Haley Wins in Comparison Study of BRMS Solutions

"Businesses continue to strive for shorter time to market and to lower the cost of developing and maintaining computer applications to support their operations," noted the report's author Ian Graham, TriReme's Chief Technical Officer and Principal Consultant and an authority on object-modeling, user interface design and knowledge based systems. "Business rules management systems can play an important role in this."

The report states that "HaleyAuthority is significantly different from all competitors. The system can really understand natural language expressions, as opposed to pseudo-English in place of pseudo-code. It is especially easy to use when making changes to the rules once the knowledge base has been built." It also indicated that "Haley's footprints for the rules repository and rules engine are small and enable the system to be deployed on a wide range of platforms including, for example, Palm Pilots and Windows CE devices."

"We concluded that HaleyAuthority will fit well into development environments where business experts or non-technical business analysts need to create, maintain, or test the business rules that reflect evolving business policy. This is absolutely necessary when policies change rapidly and time-to-market may not be sacrificed to the application backlog," cites Ian Graham. "We were most impressed by HaleyAuthority's genuine natural language syntax for rules and its totally transparent code generation. It also scores well in terms of price, performance and memory utilization."

"From new product proliferation to regulatory compliance, today's IT organizations are seriously challenged to more closely align their infrastructures and procedures to respond to business needs faster and with greater flexibility," said Mark Juliano, president and CEO of Haley Systems, Inc. "As underscored in the TriReme report, HaleyAuthority's natural language understanding uniquely enables non-technical business users to create, maintain and test business rules that reflect evolving business policy using free-form English. As a result, business users gain greater control and avoid programming backlogs to make changes happen faster."
