Rewards Program AirTran Airways wanted to simplify the process of awarding A+ Rewards Program Credits system by making and easily modify the rules for receiving credits. The A+ 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 its a+ Rewards Program system with InRule. Rewriting the complex credit application took only one week; the application was put into production in less than 45 days. 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. Go to top Triage - Healthcare Poison and Drug Control Centers use InRule to help manage the rapidly-changing information their operators need to provide to clients who phone in with life-threatening questions. When minutes or seconds count and accuracy is key, InRule provides poison and drug control centers to provide consistent information based on the most up-to-date protocols.

The rules are relatively simple, though they could be extended considerably when you take into account the many exceptions including whether or not youre racing, whether the other boat is unable to manoeuvre, and so on. First we identified the critical data elements we needed. These are Whether the other boat is under power or under sail The tack your boat is on The tack the other boat is on Whether you are to windward or to leeward of the other boat These elements are set up as data fields under Entities within InRule. The first rule is then implemented in InRule as a simple rule - if the other boat is a powerboat then you have right of way. If the other boat is a powerboat, it will set the Reason field to tell the web page why the ruleset finished and sets GiveWay to indicate you have right of way. The critical rules are then set up as a decision table, to define what happens where boats meet on port, starboard and what effect the relation to the direction to the wind is. Youll see that weve coded these rules deliberately in reverse order. This is to show how InRule will execute the rules in optimized fashion - in this case, the IfUnderPower rule will fire before the GiveWayRule decision table because weve only provided the data item UnderPower. Now Run the application to see how it looks in practice. The rule application is implmented as a web application. The questions are all of radio button type, mostly using auto postback to make the roundtrip each time to the rule set. Using .NET components and controlling their visibility using code behind the application, we can build up a web page where the presentation is controlled by the responses to previous questions.

InRule Version 3.0 addresses the needs of organizations implementing rule applications across the enterprise with new features for: • Custom, business-specific vocabulary with Rule Templates • Improved collaboration and rule reuse • Rule execution across the enterprise with irSOA InRules intuitive Business Language Authoring capabilities have been further extended with the ability to establish domain-specific vocabulary in the rule authoring interface. Users may extend InRules standard template catalog with custom terms and expressions so that an organizations specific terminology can be added to irAuthors out-of-the-box rule constructs and actions. Rule Templates with domain-specific vocabulary provide a familiar context for non-technical users and simplify the creation of complex rules by allowing users to define logic in terms they understand. Improved Collaboration with Expanded Rule Reuse and Management Capabilities InRules catalog component, irCatalog, has been enhanced to allow more granular use and reuse of catalog elements and greater control over the ways in which rule applications are accessed and shared. Users have the ability to specify whether new schemas, rulesets, and data elements are shareable, and may reuse selected elements to create new applications. This allows greater consistency in how critical decision logic is applied across an enterprise, because one set of rules and business schemas is authored and maintained, then reused wherever needed. Check-in/check-out, permissions and version control at a granular level allow for enhanced management of rules and rule application elements from development through production. Rule Execution Across the Enterprise: Introducing irSOA Combining rule-based technology with an SOA (service-oriented architecture) approach is an effective strategy for enforcing consistent use of business rules across the enterprise. This is especially important for those organizations dealing with compliance and regulatory issues. The introduction of irSOA will make it easier to implement rules as services for an SOA approach, and to integrate rules into an existing service ecosystem such as an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB.) Any of the rules or calculations authored in InRule can be published as a web service that can be called from any platform or application that is web service enabled. Users will be able to access InRules engine service without requiring InRule on client machines, making the service more accessible from other platforms and software products. This simplifies deployment, reduces dependency on client machines, and improves performance. InRules custom Rule Templates help bridge the gap from IT coding logic to business users driving dynamic decisioning, said Paul Hessinger, Chief Executive Officer for InRule Technology. InRule is changing the way users think about rules by enabling them to express logic in familiar business vocabulary customized to an organization, project, or individual. About InRule Technology InRule Technology provides technology for the authoring, management and verification of application decision logic that involves rules, calculations and dynamic user interfaces. InRule™ runs as a native .NET technology.

Article Review Capitalizing on Microsoft Technology by Craig Bechtle, COO of MortgageFlex Systems of Jacksonville, FL Mortgage Banking Magazine mortgagebankingmagazine.com November 2008 MortgageFlex Systems strategy over their 20 years in business is to provide mortgage originators a totally integrated system that is easy to use, highly scalable and reduces costs. In his article recently published in Mortgage Banking magazine, Craig Bechtle argues forcefully that component-based scalable logical architecture, and .NET in particular, as a key method of integrating … technology into business functions to create a more streamlined and efficient product. MortgageFlex tracked the evolution of .NET over the past few years, but only recently completely replatformed to take advantage of the benefits afforded by a completely integrated environment. Enter .NET The trigger was the arrival of .NET 2.0, it being regarded as stable enough for prime-time development and MortgageFlex are now completing their final implementation in .NET 3.5. Combining Microsoft Windows Workflow Foundation, Service Oriented Architecture/Web Services and InRules Business Rule Engine, gives the highest degree of automation in the mortgage business, this means automating decisioning, providing real-time pricing and products to loan officers, and have credit underwriting technology embedded. All this resulted in MortgageFlexs new product, LoanQuest.NET. Florida-based Everbank Financial Corporation are already gaining benefits from MortgageFlex products, and Bechtle quotes Jan Wurster at Everbank, pointing to the ability for customers to extend the products through their own efforts using industry-standard development tools. Thinking In Rules While InRule was the choice for the rule engine, providing their users to start thinking in rules, the workflow capabilities were also key, MortgageFlex electing to design a fully integrated system with workflow as a bias not an afterthought. MortgageFlex have also actively integrated Microsoft Office functionality within LoanQuest products, meaning custom letters, spreadsheet import and export, Outlook calendar management amongst other things, are all available without leaving LoanQuest. MortgageFlex avoid the data silo problem of customer data by incorporating Customer Information File architecture (CIF) within their product. .NET allowed them to populate a central CIF, alleviating accessibility problems and avoiding problems of lack of access to shared current information and notification. Other benefits for lenders include an n-tier architecture, flexible user interface and logic layers, a user-maintained rule management system, use of web services and finally no loss of functionality in either the solution or tools. Agility The ability to turn on a dime is a major benefit to this architectural model. Moving to a software as a service (SaaS) model is an ideal example, especially where transactional based. This provides lenders with a system with the most state-of the art technology that will provide them with a competitive advantage. In conclusion, Bechtle focuses on their links to Microsoft especially in relation to their core competencies. Overall, architecture, good choice of technology and outstanding Microsoft competence is allowing MortgageFlex to stay ahead of the curve in meeting the markets technology needs.

