Business Rules: White Sands, by Sharon Gee


Business Rules
Increasingly aggressive competition fostered by e-business, and the need to rapidly develop and release new product offerings, makes change an ever more important and regular feature of business life.  Mergers and acquisitions, new regulatory rules, and the need to cut costs to bolster dwindling profit margins all add to the change imperative.

Business agility — the ability of a business to effect rapid change while managing the risks and reducing the costs of that change — is a characteristic feature of many of today’s most successful organizations.  Knowco Business Rules consulting services are designed to help our clients build business and IT architectures that better support rapid change — transforming change from a challenge to a distinct competitive advantage.

The benefits of a the business rules approach include:

  • Handing control of the business rules to the business staff who operate and oversee the business;
  • Freeing IT staff to concentrate on IT issues, and business staff to focus on business issues;

  • Increased application developer productivity;
  • Reduced system development and costs and time scales;
