Above are the major components or products which comes with the ILOG JRules
product. JRules is basically a Java based system. ILOG Also has a version for
.net which also supports the same features like ILOG JRules support.As
companies rely more and more on information technology (IT) to manage their
business, IT departments need to develop more complex applications and
simultaneously accommodate an increasing rate of change in the applications
they support.
Often, the implementation of the company's business policy within these
applications becomes too complex, voluminous, and fast changing for a
traditional software architecture. When this happens, an enterprise Business
Rule Management System (BRMS) provides solutions to make this management more
efficient, both for developers and for the business users of the applications.
With a BRMS, developers and architects can extract the business logic from the
traditional code of an application. When business policies are hard-coded into
an enterprise application, the process of updating the system requires
specialist programming staff, puts the stability of the system at risk, and can
take a long time. By externalizing the business logic from a business
application with business rules, IT users can develop and run the business logic
independently of the application.
