Long‑Term Support and Currency Updates

Operational Decision Manager (ODM) 8.1.0.5 introduces long‑term support (LTS) releases, giving organizations more predictability around security updates and defect fixes. For teams running decision services in production, this means a clearer path for maintaining stability without rushing to adopt every new version.

Enhancements to the Business Console, including better support for shared decision service branches and more granular role and permission management, help business and IT teams collaborate more effectively on decision logic. Installation and upgrade improvements simplify deployment across components, while Kubernetes and Helm 3 support align ODM with modern cloud‑native practices.