The rules are relatively straightforward, and lend themselves to a very useful example to illustrate how InRule may be used in a variable pricing scenario. The UK postage classifications are Letter, Large Letter, Packet and Standard Parcel. Rules governing their definition may be found on the Royal Mail web site The main exception to the standard set of rules is that a package weighing more than 1000g may only be sent First Class. Heres the application below. Each set of radio buttons causes a postback to the server and the rule engine to evaluate whether there is enough information provided to be able to determine an outcome. Only the selection of the largest length, width or thickness automatically determines that the package should be sent by Standard Parcel. Click on the various radio buttons below to see their effects. Note that you may need to click on all four to be able to determine the correct Royal Mail specification and therefore the postage required. First we identified the critical data elements we needed. These are Height Width Thickness Weight These elements are set up as data fields under Entities within InRule. We also set up a field to be able to set the definition of what type of letter or packet it is. This example shows a single rule implementation with many numerous If-then-else conditions. We could have made each of these individual rules. Now Run the application to see how it looks in practice. The rule application is implmented as a web application. The questions are all of radio button type, using auto postback to make the roundtrip each time to the rule set.

These efforts gave subject matter experts more control over business logic and ultimately reduced the time and cost of changes and improved the firms ability to respond to business change. The focus of the Business Logic Automation course is on streamlining the translation from business intent into realized application behavior, using a practical hands-on business based environment. The course will include concepts of business rule engines, and students will use InRule to author, manage, and execute business logic as rules. Students will experience the entire rules-based lifecycle, from facilitating design sessions to the deployment of rules as decision services.

The SharePoint Market Microsoft describes Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 as an integrated suite of server capabilities that can help improve organizational effectiveness by providing comprehensive content management and enterprise search, accelerating shared business processes, and facilitating information-sharing across boundaries for better business insight. Additionally, this collaboration and content management server provides IT professionals and developers with the platform and tools they need for server administration, application extensibility, and interoperability. Typically an organization uses SharePoint for collaboration and lightweight document management. An example is an international direct marketing agency that keeps logos, legal copy, photos and other visual devices for multiple clients stored in a SQL Server database. They use SharePoint Lists to view and access these items, making it easy for individuals to find the assets they need and to create collateral that conforms to brand requirements. Different states require different legal text, and SharePoints filtering capabilities allow them obtain the right assets and conform to localized advertising requirements. According to technology research firm Forrester, SharePoint is a dominant force in collaboration and document management: a third of North American organizations use Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and an additional 24% use other versions of SharePoint1. Based on a 2008 Forrester survey, 65% of respondents indicated that their timeline for implementing the full-featured SharePoint 2007 was either immediately or within the next six months2. However, without extensive customization SharePoint on its own doesnt fully support the complex, decision-intensive processes that are central to enterprise operations. How ShareVis and InRule Extend and Enhance the Power of SharePoint Together, InRule and ShareVis extend SharePoint from a simple document lifecycle management tool to a logic automation solution with sophisticated process, form, and business logic automation. By adding ShareVis and InRule to a SharePoint environment, users can more easily deploy advanced solutions to manage key business processes. SharePoint is where many process efforts start. As SharePoint users extend their deployment beyond simple document management they need to manage more complex, decision-intensive processes, said James Taylor, CEO of Decision Management Solutions. InRule and ShareVis share a pragmatic approach that will be appealing to SharePoint users: native support for .NET and a focus on putting business processes and decision logic in the hands of business users not consultants. ShareVis context sensitive SharePoint solutions provide out-of-the-box Document Control and Forms-Based Business Process Management. Built from the ground up for the Microsoft SharePoint environment, ShareVis enables companies to implement and enforce their processes quickly, without consultants or custom coding. InRule streamlines the business processes modeled and managed within ShareVis by externalizing frequently changing decision logic and calculations into business rules. These rules are easily managed and updated without affecting business processes, thereby enhancing an enterprises SharePoint investment. Business People Manage Processes and Logic With features built for business users (such as Business Language Authoring and automated forms display), InRule and ShareVis enable business people to manage complex processes and logic, without programming. Reducing the time and expense of custom programming means that decision-intensive processes are easier and less expensive to implement and maintain. Improved Compliance through Transparency, Consistency and Auditability of Processes and Decisions InRule surfaces the logic and calculations behind core processes, making it easier to find the rules that govern business decisions and improving the transparency of business applications. Centralized rule management allows business rules to be shared across processes and tracks changes to those rules, increasing the consistency of decision logic and improving auditability. Combination of the ShareVis and InRule technologies is complete. The two companies will offer the solution to their respective customer bases, and will jointly market the solution to the SharePoint user community.

The Visual Modeling within ShareVis makes creating and enforcing business processes a snap. However, when complex decisions are embedded in a flow, even a simple process looks very complex when business decision logic is embedded in the flow, as every IF-THEN creates a new branch. These complex flow diagrams are difficult to understand and maintain. Even the most intuitive visual modeling does not scale when it comes to complex or frequently changing decision logic.

Covalent selected the InRule Rule engine to calculate the safety level of the individual tunnel systems out of the 30,000 sensor and status signals. The business rules are used to evaluate criteria that were derived from the RAMS (Reliability Availability Maintainability Safety) analysis that were used during tunnel design. Results are presented in a central control room as a Tunnel Safety Light (Green, Orange, Red) indicating if train traffic through the tunnel is allowed. The TSL (in Dutch TVL) is the indicator used by Train control, Fire-fighters, and water management (rivers, canals) to make decisions in case of degradation of the technical installations.

