Alliance relationship
ILOG provides JRules integration for Oracle BPEL Process Manager. The combined solution enables business users to use ILOG JRules to create and edit policies from within Oracle Business Process Management (BPM) applications in a familiar language rather than having to rely on IT staff. The two products used together enable faster response times to changing business environments and government regulations, as well as competitive pressures for organizations.
Customers can use ILOG JRules as a “decision service” for Oracle BPEL Process Manager, providing the means for publishing rules and rule sets as reusable services that result from multiple business processes. This allows users to build flexible service-oriented architectures (SOA) by leveraging existing resources, while minimizing the cost of deploying new applications. Oracle BPEL Process Manager and the JRules-enabled decision service are critical components of a BPM solution, each reducing the cost and complexity of integration projects while increasing their strategic value.
ILOG contribution
ILOG JRules business rule management system (BRMS) combines with business process management systems (BPMS) to achieve the highest levels of process agility. A BRMS allows business policies to be managed separately from the rest of the application, eliminating the need to make policy changes to a BPM application through traditional software coding. This approach also means policies can be managed through BRMS-based decision services as part of as service-oriented architecture (SOA).
Results
Oracle BPEL Process Server combined with ILOG JRules BRMS enables continuous adjustment of processes in response to changing business conditions and allows business users to maintain applications, lowering IT maintenance costs.
Technical Background
Oracle BPEL Process Manager, a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware, connects and coordinates business processes that span multiple departments and applications, combining processes and policies contained in disparate packaged applications and legacy systems into one platform.
A key goal of Oracle’s BPM approach is to delegate the definition, coordination and execution of business processes to business analysts to visually define the business flow between applications, departments, business partners and individuals. ILOG JRules extends this functionality by allowing business analysts to have access to the policies that are ultimately driving the business processes.
