In today’s market, companies must be able to quickly react to change. The time between making a decision to change a business rule and the time that it must be implemented is often very short. This is the case both in the government and private sector whether it is ordained by law or as a result of a market change. IT systems that are domain specific are difficult to maintain and quickly become isolated legacy systems.

Most business critical IT systems contain one or more modules with business rules, laws and strategies. Often these are programmed in the same programming language as the rest of the system making them difficult and time consuming to change and maintain. This is where we need a component that isolates the business critical rules in a way that they are easily changed without the need for high programming knowledge. This concerns both new applications and older legacy applications.

Market leading software for rule processing

Innovative Technologies uses Blaze Advisor from Fair, Issac for this purpose. Blaze Advisor is a Business Rules Management System, where the business rules are stored. It can also be called a rule system or a rule server. We can look at a rule server as a component in the IT architecture in the same way as a DBMS is a component. In a simplified way we can look at the rule server as a 'i need a decision' component just as the DBMS is a 'i need data' component.

Integration is key

Expert systems is a natural part in a modern process oriented solution. Blaze Advisor can be integrated in both new and existing systems, whether its is in a large machine environment or client server solutions based on n-layer architecture, including web solutions. Rules can be added in a simple and user friendly interface. With Blaze Innovator you can build a web interface allowing people with no IT background to add or change rules. This way the business rules can be managed in the areas they belong!
