What are Rule Based Systems?

Key Benefits

Capture expertise currently stored in various locations including the minds of your personnel.
Disseminate this expertise via a computer system that makes it available 24 hours a day to new personnel, or personnel who are not qualified to be domain experts.
Isolate complex business rules from user interface and database connectivity code to ease the process of verification and simplify system maintenance.

Capabilities

Knowledge Acquisition
We work with the end user and by watching them perform their duties, help them design a system solution that meets their requirements. Part of the knowledge acquisition process is educating the domain experts about the purpose of the application and how it will benefit them.
Business Rule Isolation
Business rules are isolated from the large amount of code that is required to manage the user interface and database connectivity. This makes the process of understanding, validating, and maintaining business rules much simpler. Changes to business tactics can be made quickly and frequently without the possibility of introducing errors in other components of the application.
Fuzzy Logic
Rule based systems lend themselves well to solving problems were all of the input variables may not be known, or the validity of the data may be verifiable to varying degrees. Fuzzy logic can be used to infer a result based on heuristic rules that a human expert might use to find a workable solution.
System Documentation
All applications are documented at the code level as well as using Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams to create system maps for management as well as for developers. This proven process allows us to validate data and business logic flow while building the application. It also allows us to return to an application, sometimes after many years, and make changes in an efficient manner with a clear understanding of what changes are required upstream and downstream from the component being modified.