"," InRule Technology - Mortgages The Premier .NET Solution for Authoring, Managing and Executing Business Rules Home | Contact Us Customers Business Rule Engine for Loan Origination and Mortgages Many systems in the mortgage industry are hard-coded and rigid. The inability to quickly adjust mortgage systems can often result in the following business problems: Control costs through automating routine tasks Difficult to introduce new, quality loan products Expensive to adjust existing products as market expectations adjust Cannot expand loan originations into new markets or channels No ability to evaluate a loan at a point in time in the past Unable to test new rules in a what-if environment As markets change, lenders and originators who are best suited to adapt their business remain the most competitive. InRule provides a window to look into the IT applications that support the business, allowing underwriters, claims managers and other business users to create and maintain the rules, calculations and logic that drive the competitive mortgage business today. What is a rule engine? InRule helps improve business agility by externalising and automating complex decision logic and calculations. More simply, any IT application has complex rules often deeply embedded in the code. The InRule approach is to take these rules out of the application into a rule engine, where the logic and calculations are executed. Better still, these rules are then able to be modified by non-IT people. Why is it relevant to mortgages? Lenders and originators often need quick answers in a highly competitive lending environment. InRule helps automate traditionally manual activities and is able to work with disparate systems. Financial Services firms need to get new products and services out to market quickly. By giving control of system logic to the people who best understand these new offerings, systems are implemented better and faster. Financial Services systems need to perform complex calculations quickly. Control costs through automating routine tasks. • Reduce risks by promoting consistency between rules and business conditions. Increase speed and flexibility by getting analysts closer to the rules that systems use. Provide a framework for rapidly developing dynamic customer facing systems. Make the logic in calculation intensive applications easier to create, manage,and embed. Expedite eligibility, rating, and product selection decisions. How does it work? Developers and business analysts share a common rule catalog and server. Developers code applications to execute the rules (eg; rating calculations) based on data that’s input by end users. Underwriters use the irAuthor tool to make changes to the rates, logic, or calculation methods, and test the rules using the in-built irVerify tool. Some Examples? Eligibility Preliminary considerations required to enable decision in principle Application details verification Avoidance of costly and time-consuming application details errors Product selection Selection of products based on eligibility and DIP information Document verification Checklist that all relevant documents have been requested/provided Identification of training needs Understanding of where further training for operations staff may be required Real-time context specific help Ability to provide help at specific junctures in the mortgage application process to operations staff Web services Interact with third party data sources from within rules Revision promotion Promote new rules from test to production environments Rule Versions and Historical Data Analysis Create dated versions of rules.

InRule enables decision logic to be shared and managed across applications and platforms, ensuring consistent decision-making throughout the healthcare revenue and care cycles. InRule Powers Healthcare Solutions For Plans and Payers InRule provides the foundation for reimbursement rules to be managed consistently throughout the reimbursement cycle, delivering cleaner claims and faster payments for physicians, payers, and clearinghouses.

Using Rule Technology in Healthcare Systems InRule Technology is a Corporate Sponsor of the Microsoft Health Users Group. HMO Product Customization The U.S.s largest not-for-profit health plan offers dozens of basic HMO plans in each of the 10 states it services, with custom co-pay rules for organizational clients. Each HMO plan has more than 450 rules that determine co-pay rules, which are defined by treatment and in relation to one another. Clients want to determine co-pay rates for various services and the Health Plans representatives want to easily create custom plans for clients, while complying with co-pay rules. A Rule-Enabled Approach enables the Health Plans representatives to quickly and cost effectively offer clients customized co-pay plans that comply with internal rules. InRule provides a way for co-pay rules to be updated as necessary. Go to top MDS 2.0 The implementation delay stems from concerns that the original start date did not provide enough time for software vendors, state agencies, and other systems to properly prepare for the MDS 3.0. Rena R. Shephard Founding Chair & Executive Editor, American Association of Nurse Assessment Coordinators President of RRS Healthcare Consulting Services in San Diego, CA. Minimum Data Set (MDS) is a tool used by skilled nursing facilities to assess residents and determine Medicare payments. Because MDS 2.0 rules were hard-coded in many applications, vendors and agencies could not quickly change their applications to support MDS 3.0. is rigid approach to rule management led to the delay of MDS 3.0 a full year to October 2010. Vendors, state agencies, and facilities planning for the upgrade to MDS 3.0 can benefit from using InRule to externalize the MDS rules that govern the questionnaires providers use to assess patients.

