Driving Decisions with Business Rules

 Recorded on September 15, 2011

Business rules management systems (BRMS) are a mature technology that has been available for many years. Capturing business policies, regulations and domain expertise so that they can drive system behavior is a compelling proposition. Systems that automate and manage decisions by executing the right business rules improve efficiency and effectiveness.

Until recently business rules technology has been applied to a fairly narrow range of high value application areas. But as the market changes, the opportunities to use business rules-driven decision management systems are growing.

This webcast, the exclusive first part in a two-part series which tackles the toughest pain points faced by decision-makers, features esteemed decision management expert James Taylor as he discusses the state of the business rules market and the potential for broader adoption of this powerful technology. Topics covered include:

  • What makes business rules a compelling technology
  • The characteristics of decision management systems
  • The new use cases for decision management systems
  • And the evolving characteristics of business rules technology
