Rules for CEOs

A five minute briefing for executives.

What's the bottom line? What can rules do
for you?
The biggest challenges facing business and IT
in the 21st century are change and complexity.
Architecture, knowledge, and rules are the
answer.
Reprogramming “hard-wired” rules takes
months.
Changing business rules takes minutes.

What's the problem you are solving? Why is
this important? Why does it matter? |
| |
Businesses rely on thousands of business rules
that are hidden and buried in hundreds of
computer programs that run the business. If you
want these programs to work properly, your
business rules must be carefully designed and
linked together to form a logical decision chain
that the system follows from beginning to end in
order to make correct decisions.
The problem is that companies are still
“hard-wiring”, or hard-coding, business rules
using traditional procedural programming
languages. That means that in order to change
business rules, they have to go through the
endless edit, change, compile, test, debug, edit
cycle.
By the time programming is complete, the
changes don't matter any more. |

How can Business Rules help you? |
| |
The Business Rules Approach makes it easier to
change rules. You take business rules out of the
program and store them in a rulebase instead.
You treat rules as data not code – Instead of
“hard-wiring” business rules, you store rules in
an inference engine that knows when and in what
order to execute the rules.
That makes changing business rules as easy as
changing data. Business people can finally
change their own business rules instantly,
without recompiling, and without waiting for IT
to change the program.

Can you keep doing business without Business Rules?
You've gotten this far without them right? |
| |
|
Yes,
some companies don't need Business Rules.
Rules are not for everyone.
If
you don't plan to use business rules then what's
your plan for
keeping up with change and complexity? |
| |
|
Do you want to stay in the game, keep up with
change, and deal with complexity? |
| |
|
If you really want to keep up with change, deal
with complexity, reduce time to market, increase sales, cut costs, and maximize revenue,
etc., then your best and easiest option is to use
the power of Business Rules. If your plan is to sharpen your competitive edge
in order to leap ahead of competition, then you
must use business rules management
techniques and rulebase technology. |
| |
|
Do you face these challenges? |
| |
|
If
you face any of these
challenges, then you are
ready to use the business rules approach and
business rules technology. The opportunity to
leverage rules is within reach. |