"," InRule Technology - Insurance The Premier .NET Solution for Authoring, Managing and Executing Business Rules Home | Contact Us Customers InRule for Insurance InRule provides a window to look into the IT applications that support the business, allowing underwriters, claims managers and other business users to create and maintain the rules, calculations and logic that drive the competitive insurance business today. Rules and regulations govern key business processes in the insurance industry, including accounting, policy management and issuance, reporting, underwriting, rating, and claims. InRule can be used to effectively automate decision logic, including document routing and rules and regulations that change by geography and effective date. Because subject matter experts such as actuaries and underwriters manage the logic they understand, business logic can be updated as needed more quickly and at a lower cost. New Product Development Aon Corporation, one of the worlds leading providers of risk management services, insurance, and specialty insurance underwriting uses InRule to streamline new product development. Because there are no standard insurance applications that satisfy the unique needs of each industry, Aon developed its own .NET application that handles accounting, policy management and issuance, reporting, underwriting, rating, and claims. InRule is used extensively in this application for complex calculations for rating and business logic for underwriting and policy form selection. InRule empowers Aons business users such as actuariesrather than programmersto write and maintain business rules, keeping rules current while reducing effort by up to 90%. Without InRule, the development of the logic for enterprise processes is lengthy and cannot be easily adapted to market conditions which can result in lost revenue, operational inefficiencies and time to market issues. A relatively low cost investment can reduce the development of the rules and calculations for a process by up to 90% allowing organizations to respond to revenue opportunities more quickly than their competitors.-- Development Manager, Aon Go to top Underwriting The Doctors Company, the largest national insurer of physician and surgeon medical liability in the US, uses InRule as a cornerstone of its system modernization efforts, replacing a 20 year old 4GL system with a .NET system using InRule. Because rules governing applicant-rating decisions, eligibility, and underwriting decisions typically change frequently, this Insurer uses InRule to create and manage fast-changing logic. The results in the TDCs own words: Rule Changes Occur in Days vs. Weeks / Months Change Management cycles dramatically reduced Ability to reassign programmers to work on other code Aon, one of the worlds leading providers of risk management services, insurance, and specialty insurance underwriting, also harnesses the power of InRule to include business user authoring of rules: For one of our insurance coverages, it took an experienced programmer 120-160 hours to develop the logic 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. Underwriting Manager, Aon Go to top Mainframe Migration A U.S. based Insurance Company with a legacy (mainframe) underwriting application acquired another underwriting application. Each application used different rules, logic, and calculations for underwriting but the business needed consistency and transparency across platforms and applications. They also wanted to move toward a Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) built on .NET. They externalized the business rules, logic, and calculations that had been hard coded in the underwriting applications. The externalized business logic is managed and updated centrally in InRule and is called as a service from both the mainframe and .NET applications. InRule solved an urgent business problem while helping the Insurer move toward their strategic vision of SOA on .NET. Go to top Some Examples? Quoting and Underwriting The rules involved in underwriting books of the business are easily expressed in the InRule Business Language tool. The ability to easily modify, test, and execute these rules helps insurance companies triage quote requests to enable straight-through processing. Rating InRule is well suited for calculation-intensive rating development and maintenance processes, to alleviate the backlog and reliance on programmers for making rating logic changes. With InRule’s Excel-like syntax, actuaries and underwriters are immediately productive, writing complex rules and expressions that drive the rating process. In addition, they can make use of over 100 built-in functions including the use of aggregate functions over collections, such as summing up the premium at various levels such as exposures, locations, and policies. InRule’s data functions make it possible to load and lookup data points in various rating tables for base exposure costs, factors, etc. Finally, InRule’s irVerify provides a complete testing environment to verify the calculations and rules are correct without programmer involvement. InRule has been used to provide quotes for over 40 lines of insurance coverage in both the US and Europe. 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. Underwriter, Aon CorporationLearn more Medical Claim Bill Re-pricing Insurance companies that have needs to manage medical claim bill pricing have harnessed InRule to reduce their overall losses. By using rules, high volumes of medical claim bill transactions can be scrutinised to assist with adjudication of overbilled or fraudulent records thereby protecting the insurance company from making incorrect payments. Complex rules for cascading payouts on line items on a medical bill can be added as adjudications rules, reducing development and maintenance costs. Commission Calculation and Document Composition The rules behind commissions can change frequently and sometimes require customisation. By exposing the logic behind commission calculations to brokers, one-off and ad-hoc situations can be handled with ease. Likewise, special situations may arise which dictate custom behaviour for how documents are generated for an insurance company. Risk managers and counsel need the ability to change the rules for how documents are composed in their systems without entering a restrictive development/testing lifecycle. Data Transformation Because of regulatory reporting requirements, Insurance companies are often tasked to capture and deliver reports because of the legacy systems that are used for claim aggregation. Further, third parties involved in administration of claims may utilise reporting systems that are different in layout or format than the insuring companys system. InRule can be used to create transformation rules between systems leading to streamlined consolidation of claims storage and reporting. Try it yourself Download the software.

Risk Management Executive, Top US Bank BASEL II and Risk Rating Scorecards A top U.S. Bank/Brokerage firm, with assets of more than 700B had more than 50 Excel-based scorecards for rating and risk management. While the Risk Managers loved the ability to change the spreadsheets themselves, BASEL II compliance was difficult and the spreadsheets were expensive and difficult to maintain across the enterprise. The Bank decided to solve the problem by replacing the spreadsheets with centrally maintained web applications. While this solution did enable compliance and central control, all logic changes had to be made through IT. Because Risk Managers could not update the logic, a three-month almost immediately appeared. InRule-powered applications have now replaced Excel-based scorecards, delivering the following benefits: Helps ensure compliance Reduces maintenance costs Improves agility InRule enables Credit Risk Analysts to configure new scorecards and revise existing ones which takes 60%-70% of initial programming out of the cycle time, reduces ongoing IT maintenance and significantly enhancing the Speed to Market - production use of the scorecards by analysts.

Thinking In Rules – Why You Should Care About Business Rules In a difficult economy, its tougher than ever to keep up with the changing needs of a business. Business rule technology is helping organizations manage complex, frequently changing business logic more effectively while allowing them to improve and expedite decision making processes. Thinking in Rules delivers measurable value today by leveraging the knowledge of subject matter experts, enabling improved compliance, reducing development efforts, and increasing competitive edge. Business Decision Management: How Business Logic Automation Delivers Value Today {or If You Want a Hot Cup of Coffee, Can You Wait to Boil the Ocean?} With an increasing focus on short terms results, most organizations find that rather than boiling the ocean with the concept of “Enterprise” Decision Management, focusing on Business Decision Management can deliver immediate results. This white paper describes how a Business Rule Engine helps organizations move toward an Enterprise Logic Infrastructure while immediately improving the quality, consistency, and agility of decision‐making, automating key decision‐making processes, and reducing application development costs. Quantify the Value of a Business Rule Engine This white paper will help you understand and quantify year to year cost differences between traditional and rule-enabled development. Using proof points from real-world implementations and customer experiences, the paper provides an in-depth analysis of both IT and business costs and benefits. RuleVantage is an InRule-powered application that puts the principles of the white paper into practice, so you can calculate for yourself the costs and savings of implementing rule technology. Getting to the Handshake: Rules for Effective IT/Business Collaboration A high level walkthrough of the process successfully used with clients to reach an agreement for communication between subject matter experts and developers. Learn how clients have bridged the gaps that exist between IT coding business logic and users driving dynamic applications. Keys to Improving Business Processes and Adopting SOA This white paper examines how a Business Rule Engine can improve Business Process Management by delivering more agile business processes, provide a practical approach to a Services Oriented Architecture (SOA), and enable effective collaboration between business and IT. In exploring these topics, the paper discusses how technology alone cannot change the way an organization does business. Best Practices for Implementing Dynamic Decisioning with Rule Technology Dynamic Decisioning gives subject matter experts control over the rules, logic, and calculations at the heart of essential operations. It involves both IT and business users and results in agile applications that adapt to changing business requirements. This paper offers a process perspective on designing and implementing dynamic business logic. Business Technology at the Crossroads: The Convergence of Business Intelligence, Business Process Management, and Business Rules Organizations have been using Business Intelligence, Business Process Management, and Business Rule Engines successfully as standalone technologies for several years. Today a number of factors are driving demand to use these technologies together. This paper explains the uses of each technology and the synergies between them. Strategies for Building Dynamic Business Applications with SOA and Rule Technology These pragmatic strategies will get you started turning essential everyday decision making activities into dynamic decision services delivered via rules technology and SOA.

