The Business Rule Approach

Today, a business faces fast changing environments which require frequent adaptations of parts of the business. These adaptations of the business are usually delayed to a great extent by the entailed modification of the business’s applications. Consequently, the business looses much time and money with adapting the applications’ behaviour and therefore cannot keep pace with changing environments. The modification deficiencies commonly result from the distribution of the business logic across the applications. The business rule approach tries to solve these deficiencies. It centralises the business logic and offers the business workers the possibility to modify the business logic on their own. Besides the analysis of the characteristics of the business rule approach, this paper focuses on the consequences of the business rule approach for the development process of applications, the implications on applications, and the advantages and disadvantages for the business.
