BRMS consulting
The right direction
Business Rule Management Systems (BRMSs) let business owners take control of the key business policies in their applications. ILOG technology is at the core of this new generation of agile systems, and ILOG Professional Services (IPS) provide the people and processes to ensure this technology is applied successfully.

Decisions
An applications success depends on the right decisions being made during the applications development life cycle. IPS consultants work with developers to answer such key questions as:

  • How are rules gathered from the business experts?
  • How should the rules be expressed to be understood by all the stakeholders?
  • How can BRMS be integrated to achieve real-time performance, security, ease of maintenance and data integrity?
  • What processes are required to ensure rules are kept current by the business owners?
  • Who needs access to the rules, how can the rules be modified, and how are they deployed to the production system?

Answers to these questions and many others help make applications deliver as promised. IPSs key to success has been providing a combination of repeatable, tested processes and experienced, talented people.

Processes
The ILOG Business Rule Methodology is ILOGs way to get from vision to deployment. Based on the Rational Unified Process, the methodology provides a set of defined phases, tasks and milestones common to every BRMS implementation. By clearly laying out a road map at the outset of a project, the methodology ensures that all the necessary questions are addressed in the right order and at the right time.

People
IPS consultants are experts on ILOGs products, processes and applications. Their experience includes working on key applications in almost every industry. They apply their methodology to answer the important questions for specific situations, and can serve as planners, architects, analysts, advisers and implementers during primary project phases or throughout the life of a project.
