Yep, we have done it again. Today we announce the latest release of the new Progress Corticon Business Rules Engine (BRE), which has a proven track record of enabling IT and business professionals to collaborate on decision making with unparalleled speed and agility. Corticon allows companies to externalize the decision logic from the application code to quickly make the necessary changes to respond to regulatory demands, corporate compliance or competitive threats.

Each release continues to build on the market-leading BRE that has been successfully deployed in over 500 companies worldwide. In addition, the product performance and features have made it a favorite for many partners globally, who are using BRE as an integral part of their application modernization projects.

In this latest release, Corticon’s features include:

  • Web Console support for in-process deployment, allowing for the management and monitoring of the server
  • Capturing of rule messages to a database, allowing a business analyst to audit a decision service to meet compliance requirements or help diagnose runtime errors
  • Easy generation of  rule sheets from simple spreadsheets or actuarial table
  • Ability to limit database metadata import with the Corticon Enterprise Data Connector (EDC) to only the required vocabulary
  • EDC Support for MYSQL 5.6

A 2015 survey of IT professionals indicated that the top priority for application development was dealing with Changing Requirements. In fact, 62% of the respondents were unhappy with their current change-management methods. When probed, they stated that updating hard-coded business rule changes in applications was one of the top three challenges demanding considerable IT resources. This is especially painful in highly-regulated industries like healthcare, government, insurance and financial services. As a result, they are actively looking for alternatives.

Corticon provides that solution for them. Because of its intuitive nature, IT and business professionals can build, develop, test and deploy rules on the platform of their choice in minutes and hours—versus typically days for hard-coded business logic.
