Business Rule Manager

Understand and control application business logic

Business Rule Manager™ discovers hidden logic that controls how applications behave. By harvesting these business rules analysts and managers can ensure that their applications behave as demanded or required by law. They can also extend the value of their proven business rules, for instance by reusing them in a service-oriented architecture.

Business Rule Manager provides powerful assessment capabilities that locate logic buried within application code.  Analysts can quickly organize and document the logic, providing insight into how applications truly support business processes.  The tool retains current links between rules and code, enabling teams to efficiently update and reuse proven business logic.  

Regain control over application behavior

Using Business Rule Manager development teams can recapture the business logic buried within their existing applications.  The applications that run business contain thousands of proven business rules, controlling how applications behave demands an understanding of this logic.

Business Rule Manager accelerates the discovery of hidden logic by up to 50% compared to manual approaches.  This ensures that analysts and managers can quickly understand rules and learn how they are sequenced and organized within code, regaining control over the business behavior of even complex systems.  

Accelerate development projects through reuse

Business Rule Manager creates a single, browser-accessible knowledgebase of an organization’s business logic, so analysts can better communicate change requests to development teams.  Developers know where to make changes in applications and can reuse proven logic, even in a service-oriented or business rule engine model.
