Every enterprise has rules, policies, and regulations that govern different aspects of its business operations.

For example, a transport carrier company may have rules about how much cargo each of its vehicles can carry, or a bank may have rules about how much money it can lend to an individual.

In the past, enterprises implemented business rules manually, through employees. This approach tended to be inefficient, prone to errors, and lacked transparency. To eliminate these problems, enterprises began to automate business rules, enabling employees and systems to make business decisions more quickly and with fewer errors.

Before the advent of BRMS, automating business rules meant developing your own rules application, which was time consuming, resource-intensive, and costly. Often, the application would fall short of realizing the business analyst’s requirements. Additionally, any changes required modifying and testing the application code.

A better approach is to use a BRMS such as Corticon that can enable enterprises to automate business rules quickly, transparently, and flexibly.
