The time for business rules - Computer Business Review 

The time for business rules - Computer Business Review

23rd June 2006
By CBR Staff Writer
The recent European Business Rules Conference 2006 finished on a point of optimism for this area of technology. The business rules approach has its roots in academia and in its early days had a rather technical appeal, resulting in products embraced by developers and IT rather than by the business executive. However, this is all beginning to change.
'Content The business rules (BR) approach now has a new emphasis on addressing the needs of business analysts, but also with the new life injected into the workflow concept that business process management (BPM) and service oriented architecture (SOA) is engendering.

Intelligent Enterprise Magazine: Put to the Test: HaleyAuthority 5.1: Follow the Rules (in Plain English) 

Intelligent Enterprise Magazine: Put to the Test: HaleyAuthority 5.1: Follow the Rules (in Plain English): "Put to the Test: HaleyAuthority 5.1: Follow the Rules (in Plain English)
HaleyAuthority 5.1 offers a natural-language alternative that puts business users in charge of rules management

By Rajan Chandras


As businesses move deeper into the realms of mass customization, process optimization and risk management, success depends on managing and making decisions consistently, in real- or near-real-time and with greater automation. Enterprise decision management solutions are aimed at providing this capability, and these, in turn, are driven by the management of business rules.
Rules management systems generally fall in two categories: business-oriented and application-oriented. Products in the first category are relatively technology-agnostic and emphasize rules management from a business perspective: End users are responsible for defining and maintaining rules, which are then made available to software applications. Systems in the second category are typically more closely tied to application technologies (such as Java). HaleyAuthority, from Haley Systems, is a leading business rules management (BRM) system that firmly falls in the first category. The system is built around strong capabilities in natural language understanding and chained reasoning--or 'Semantic Role Modeling' as Haley calls it--and it offers a business-user-friendly alternative for automated decision management.

Whose Rules Do You Use? by Insurance Networking News 

Whose Rules Do You Use? by Insurance Networking News: "Whose Rules Do You Use?

Should you expect your application vendor to build proprietary rules technologies into your application, or should you expect the company to use enterprise rules solutions?

By David Straus

June 1, 2006 - Business rules have become a hot topic. At an industry event such as ACORD/LOMA, you'll hear many vendors talk about having business rules. We've all been here before; the buzz makes it hard for many of us to consider what we really need in those rules that help us automate processes such as claims and underwriting. Much of what we are struggling with is whether we should buy proprietary business rules capabilities that have been built into our applications, or if we should demand that our application vendors use enterprise-strength business rules solutions.

Intelligent Enterprise Magazine: Mission Intelligence: Hide Complexity, Expose the Rules 

Intelligent Enterprise Magazine: Mission Intelligence: Hide Complexity, Expose the Rules: "Mission Intelligence: Hide Complexity, Expose the Rules

By David Stodder

Hide what's inside: That's the secret for vendors, developers and managers of strategic business systems who want to win over end users. Even with something as important as managing content--the subject of our cover package--the experiences of Halliburton and others have shown that it's best not to expose users to behind-the-scenes details of content management and integration. Hide it inside Microsoft Outlook, just as many believe business intelligence and performance management should live inside Excel. Hide it all somewhere, so that users can get on with their lives and simply profit from better access to information riches.
Where's the rub? End users can lose sight of business rules and semantic context--at their peril. Often, this vital stuff is coded procedurally and resides deep in the proprietary guts of enterprise applications, database systems, workflow and content management systems. In our recent business rules management poll, readers told us that nearly 35 percent of business rules reside in internally developed applications and legacy systems; 22 percent are in packaged applications and 15 percent live in database systems as triggers and stored procedures.