"," InRule Technology Products - irSOA The Premier .NET Solution for Authoring, Managing and Executing Business Rules Home | Contact Us Products irSOA - Rule Execution Across the Enterprise Implementing Rules as Services for an SOA Approach Combining rule-based technology with an SOA (service-oriented architecture) approach is an effective strategy for enforcing consistent use of business rules across the enterprise. This is especially important for those organizations dealing with compliance and regulatory issues. irSOA makes it easier for InRule users to access the InRule rule engine as a service. Integration of rules into an existing service ecosystem (ESBs, etc.) is straightforward and largely pluggable. Any of the rules or calculations, or sets of rules and calculations, stored in irCatalog can be published as a web service, which we call a rule service. InRule publishes each service using Web Services Description Language, or WSDL, an XML-based language for describing Web services and how to access them. WSDL services are discoverable and therefore can be called from any platform or application that is web service enabled. Users will be able to access the engine service without requiring InRule on client machines, making the service more accessible from other platforms including J2EE application servers and BPM tools. This will simplify deployment, reduce dependency on client machines, and generally improve performance. irSOA can be easily configured for use with secure sockets (SSL), a requirement for those customers who are transmitting sensitive data to the engine. irSOA also includes full support for .NET 3.0 Windows Communication Foundation (WCF.) WCF offers direct support for alternative transports such as MSMQ. Home | Contact Us | Site Map | Terms of Use | Privacy Copyright © 2009 InRule Technology, Inc. All rights reserved.

"," InRule Technology Products - irServer The Premier .NET Solution for Authoring, Managing and Executing Business Rules Home | Contact Us Products irServer - High Performance Business Rule Engine irServer is the central nervous system of InRule. It provides services for the following functions: Catalog Management State Management Performance Monitoring Database Access Run-time execution Message Queue Interaction Email & Alert Messaging Variable Rule Execution Fire Modes Depending on your needs, you may want to specify the order for the firing of rules and rule sets. InRule supports three execution modes where you can tell the engine to fire rules in the manner it deems the most appropriate or to fire rules in the order you specify. Rule Execution Modes Available as a Web Service InRule provides the option of implementing a service-based component of the rule engine, called the rule service. The rule service utilizesthe rules catalog and externalizes critical business functions to consuming applications. It can be invoked via a Web Service call orvia amessagequeue where rule sets and application data can be cached for high-performance scenarios. The SDKs rule engine connection object allows applications to seamlessly choose the connection option they prefer (e.g. asynchronous/synchronous message queue or Web Service). The service can be implemented in a fault-tolerant, scalable architecture utilizing network load-balancing techniques. In a given environment, multiple rule engine services can be run in parallel to increase throughput and performance of the calling applications. irServer for the Desktop irServer for the Desktop enables organizations to license InRule’s rule engine for local rule execution. When the desktop connects to the server, local rules are updated to reflect the latest server changes. irServer for the Desktop delivers all the capabilities available for server rule execution, but with pricing that enables cost-effective deployment across hundreds or thousands of desktops or laptops. Highly-optimized XML Document Object Model (DOM) One of the most expensive processes for service-based processing is the time it takes to serialize and deserialize an XML document during inter-process communication. For this reason, InRule utilizes a highly efficient XML DOM to load a transaction into the rule engine for processing. Depending on the XML document, InRules proprietary XML DOM is in some cases 10 times faster than traditional DOMs such as MS XML for updating and retrieving values.

It is comprised of two parts: RepositorySDK and RuntimeSDK. Using irSDK, developers can choose froma variety ofapproaches to integrate InRuleinto their applicationdevelopment environment in the most suitable manner. Versatile State Management and Rules Engine Integration InRule supports a host of state manamgement and rules engine integration scenarios. Optimal Rules engine integration can be acheived by binding directly to an applications object model, an xml file, or a database. The Rules Engine Server provides additional information to the calling application in the form of Notifications, Validations, Execution Logs, and Events. State Management Scenarios Include: Xml with XSD schema support .NET Object Model (including instance methods) Database (DataRow binding) Full API to Get and Set Entities and Fields Comprehensive API and Event Model For applications that are executing in a server environment on the .NET platform, it is important to support the .NET runtime environment to its fullest extent. InRule returns a RuleEngineExecutionInfo object with every call to the rule engine and currently supports the following eight events: EventFired FieldValidityChanged NotificationChange RuleChange RuleEngineFeedBack RuleExecutionComplete RuntimeError StateValueChange In addition, the SDK RuleEngineConnection object provides simplified access to the rule engine whether it is in-process or running as a service. When accessing the rule engine as a service from the calling application, the connection object can specify to invoke the engine using a web service or message queue. The calling application can also specify what version of a rule application to use for a given transaction or batch run. Finally, detailed statistics information is provided for every execution of a ruleset including number of times a rule executed and the number of times a named rule evaluated to true. Full Programmatic Access to Repository Items provides users with the ability to manage accounts, security access, versions, and the check-in/check-out of rule applications. As rule applications are checked-out, modified, and checked-in, new versions are created and managed. irSDK - Integrating Custom Application Interfaces Custom Client Authoring Interfaces If your business process requires a more integrated rule editing experience, custom authoring screens can easily be implemented with irSDK. These screens can be developed as an extension to an existing system with minimal effort through InRules authoring API, resulting in a robust context specific rule-authoring interface.

