The Challenge

An enterprise realizes thousands of operational decisions each day, e.g. the rating of a certain credit risk or the enforcement of a governance policy. Many of these decisions are distributed in IT systems - thus cutting the business and domain experts off from their ability to control.

The challenge is to enable the business to manage their decisions and automate large volumes without the need for development by IT.

The Solution

The Business Rules Management System Visual Rules separates decisions - which consist of business rules - from the technical parts of an IT system and empowers businesspeople to model this logic and deliver it as a business or decision service. The advantage: Business rules are much easier and faster to be built and changed.

The quality management of the decisions is assured by the integrated QA in Visual Rules. Only fully tested and documented decision services enter the production environment. They can be used by any other service or user.

Decision services can be registered in the CentraSite registry/repository, including the available meta data as interfaces and descriptions. Registration and unregistration can be automated. Decision services realized with Visual Rules and registered in CentraSite can be fully managed in their lifecycle including the audit trail of execution.
