Service
Oriented Business Rules Management Systems |

Where
to put the Business Rules?
One of the problems of large software development projects - esp. distributed
systems and integration - is managing the business rules. Mergers and acquisitions
magnify the problem. Policy updates in one part of the system may not be seen
elsewhere. Often the same rule may be "hard-wired" in many places, deep
in application code. Your CEO
cannot understand why urgently needed changes, that seem so simple, can take weeks
and months to implement. Thankfully, with the uptake of Service Oriented and Component
Based technologies, business rules can now be managed separately.
The risks of not doing this are:
• Major opportunity costs - not being able to respond quickly to changes
in your market
• Penalties where statutory / regulatory changes have not been fully implemented
to deadline
• Disruption of business process where routine maintenance of important business
rules has resulted in catastrophic inconsistencies.
