(EtQ: Farmingdale, New York) -- The EtQ decision tree allows users to create a web-based list of related questions that are dependant on each other, so that the results of the questions will impact the business process and produce quantitative results such as a risk ranking, subsequent questions, or related actions. In the latest release of EtQ Reliance, users are able to use EtQ’s graphical administration tool, EtQ Designer, to seamlessly produce decision trees in any application.

The decision tree is an effective way of automating business rules by guiding the user toward the right step in the process. It can also be used to effectively conduct a risk Assessment. The EtQ decision tree can now be created in the EtQ Designer graphical administration tool, and the list of questions and answers and associated responses are defined in a decision tree profile that can be administered by the process owner.

“EtQ’s decision tree technology guides the user in the right direction,” says Morgan Palmer, EtQ's chief technology officer. “The decision tree presents the user with the best option based on rules that are defined by the business process. For example, a change management process might use decision trees to determine the correct action items that need to be completed for each type of change. In the newest release, EtQ makes the creation of these valuable decision trees fast and efficient through the use of EtQ Designer.”
