 Building the Case for a .NET BRMS
Complex or frequently changing decision logic makes business rules difficult and expensive to author and maintain. Business Rule Management Systems (BRMS) streamline business processes and make them easier to maintain by separating business logic from application code. With the right authoring tools, such as MS Word plug-ins, a BRMS enables Subject Matter Experts (SME) to help IT in maintaining key business logic in a structured, managed environment. Meanwhile, IT is enabled with strong tools to manage rules along with their other application artifacts, leveraging their .NET skills and familiar tools like Visual Studio and easily integrating into their .NET infrastructure.
