Alliance relationship
Software AG is a worldwide expert in XML, Web services, service-oriented architecture (SOA) and business process management (BPM), for deploying state-of-the-art SOA solutions. Software AG’s webMethods BPM suite and CentraSite SOA repository allow users to rapidly and cost effectively create, manage and govern new end to end applications following fundamental SOA principles. CentraSite provides a Web services and SOA asset management platform for full control over loosely coupled services.
Based on open standards, webMethods BPM supports future and legacy systems, allowing equal leverage of all IT assets. ILOG JRules (resold directly by Software AG) extends the webMethods BPM suite with dynamic business rule management capabilities that allow business users to manage business policies independently to applications and processes. By separating the business policy management lifecycle from the application lifecycle, companies can dynamically adjust or integrate new business strategies to rapidly react to changing market conditions and safeguard their competitive advantage.
ILOG contribution
Business rule management systems (BRMS) are essential to BPM applications because they ensure the highest levels of agility and customization. Combined with Software AG’s webMethods BPM suite and CentraSite, ILOG JRules provides significant value, as it enables business users to own and maintain business logic-defined and deployed as reusable and transparent decision services. Using ILOG BRMS, business policies can be managed independently of applications or processes, eliminating the need to make policy changes through traditional software coding or entire business process re-engineering.
Results
ILOG BRMS, combined with Software AG’s BPM, SOA technology and expertise, allows Software AG customers to address the challenges of legacy modernization and provide the agility needed to continuously adjust processes in response to changing business conditions.
