  Decision taking can be performed as a service to other parties and it is
amenable to outtasking rather than to outsourcing. Outtasking decision taking
is compatible with selfsourcing of decision making activities carried out in
preparation of decision taking. Decision taking as a service (DTaaS) is viewed
as an instance of so-called decision casting. Preconditions for service casting
are examined, and compliance of decision taking with these preconditions is
confirmed. Potential advantages and disadvantages of using decision taking as a
service are considered.
