit trails, Central Bank execution provenance, signed Decision Dossiers, and downloadable validation packs.
Review governance postureYes. Decionis supports autonomous execution with policy gates, while still pausing, blocking, escalating, or deliberately restraining gray-zone decisions when evidence, confidence, or policy is insufficient.
Review operating modesYes. Public trust signals include Microsoft ISV Partner status, NVIDIA Inception participation, public docs and quickstart flows, security and governance materials, Decision Dossier verification, validation packs with integrity hashes, and org-wide and per-decision kill switches.
Review public trust postureDecionis is intentionally narrower than a full GRC suite, not a generic workflow builder, and not a developer-only LLM guardrail layer. It is built for policy-gated execution at the business action layer.
Review governance postureA CFO chooses Decionis when the requirement is deterministic pre-execution control over spend, approvals, and risk-bearing operations with audit-grade proof of why action happened or did not happen.
See CFO fitDecision Observability is the ability to answer why a governed action happened. Decionis does that by creating a verifiable Decision Dossier for every governed decision, then making that artifact portable across Salesforce, ServiceNow, Teams, Power Automate, MuleSoft handoffs, Jira, email, and audit workflows.
