For 20+ years, OpenRules^® helps organizations worldwide to incorporate sophisticated business logic into their decision-making applications. OpenRules started in 2003 as a Business Rules Management System with a powerful Rule Engine, and over years became a popular Decision Intelligence Platform with well-integrated Business Rules, Machine Learning, and Optimization components. OpenRules has a proven track record of being used for years by major corporations and government agencies in real-world decision-making environments.

OpenRules helps you to automate Complex Business Logic to make better day-by-day Operational Decisions in a cost-effective way!

Business Rules + Machine Learning + Optimization

The main objective of OpenRules Platform: “Help modern enterprises to create Intelligent Operational Decision Services and quickly update underlying business logic as market conditions change.“

OpenRules provides subject matter experts with all necessary means to represent their business logic using intuitive decision tables and execute them using a highly efficient Decision Engine. They can develop, test, and maintain domain-specific business decision models and easily deploy them on-cloud or on-premise.

Major OpenRules components:

Integrated Decision Modeling Environment: a graphical interface to allow business users to build, test, debug, analyze, and deploy complex decision models
Rule Engine: executes business rules with ultimate performance and scalability
Rule Learner: extracts business rules from historical data
Rule Solver: solves decision optimization problems
Rule DB: communicates with relational databases
Decision Service Deployment and Orchestration.

OpenRules is oriented to subject matter experts (business users) working in concert with software developers. OpenRules doesn’t force its customers to learn special rule languages or proprietary graphical interfaces. They may simply use familiar MS Excel^® or Google Sheets^® and the standard file manager to edit and execute their rules. Still, they may take advantage of the Graphical Decision Modeling Environment that automatically builds Decision Diagrams and includes a powerful graphical Rule Debugger capable of executing rules one-by-one by essentially simplifying the analysis of complex decision models.

Decision models created and tested with OpenRulesdo not impose any restrictions on your decision-making business applications. They can be naturally deployed as containerized decision services using AWS Lambdas, MS Azure Functions, RESTful Web Services, Spark, Docker, and Kubernetes on any popular cloud framework.

OpenRulesis reasonably priced and perfectly fits the requirements of the modern serverless architecture. It is well-positioned to be used on any cloud container, on-premise, and on smartphones.
