| How
much faster could you adapt to changes in your marketplace if you
deploy this technology?
Imagine you run a number of IT applications and each contains a
number of business rules. The applications have evolved over time
reflecting changes to business policies, possibly these are implemented
using different technologies. Each business rule is an integral
part of the programming code that makes up the application.
In this situation, a change to any business rule requires the “IT
Change Management” process to be initiated. The work has to
be scheduled into the existing workload of the IT staff and the
ability of your business to respond to changes in its environment
is, therefore, impacted. As the business rules are implemented as
an integral part of the application, there is no easy way for senior
managers within the business to be absolutely sure they reflect
current business policies. Rules technology decouples the business
logic from the application code. This makes the business rules are
more accessible, more visible and more understandable to business
managers.
