"Enterprises are better able to speed up their
business cycles and operate more consistently with less risk when they
improve their overall ability to manage decisions. Combining BPM
software, rules and complex event processing provides a way for
businesses to rapidly identify the need for decisions and knowledge
workers with the workspace and information to individually and
collaboratively respond."
Joe Dickman, senior vice president, Vizuri
"JBoss Enterprise
BRMS delivers exceptional value to our clients by fully empowering them
to manage their business rules. It promotes synergy between IT and
business units by separating complex business rules from applications
and presenting them in a language conducive to business users. The
result is better visibility into the rules that govern critical business
applications, leading to shorter development cycles and faster
time-to-market."
