The Insider's Guide to Next-Generation BPM
10/24/2005
Corticon Technologies today announced the availability of a major upgrade to its namesake Business Rules Management System (BRMS) suite.
The company issued the following details:
Corticon 4 extends Corticon's business rules architecture to more effectively manage rules and policies across distributed teams and connect the rules tier with diverse data sources and applications.
Corticon's new Enterprise Data Connector provides enterprise class connectivity to back-end data sources during rules execution. The new Corticon Business Rules Collaborator provides a shared repository to ease deployment, management, integration and ongoing rules modeling and development for team-based projects.
"Customers expect business rules to be independent logic that can be maintained, if not created, by business analysts as well as by programmers. This straightforward idea is, in fact, difficult to put into practice. Innovators such as Corticon are reinventing rules technologyto create platforms for business-process automation," noted Forrester Research VP John Rymer in a report.
The Corticon Enterprise Data Connector provides a direct connection from the rules engine to relational databases and other data sources. This allows the rules engine to automatically retrieve missing data or update data sources directly during rules processing, improving performance and simplifying integration.
Corticon Enterprise Data Connector springs from the suite's code-free modeling approach. It requires no SQL programming skills; allSQL code is generated automatically from the simple, spreadsheet-like rules model. By separating rules authoring from data access, the Corticon Enterprise Data Connector eliminates delays in rules creation or maintenance and the need to rewrite rules when data sources change. This lowers the cost of ownership by reducing time-to-changeas well as the skills required to create and maintain business rules.
The Corticon Business Rules Collaborator manages the business rules built in Corticon's Business Rules Modeling Studio. It helps organizations to control their rule assets with robust, multi-user management capabilities. Corticon Rules Collaborator includes enterprise team-management features such as check-in and check- out, versioning, security and access control, workflow, and collaborative rules development. Corticon Collaborator also makes it possible togauge the impact of organizational changes on rules. For example, it can help find all of the business rules that are affected by the change of a data element or an associated business policy.
"Since the release of our first business rules solution in 2001, Corticon has provided the easiest way to model and automate business rules," said Mark Allen, M.D., co-founder and CEO of Corticon Technologies. "Now, with Corticon 4, we have again differentiated features that our large enterprise customers demand, such as data connectivity and ashared repository, through our model-driven approach. By working with Corticon, clients can have both ease-of-use and robust enterprisefeatures in one common business rules management system."

Some use the term Enterprise 2.0 exclusively to describe the use of social networking technologies in the enterprise, while others use it to describe a web economy platform, or the technological framework behind such a platform.
