A service-oriented architecture (SOA) provides organizations with the ability to rapidly deploy new applications and easily integrate with other component applications. This provides flexibility but also creates difficulty in managing the consistency of business decisions delivered through various applications. This white paper discusses how business rules management systems (BRMS) fit within an SOA, how BRMS can act as intermediary between service-based applications and legacy applications, and how to use a BRMS to achieve decision consistency across an enterprise.

Read this white paper to learn how the use of a business rules management system within a service-oriented architecture provides clear benefits through the separation of decision logic from application functionality. Discover how to ensure that disparate applications behave consistently, are able to automate complex decisions and quickly adapt to changing business requirements.
