For over 20 years, OpenRules^® has helped organizations worldwide incorporate sophisticated business logic into their decision-making applications. Major corporations and government agencies rely on OpenRules in mission-critical production environments. See what our customers say.

Launched in 2003 as a Business Rules Management System, OpenRules has evolved into a leading Decision Intelligence Platform that seamlessly integrates Business Rules, Machine Learning, and Decision Optimization.

OpenRules enables modern enterprises to create intelligent operational decision services and rapidly update underlying business logic as market conditions change.

OpenRules enables subject matter experts—no programming required—to capture business logic in intuitive decision tables and execute it with a high-performance Decision Engine. Users build, test, maintain, and deploy decision models seamlessly across cloud and on-premises environments. The result: decision services that start instantly, execute in milliseconds, and run with a minimal memory footprint.

OpenRules Decision Intelligence Platform includes the following components:

Integrated Decision Modeling Environment: a graphical interface to allow business users to build, test, debug, analyze, and deploy complex decision models
Rule Engine: executes business rules with ultimate performance and scalability
Rule Learner: extracts business rules from historical data
Rule Solver: solves decision optimization problems
Decision Playground: enables business users to explore, compare, and refine decisions recommended by existing decision models
Rule DB: communicates with relational databases
Decision Service Deployment and Orchestration.

OpenRules is designed for collaboration between subject matter experts (business users) and software developers. The platform eliminates the need for specialized rule languages or proprietary graphical interfaces, allowing customers to work within familiar paradigms. Users can simply leverage familiar tools like MS Excel® or Google Sheets® along with standard file managers to edit and execute their rules.

Alternatively, they can take advantage of the Graphical Decision Modeling Environment, which automatically builds Decision Diagrams and includes a powerful graphical Rule Debugger that executes rules step-by-step, simplifying the analysis of complex decision models.

Decision models created and tested with OpenRules integrate seamlessly into your decision-making applications without restrictions. Deploy them as containerized decision services using AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, RESTful Web Services, Spark, Docker, and Kubernetes—on any popular cloud platform.

Competitively priced, OpenRules is built for modern serverless architecture and deploys seamlessly across cloud containers, on-premise infrastructure, and mobile platforms.
