White Paper


Description:
Business rules management software (BRMS) is one of the rarest of information technology (IT) concepts. BRMS provides exactly the functionality that the acronym implies. There is no mixing and matching of obtuse buzzwords. There is no misapplication of the terms “management” or “system.” BRMS is not an acronym that could mean multiple things.

Red Hat White Paper Sample

Although the term BRMS is self-explanatory, a definitional exercise is important in order to place the term in context.

For starters, the term “business rule” does not have an IT dependency. You are running your business or enterprise today by a set of business rules, whether or not you have BRMS. This is true whether you are using the latest 2010 cloud-based computing architecture, a mainframe from the 1970s, some IT from between those two eras, or no IT at all. It is the case whether you pride yourself on “managing by walking around,” or “flying by the numbers.” It doesn’t matter if you received your business management education at Wharton or by stocking shelves at Wal-Mart.
