Automating rules-based processes

Searching for rules in hundreds of pages of legal or policy text can feel like the ultimate needle in a haystack hunt. However, AI and automation can transform this exercise. The Unisys Smart Rule solution combines human expertise and AI-driven solutions to automate business processes, support decision-making and check compliance with legal and policy requirements.

Smart Rule retrieves the rules from documents. An intuitive dashboard lets you compare business text and extract business rules and conditions side by side. This seamless approach supports inquiry handling, data classification and other business processes.
