What is a making decision process?
Every manager makes many decisions during the workday. The use of decision making software helps make decision. Making decision process is a strategic activity directed to development of organizational, economical and societal life in a company. That process is also a key part of the company's task and time management. In fact, the manager who needs to get activities efficient should be able to make correct decisions. Looking at a decision from different sides, considering what to change, defining whether a decision makes sense, and figuring out whether an idea is financially valid are those elements of the process which can be resolved by using an application.

The steps of making decision process
A manager should take into account that a natural making decision process includes the following steps:

• Defining the problem
• Finding alternative solutions to the problem
• Assessing the found alternatives
• Making a decision
• Introducing the decision
• Evaluating the decision

These six steps can be successfully passed with help of system.

During the process, decision making application allows to communicate with employees. This capability is the way to find better solutions in sharable environment of the software.
