Our Customers
We are proud that InRule is used by numerous Fortune 500 firms and leading companies
in a variety of industries.
Aon provides innovative solutions
in insurance and risk management, human capital consulting, and insurance underwriting.
Each industry has unique requirements.
To manage those requirements, Aon built Winbroker – a .NET application that
handles accounting, policy management and issuance, reporting, underwriting, rating,
and claims for the insurance programs they underwrite. Rules authored in InRule
are used extensively in WinBroker for complex rating calculations and underwriting
and policy form selection logic.
"For one of our insurance coverages, it took an experienced programmer 120-160
hours to develop the logic [without InRule] for the rating program. An actuary,
using InRule, was able to build and test the same logic in 14 hours." In addition,
they used the tool to express their requirements instead of having to write up a
huge Word document."

As part of its Systems Modernization
Initiative, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Nebraska (BCBSNE) has adopted
.NET as its strategic platform, is implementing an SOA infrastructure, is using
BizTalk Server as the routing engine for their ESB, and is integrating InRule as
its primary business rules engine.
InRule was selected to specifically define rules for routing messages in ESB and
to define rules in business applications such as claims adjudication. BCBSNE identified
the following factors behind their decision of InRule:
- Its user interface enables business users to write and update rules.
- The strength of its engine
- Its .NET depth

AirTran Airways
wanted to simplify the process of awarding A+ Rewards Program Credits by making
and easily modifying the rules for receiving credits. Their customer rewards program
is challenging and complex to manage because the program is constantly evolving
in partnerships and other promotions so the application had to be flexible and easy
to change.
AirTran powers their A+ Rewards Program system
with InRule. Rewriting the complex credit application took only one week and was
completed during AirTran's evaluation period. Now rule changes can be deployed within
ten minutes. In addition to the fast implementation time, AirTran chose InRule because
of the simple interface for changing rules, ease of deployment, .NET compatibility,
and web accessibility.