With InRule, business users can author and maintain business rules with a user interface designed for simplicity and an engine designed for complexity and performance. Business Rule Engines and Business Rule Management Systems The core of any business rule technology is the business rule engine, or BRE. A BRE is essentially a set of tools that allow analysts and developers to build calculations and decision logic that operate against a companys data. Its primary purpose is to separate the business logic from the system logic allowing substantial changes in system behavior without substantial changes to code. The externalized business rules can be deployed into mission-critical enterprise systems to affect the logic by which the system executes. A full business rule solution will include not only the engine, but also authoring capabilities for business users, rule management, and application integration capabilities. Some people use the term Business Rule Management System (BRMS) to refer to this full business rule solution. The premier .NET Business Rule Engine, InRule has been helping organizations automate business logic since 2003. InRule is designed to provide intuitive authoring for business analysts and a highly optimized business rule engine that is easy for developers to integrate into .NET applications. Why is InRule the Premier .NET Solution for Authoring, Managing and Executing Business Rules? At its core, InRule provides a superb business rule engine with comprehensive authoring and integration capabilities. This engine is enhanced and supported by a broad scope of management capabilities, including version and permissions control, granular check-in/check-out, rule/application promotion, and reporting. InRule offers the best balance of ease-of-use rules management and flexibility coupled with an optimized evaluation engine.

New features provided: Improved collaboration and rule reuse Custom, business-specific vocabulary with Rule Templates Rule execution across the enterprise with irSOA Improved Collaboration with Expanded Rule Reuse and Management Capabilities irCatalog enhanced to allow more granular use and reuse of catalog elements. InRule now provides greater ability for users to reuse rules and schemas. Users may select just the parts of a rule application they need, then manage and consume those to update or create new applications. This allows greater consistency in how critical decision logic is applied across an enterprise, because one set of rules and business schemas is authored and maintained, then reused wherever needed. Setting catalog items as shareable Enlarge Enhanced Rule Management and Control. irCatalog now allows greater control over the ways in which rule applications and parts of rule applications are accessed and shared. Users have the ability to specify whether new schemas, rulesets, and data elements are shareable, allowing or disallowing their use within other rule applications. When working with a rule application using shared elements, irCatalog will alert users if any shared elements have been updated since the last time the rule application was checked in or saved. Revisions may then be pulled into the rule application. Searching for shareable itemsEnlarge To prevent unwanted revisions of shareable rule elements, an application may be designated as the “master rule application” for a rule element. The shared element may then be modified only within the context of the master rule application. irCatalog can be searched for shareable elements, making it easy to find reusable rules and application components. Granular Check-Out Granular Checkout Enlarge Multiple team members work on different parts of a rule application, checking out only what they need and allowing other team members to continue working on different parts of the application. If desired, an exclusive checkout can be used to prevent other users from updating all or part of an application. Custom, Business-Specific Vocabulary with Rule Templates Domain-specific vocabulary and Business Language Authoring provide intuitive rule authoring Rule Template Using Domain-Specific Vocabulary Enlarge InRule also allows users to extend the standard template catalog with domain-specific terms and expressions. Rule Templates augment InRules already rich Business Language Authoring experience to allow an organizations specific terminology to be added to irAuthors out-of-the-box rule constructs and actions. Rule templates with domain-specific vocabulary provide a familiar context for non-technical users and simplify the creation of complex rules by allowing users to define rules in terms they understand. For example, a loan origination system might have some rules to detect if there are too many high-balance credit cards or accounts with negative items on an applicant’s credit report. Authoring this rule with an InRule Rule Template might look like the example at right. The expressions and notifications in Rule Templates are replaced with business-specific statements. When the user chooses one of these templates he or she is able to fill in placeholders. Typically, developers or other IT professionals will set up Rule Templates with business-specific vocabulary agreed to by the business users. Business users will then use the Rule Templates to create and maintain rules for their own business decision logic, using their own familiar business terms. Controlling Template Availability Managing Template Availability Enlarge The Business Language Editor exposes various functions and operators as templates for rule authoring. Template availability allows for the authoring experience to be configured by deactivating rule templates so that they don’t show up in the editor. This functionality is especially helpful for situations where the rule authors should be presented with fewer authoring constructs than what is available out of the box. All of the out-of-the-box templates as well as any Rule Templates that have been configured in the rule application can be activated or deactivated. All of the templates are grouped so that activation can be controlled at the template or group level as shown below. Rule Execution Across the Enterprise with irSOA Implementing Rules as Services for an SOA Approach Combining rule-based technology with an SOA (service-oriented architecture) approach is an effective strategy for enforcing consistent use of business rules across the enterprise. This is especially important for those organizations dealing with compliance and regulatory issues. irSOA makes it easy for InRule users to access the InRule rule engine as a service. Any of the rules or calculations, or sets of rules and calculations, stored in irCatalog can be published as a web service, which we call a rule service. InRule publishes each service using Web Services Description Language, or WSDL, an XML-based language for describing Web services and how to access them. WSDL services are “discoverable” and therefore can be called from any platform or application that is web service enabled. irSOA can be easily configured for use with secure sockets (SSL), a requirement for those customers who are transmitting sensitive data to the engine. irSOA also includes full support for .NET 3.0 Windows Communication Foundation (WCF.) WCF offers direct support for alternative transports such as MSMQ. Integration with Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) InRule now provides an out-of-the-box WF activity shape enabling Visual Studio users to easily integrate InRule into Windows Workflow Foundation applications. The Visual Studio developer simply inserts an InRule WF activity shape into a workflow and indicates from where rules should be retrieved. At run time, the activity retrieves the business rules and executes them via InRule. InRule Architecture Home | Contact Us | Site Map | Terms of Use | Privacy Copyright © 2009 InRule Technology, Inc.

An Enterprise Logic Infrastructure is a rule oriented architecture that enables business logic to be managed outside application code and accessed across applications and processes. Central and granular management of the logic, including versioning, check-in/out, and permissions is essential. A flexible Enterprise Logic Infrastructure allows decision‐making logic to be called natively from applications or as a service, across platforms. Incorporating a business rule engine and often SOA-based, Enterprise Logic Infrastructures enable more consistent, transparent, and automated decision‐making across multiple business processes and applications.. A U.S. based Insurance Company with a legacy (mainframe) underwriting application acquired another underwriting application. Each application used different rules, logic, and calculations for underwriting– but the business needed consistency and transparency across platforms and applications. They also wanted to move toward a Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) built on .NET. Their goal is what is now called an Enterprise Logic Infrastructure. They are externalizing the business rules, logic, and calculations that had been hard coded in the underwriting applications and calling the externalized business logic from InRule as a service . Central maintenance and change control ensures compliance with regulations and corporate governance policies. And putting ownership of the logic in the hands of SMEs ensures the accuracy and timeliness of rule changes, while reducing application maintenance backlogs and their associated costs. Business Rule Technology allows business logic to be managed outside code just as DBMSs allow data to be managed outside application code and access from multiple applications. With the increasing need of customers to manage business rules across multiple processes and applications, the requirement for and Enterprise Logic Infrastructure increases.

