Overview / Business Rules Management

� Give more value to business knowledge managing company policy repository� Give more value to business knowledge managing company policy repository

� Using BPM and/or a rule engine inside the system gives more flexibility to and makes easier analysts’ activities.

� Using rules externally, defined by the components, increases the maintainability of the services and improves their adaptability to new business requirements.

Rules in Excel/Openoffice or inside IDE
