Follow UsRALEIGH, N.C.: Red Hat, Inc., a provider of open source solutions, on Tuesday announced the availability of JBoss Enterprise Business Rules Management System (BRMS), an open source business rules solution that enables easy business policy and rules development, access, and management.
JBoss Enterprise BRMS allows customers to reduce development time to update applications and processes with the latest business rules and policies, said a press release.
JBoss Enterprise BRMS is an enterprise-ready open source business rules management system.
When deployed with other JBoss Enterprise Middleware such as JBoss Enterprise SOA and Portal Platforms, Red Hat expects that organizations will be able to create better customer experiences by delivering up-to-date service, support and product faster and with higher quality, it added.
Key JBoss Enterprise BRMS features include:
Business Rules Engine - The rules engine is flexible and can be embedded within a wide variety of enterprise applications and business processes. Rules can be updated through a range of tools, from editors and spreadsheets to Eclipse and Web 2.0 business analyst friendly tools, enabling greater business agility.
Web 2.0 Rules Authoring and Management Tools - The Rich Internet Application (RIA) user interface provides a user-friendly environment for business rule authoring and editing, versioning and deployment management. Designed for business analysts and process owners to craft and update rule sets supporting their business processes, the tools extend the value delivered to a wider audience of enterprise stakeholders beyond the Java developers.
BRMS Repository - The repository enables version control of business rules artifacts, including fact models, enumerations, functions, domain specific languages (DSL) definitions, rules and tests. The BRMS repository provides the foundation for the Web 2.0 and other management tools that deliver business agility not possible with traditional enterprise and web application deployments.
"The combination of tight budgets, the increasing maturity of the BRMS, and the continual improvement of open source technologies creates a nearly perfect disruptive storm in the BRMS market," said Stephen D. Hendrick, Group vice president for Application Development and Deployment Research at IDC.
He further added that open source BRMS products that get rule authoring, processing, and management right combined with a significantly lower TCO will receive a strong positive reception in the market.
The introduction of JBoss Enterprise BRMS is a significant addition to Red Hat's overall middleware software strategy to offer a comprehensive portfolio of middleware products that solves application development, deployment and integration challenges, added the release.