Because improved Business Decision Management delivers visible and often dramatic results, most organizations find that rather than boiling the ocean with the concept of “Enterprise” Decision Management, focusing on Business Decision Management will deliver immediate results—and that will validate and help fund future projects. When a Top 5 Bank in the US moved from hard-coded logic to automating business logic with InRule for use in Risk Rating scorecards for various forms of lending, they enabled risk analysts to “configure new scorecards and revise existing ones, taking 68% of programming out of the cycle time and significantly enhancing the Speed to Market.” Business Decision Management Helps When... Business involves significant decision making Business policies and rules are complex Rules need to be shared across multiple applications and organizations Rules are volatile , changing frequently to react to internal or external pressures (government or financial regulations, competition) Rules affect customer interaction ( customer quotes, policy configuration) Rules are central to core business processes (manufacturing, product configuration) Rules or interfaces may change based on location, user or process (localized apps, web apps, customer facing apps) Empower Business Users and Reduce Burden on IT Because InRule puts Business Rules Authoring in the hands of business users, subject matter experts can easily write sophisticated business rules and complex calculations without costly custom programming. Business users can then update rules without programming changes to the application. Additional Benefits of Automating Business Logic with InRule Reduce the cost of software development and maintenance Writing business logic automation with InRule saves programming time and money. Using InRule, companies can save up to 90% of programming time related to business rules authoring. Increase agility and adaptability Because changes to business rules can be made easily and quickly without application changes, organizations can rapidly adapt to changing business conditions such as pricing, risk factors, and regulations. Enhance consistency and ensure compliance Whether driven by regulations or corporate governance, auditability of business rules is essential. InRules centralized rules repository ensures that all application processes use the same rules and that changes to rules are documented and approved according to policy. Differentiate your products for competitive advantage To help organizations differentiate their products, InRule can be embedded within other applications and can be easily customized. What Role Does it Play in Your Application? A business rules engine is integrated into your application to replace some or all of the business logic. Generally, it does not function to modify or control the data or user interface tier of the application, although InRule does provide this functionality. The portion of the application logic that the business rules engine controls varies depending on the type of application. In some applications, such as an insurance rating program, you may decide to use the rules engine to control as much as 70% of the applications logic. In other programs like an e-commerce application, you may choose to use the rules engine only to validate the check out process. Your application will communicate with the rules engine by specifying what set of rules you wish to execute and passing in the data necessary to make its decisions. Once the rules execute, your application can inspect the rules engine results to display them to the end user or to execute another process. Thinking in Rules Who?

"," InRule Technology - business Logic Automation The Premier .NET Solution for Authoring, Managing and Executing Business Rules Home | Contact Us Products Business Logic Automation Automation: the technique, method, or system of operating or controlling a process by highly automatic means, as by electronic devices, reducing human intervention to a minimum. Business Logic: the underlying system of reasoning used to actualize business intent Business Logic Automation: The process of automating business logic creation, modification, verification, distribution, and application Business logic automation is about putting people in control with applications that are built for change. Knowing that change is coming and knowing what a change will be are two different things. Most of us know that it will rain at some point in the next month. What we dont know is exactly when. How can this be automated? Should we wait until it is raining to go to the store and purchase an umbrella? Or do we carry an umbrella with us in case we need it? The latter is a more automated response model for reacting to changes in the weather. Business logic automation is about putting people in control with applications that are built for change. Automation requires planning for change and the respective transaction costs associated with reacting to it. In many respects, going to development every time a predictable business requirement change occurs is like going to the store for an umbrella every time it rains. We might not know what the interest rate will be in six months, but we do know it will change at some point, and building a solution that minimizes the transaction cost of making the required software change is what business logic automation is all about. In terms of business logic, the automation we are talking about is the automation of the change implementation process itself. The business logic, even if hardcoded, is still automated from the standpoint of it being applied at runtime. We are at the point where the change process is what needs to be automated next. Business logic automation puts business users at the helm of application business logic, without the expensive iterative back and forth between analysts and developers. Many business logic implementations today operate via a human-intensive process which is plagued with handoffs and expensive iterations of trial and error. Automating business logic addresses these difficulties through a series of tools and services tailored to each activity in the business logic life cycle. Navigation and Visualization Business logic automation requires that authors are able to navigate to a body of business logic and understand what it means. Creation and Modification Business logic creation and modification are done through an authoring tool which provides business oriented navigation and visualization features. Verification Effectively creating business logic requires more than just editing rules and calculations. It requires a rich feedback loop that the author can use to verify that what was created in fact represents their intent. Distribution Business logic changes need to find their way from the author to the runtime environment. Business logic automation requires a distribution mechanism that supports migration to production through staging and quality control.

