JBoss BRMS is a platform for business rules management and complex event processing that is used to host an organization's business rules and to make business decisions based on those rules, as an alternative to coding them directly in applications. The complementary technologies help organizations respond to changing market conditions faster and easier through advanced decision and process automation capabilities, and empower business users to make the necessary changes without requiring IT to manually rewrite application code.</p><p>Organizations are under constant pressure to remain competitive and compliant in a changing business environment. Manually incorporating changes into critical IT applications can be costly and time consuming, and can introduce the risk of error and inconsistency. BPM and BRM systems play a critical role in automating workflows to maintain consistent and accurate decisions throughout an organization. By creating an environment in which business and IT users can collaborate quickly and effectively, these systems improve the ability of a business to quickly incorporate changes into their application infrastructure.</p><p><a href="http://www.newsfactor.com/news/Red-Hat-Debuts-Open-Source-BPM/story.xhtml?story_id=100005VU9CVC">Keep reading...</a></p>
