Capture, automate, and reuse your business processes in a clear English language that your computer can understand.
In business, a lot of
actions are trigged by rules: “Order more ice cream when the stock is
below 100 units and temperature is above 25° C”, “Approve credit card
application when the credit background check is OK, past relationship
with the customer is profitable, and identity is confirmed”, and so on.
Traditional computer programming languages make it difficult to
translate this “natural language” into a software program. But JBoss
Rules (also known as Drools) enables anybody with basic IT skills and
an understanding of the business to turn statements such as these into
running computer code.
This book will teach you to specify
business rules using JBoss Drools, and then put them into action in
your business. You will be able to create rules that trigger actions
and decisions, based on data that comes from a variety of sources and
departments right across your business. Regardless of the size of your
business, you can make your processes more effective and manageable by
adopting JBoss Rules.
By the end of the book you will know exactly how to harness the power of JBoss Rules in your business.
