Visual Rules Platform: Quick Facts

Zero Set-up Effort before Rule Modeling

You don´t need to define any business vocabulary with Visual Rules. You immediately start with modeling business rules. You only need to provide your object model or have Visual Rules create one for you.

Access to your database and to external services is done directly from the rules and does not require any manual mapping.
 

Integrated Test and Quality Management    

The test-driven approach of Visual Rules features extensive test management for quality assurance. This ensures that only completely tested rules that are logically correct enter production. Visual Rules automatically generates complete rule documentation.
 

Integrated Process Support    

Visual Rules follows an integrated modeling approach that supports both business and IT users in every phase of the business rules' management process. Defined feedback loops enable iterative development.

Highest Level of Performance 

Visual Rules is a business rule engine designed for the highest level of performance. It is particularly well suited for performance-critical applications that require rapid results (e.g. online transactions, mass data processing). The processing of rules is accomplished by sequential algorithms.
   

Transparency of Rule Execution / Auditablility   

While defining and executing, business and IT are supported with a clear understanding of the rules in the graphical model. The statistics of rule execution are displayed in the model, enabling step-by-step retracing of decisions and permitting the ability to make revisions.
 

Full SOA Integration   

Visual Rules provides the option of employing business rules as decision services across the company’s systems, including Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs). Additionally, services can be orchestrated within Visual Rules: external services can be called from within the rules.

Easy to integrate: Eclipse powered

Visual Rules is easy to integrate into BPM and other Eclipse-based tools.

Rules in Embedded Systems

Rules are delivered as executable Java code with Visual Rules - e.g. for offline execution within mobile utilities. 
 

Collaboration of Business and IT   

The key to successful business rules management is the organizational implementation of rule modifications - as optimal cooperation between business and IT.

Visual Rules accomplishes this via its advanced collaboration platform that supports the standardized separation of tasks with clear objectives, and by focusing on the respective skill sets.

Business users define and test the rules. Visual Rules automatically generates the rule programs which are deployed in the respective target infrastructure by IT.
