Business Rules represent core organizational concepts and policies. They are basic "vocabulary" and logic that control or guide business behavior. They indicate what is possible or desirable in running a business - and what is not. They are the essence of business know-how.
In many organizations, vital rules are locked away in legacy systems - or in the heads of a few critical workers. The first challenge is simply tracking them down, determining spheres of influence, and documenting them. After the rules inventory is conducted, then corporate rules can be deployed far more rapidly and effectively than most professionals have even begun to imagine.

EcomNets Business Rules Integration Methodology ( EBRIM )
An increasingly competitive business environment and heightened focus on the customer have driven companies to leverage technology resources in new and creative ways. Factors such as changing consumer expectations, and hyper-competitive business cycles, all force companies to continuously automate business processes and customer interactions, while also ensuring that these processes are adaptive and flexible to meet changing needs. The result is a development, integration and maintenance challenge that can be addressed only by an intelligent mix of architecture, technology and methodology.
EBRIM software provides a single business rule platform for all your business rules integration needs. Built to accelerate rules integration, it lets you create reusable services from your valuable rules functionality. With EBRIM integration software, you can quickly execute current business rules while incrementally building the foundation for future business rules projects.
The EBRIM products are targeted at organizations (including financial services, insurance, transportation, manufacturing, telecommunications, and government agencies) or IT architecture groups within these organizations attempting to solve a range of Business Rules integration problems.
The EBRIM is designed to help companies increase the speed of business rules development, reduce the business risk associated with application downtime and changing technologies, and provide a structure for deploying complex applications into a managed environment. It helps customers ensure the availability and performance of the business rules system and look under the covers to help diagnose problems or potential problems.
The separation of business rules from data and application layers should facilitate change, promote reuse, minimize redundancy and permit heterogeneity and scalability of the technical architecture.
