Companies hire dedicated IBM experts just to operate ODM, and business teams, product owners, and ops can't touch it without IT. Licensing alone runs $120K–$325K+/year, with months of IBM consulting before anyone is live. Nected lets business teams build, deploy, and change rules on their own, live in days.

IBM ODM delivers governance — but gates every rule change behind IBM's release process and IBM-trained IT teams. Nected delivers the same governance depth with a no-code editor your product and ops teams can use from day one.

"Nected helps us create baseline rules for our business that automate all the workflows we need. We're able to build day-to-day systems that every team follows — the whole process runs with far less friction now."

Shruti S.
Operations Manager, Mid-Market
"The interface is simple and beginner-friendly. Technical and non-technical employees both use it — no one needs to know how to code. New joiners pick it up with minimal training."

Rakshit P.
Team Manager, IT & Services
"Managing workflows used to take a lot of time. Since moving to Nected, we're significantly more efficient. Even new members understand the workflow quickly — the UI makes it obvious."

Avtar S.
Developer, Small Business
"You can build complex logic — rules, decision tables, and rulesets — without writing code. For advanced scenarios, JavaScript can be embedded directly into the no-code environment. It's genuinely great for non-coders."

At Nected, we don't just offer another automation tool — we provide a frustration-free alternative to rigid, outdated decision engines, built around how real teams actually work.
Cloud SaaS on AWS (US East default; EU on Growth+). Self-hosted on Enterprise — Docker, Kubernetes, on-prem on your VPC. Air-gapped deployments supported for regulated industries.
Yes — that's the point. Product, ops, and compliance teams build rules in our visual editor without code. Engineering owns integration once; non-engineers own rules forever.
Growth: 99.5%. Enterprise and Self-Hosted: 99.95%+ with custom SLAs.
All three, across every tier — not just Enterprise. Reports available under NDA.