"," InRule Technology - Our Customers - Aon The Premier .NET Solution for Authoring, Managing and Executing Business Rules Home | Contact Us Customers Aon Uses InRule To Reduce Development Costs “It’s easy to author rules with InRule, and non-technical people can understand it. Because you can build rule by rule, a complex system is not overwhelming.” Cathy Quirk Project Manager Aon Aon Corporation is one of the world’s leading providers of risk management services, insurance and specialty insurance underwriting. Aon is reducing application development and maintenance costs for a custom policy management system by using InRule to encode, verify, and maintain the core application decision logic. Aon provides insurance for a broad range of industries. From Sporting Events to Fine Arts, from Entertainment to Mortgage Bankers, each business faces risks that are unique to it alone. Aon provides insurance programs that protect against loss exposures unique to each industry. · Aon provides innovative solutions in insurance and risk management, human capital consulting, and insurance underwriting. · Headquartered in Chicago, with over 55,000 employees in 600 offices around the world. There are no standard insurance applications available that satisfy the unique needs of each industry, and customizing a turnkey application would be cost prohibitive. As a result, Aon developed WinBroker II, their own .NET application that handles accounting, policy management and issuance, reporting, underwriting, rating, and claims. Rules authored in InRule are used extensively in WinBroker II for such things as complex calculations for rating and business logic for underwriting and policy form selection. Using InRule, business people with a background in each industry can create the necessary unique rules. InRule Technology Enhancing Development and Maintenance Efforts Aon has been very pleased with the impact InRule has had on their development efforts. “InRule makes it easy to author rules, and nontechnical people can understand it,” said Cathy Quirk, a project manager for WinBroker II. ”Because you can build rule by rule, a complex system is not overwhelming.” InRule gives users the ability to easily define the graphical user interface for the rating capture screens, which are rendered dynamically at run time based on the context of data entered. “It was easy to integrate the user interface. It made a world of difference!” said Cathy. She has also been impressed with the speed of InRule applications in production. “The performance is great!” Industry-Specific Rating and Policy Issuance · Aon has created Global Practice Groups across several specialfocus industries to completely serve their specific risk management needs. · WinBroker II implements industry-specific rules with InRule for Fine Arts, Mortgage Banking, and Sports and Entertainment. In addition, InRule has helped ease Aon’s maintenance efforts. Aon can implement updates to rules very quickly, and moving rules into production is considered a minimal risk. Use of InRule is Growing Aon’s use of InRule is growing as other groups begin to adopt it. InRule has been used in a Web-service application for business automobile underwriting, and Aon’s Sports, Leisure, and Entertainment division in the UK recently began using InRule within an underwriting application. InRule’s component-based architecture is enabling Aon to implement a Smart Client architecture, in which rules can be executed where needed: on the server, locally on a desktop, or on a disconnected laptop. InRule is also helping Aon improve the visibility of their business rules. Key decision makers and auditing groups can search, report,and inspect the rules that govern their core decision logic.

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.

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 AirTrans 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.

Now Let Your Customers RULE! Differentiate Your Product with Embedded Business Logic Automation and Decision Management, Lower Development Costs and Enable Your Customers to Tailor Business Logic We think software products and solutions ROCK! (After all, what would your computer be without great software?) And by embedding InRule, ISVs, systems integrators and technology solution providers have made their offerings even better. With the industrys leading .NET solution for authoring, managing and executing business rules, InRule helps product and solutions providers differentiate their offerings. Using InRule can also help lower the cost of developing and maintaining complex logic and gives vendors the option of letting customers tailor business logic. Why ISV Products Can Rock Even More with InRule With InRule the premier .NET Solution for Authoring, Managing & Executing Business Rules business logic and calculations are separated from core application code, making them more visible and easier to change. For ISVs, SIs and technology solution providers, this means that standard decision logic or client-specific customizations can be easily updated and sent to customers without refreshing the entire product. This helps you meet unique client requirements and makes distributing product updates faster and easier. InRule is built to be embedded, with significant technical benefits for .NET development groups (see next page.) Differentiate Your Software with InRule Most software requires the automation of business logic and includes decision logic that is typical to most of its users. While this typical logic provides real value, it can sometimes be a lowest common denominator: common not only to most users, but also to most competitors. By providing clients the ability to customize decision logic, ISVs raise the bar and differentiate their offering. Customers Rule with InRule Embedded InRule gives you the option of allowing clients to tailor business rules to meet their own unique requirements. Your software or technology product is more valuable to clients when it meets their unique requirements. Just a few examples: Financial firms can update rules relating to regulations that vary from state to state. Insurance firms can customize rules for specialty lines of business (e.g., pet insurance, luxury items, etc.) Retail firms can make timely updates in response to promotions and other corporate initiatives. InRule allows us to easily and cost effectively tailor our solution to meet the unique compliance requirements of each of our customers. This is a major point of differentiation for our solution. Jonathan Wiener, VP of Business Development, North America, MyStaff Software Subject Matter Experts Author and Maintain Rules InRules intuitive authoring environment enables subject matter experts and analysts to write and maintain business rules, resulting in software logic that meets business requirements. As an ISV or Systems Integrator you can go one step further with the option of putting business logic in the hands of your customers. InRule Technology | 651 W.

We can structure pricing to balance your investment over the course of the agreement, according to your specific needs. As part of any OEM agreement, InRule provides training to ensure your success. Embedding InRule Beats Homegrown Rule Implementation Hassles and Costly Hard Coding Many ISVs who previously used a homegrown rule engine turn to InRule because they require more configurability for todays dynamic applications. They also choose to invest their R&D resources in their own core competency, using best-in-class capabilities for foundational technologies such as Business Rules. Its not just the engine--its rule authoring and management, and extending the same benefits to end clients--that makes InRule an easy choice over homegrown rules capabilities. Like direct customers, ISVs comparing the cost of using InRule against the cost of developing and maintaining business logic by hard coding find a rule-enabled development approach to be more cost effective. For details and examples visit the White Paper page on inrule.com for the white paper Quantifying the Value of a Business Rule Engine. Technical Benefits for .NET Development Groups Built to be embedded, InRule has a small footprint and is easily embedded and distributed, without the need for separate installation routines or InRule branded interfaces. Embedding InRule in your software solution or technology product delivers not only rule authoring and management flexibility, but also high performance execution of business logic. Integrating InRule into .NET software products is made easy with deep support of native .NET capabilities. irStudioTM enables .NET developers to set up development environments, create and edit schemas, and author, test, and maintain business rules within Microsoft Visual Studio irCatalogTM provides a rich set of rule management capabilities and is integrated with Active Directory The repository SDK allows rules to be created on-the-fly to support cases in which rules need to be dynamically created and executed within the engine. This means that rules can be updated and moved into production without requiring InRule on every client machine. irScriptTM, the first dynamic language for business rules based on the Microsoft DLR, enables the creation of custom functions, reflecting the specific requirements of your software product or unique needs of customers. InRule provides a window into the logic of an application, allowing quick access and easy maintenance of business rules InRule Technology | 651 W.
