Rule Authoring in Microsoft® Word with irWord™
Business users author executable rules and calculations within Microsoft® Word
Subject matter experts at many organizations already use Microsoft Word to document business requirements and rules. Using irWord they can now manage executable business rules directly from Word, streamlining the transition from documenting requirements to executable logic. irWord provides a familiar authoring environment and eliminates the need for separate requirements documents.
irWord includes all of InRule's rich authoring capabilities – decision tables, English-like Business Language Authoring and dozens of built-in actions and functions, as well as InRule's integrated, real-time testing – all within a Microsoft Word document. Once rules have been formalized and tested, they are immediately available for execution by the InRule rule engine, in accordance with the version control set by IT.
By enabling business users to write requirements and executable rules in a single document and as a single task, irWord will increase efficiency and effectiveness, and delivers on Microsoft's vision of Office Business Applications.
