D-Cerno DECIDE transforms the trusted D-Cerno platform into a complete formal meeting solution. Whether in a council chamber, courtroom, or boardroom, the system empowers every delegate to participate in structured votes from their seat.

Voting is initiated and managed from the same compact, elegant delegate unit that hosts theirm microphone and loudspeaker— reducing clutter at the table, simplifying training for members and administrators, and removing the cost and complexity of maintaining a separate voting infrastructure.

At the heart of D-Cerno DECIDE are five programmable voting touch buttons, adaptable to any voting procedure — from a simple yes/no/abstain ballot to more complex multi-option decisions with up to five choices. A dedicated programmable button also enables custom API integrations such as concierge calls, witness summoning, or triggering projector and recording systems.

Any unit in the system can be instantly designated as the Chairperson unit with a single click — no dedicated hardware, no physical modification required. Combined with haptic feedback and tactile overlays, the system is designed with confidence and accessibility in mind for every participant in the room.

Voting outcomes are displayed immediately on web-based digital signage, with a room layout visualisation showing each delegate’s vote distribution as it happens. For administrators and clerks, downloadable reports are automatically generated for official documentation and compliance purposes — removing the burden of manual record-keeping.

The system also supports multilingual operation, with multiple presets that can be switched dynamically — either manually from the web interface or automatically via the API — to accommodate different meeting formats or delegate requirements.

D-Cerno DECIDE operates a clear, licensing model designed to grow with your organisation’s needs:

L-DECIDE License (per unit activation) — Unlocks voting functionality, language selection, and programmable button features on each delegate unit. Gives access at a system level to vote distribution on signage and downloadable reports.

D-Cerno Advanced License (per central unit) — Adds comprehensive microphone management via speaker lists, request queues, and room layout visualisation. Also enables seat labelling and enhanced voting reports.

Because the architecture is entirely software-upgradeable, organisations can begin with a standard D-Cerno discussion system and activate voting capability through licences rather than hardware replacement — protecting the initial investment and making future upgrades straightforward and cost-effective.

D-Cerno DECIDE sits alongside D-Cerno DISCUSS within the wider D-Cerno product family — two complementary solutions covering the full spectrum of modern meeting environments. DISCUSS supports open, informal collaboration; DECIDE brings structure, accountability, and formal voting to governance settings. Both share the same hardware platform, the same central unit (D-Cerno AE), and the same intuitive interface — making it easy to deploy a consistent, hybrid-ready meeting infrastructure across an entire organisation.

The D-Cerno AE central unit supports USB integration for Microsoft Teams and Zoom, flexible audio I/O, and a full range of connectivity options — ensuring D-Cerno DECIDE slots seamlessly into existing AV environments.
