Advantages
The adoption of business rules adds another tier to systems that automate business processes. Compared to traditional systems, this approach has the following major advantages,
- lowers the cost incurred in the modification of business logic
- shortens development time
- rules are externalized and easily shared among multiple applications
- changes can be made faster and with less risk
Business rules represent a natural step in the application of computer technology aimed at enhancing productivity in the workplace. Automated business processes that have business logic embedded inside often take substantial time to change, and such changes can be prone to errors. And in a world where the life cycle of business models has greatly shortened, it has become increasingly critical to be able to adapt to changes in external environments promptly. These needs are addressed by a business rules approach.
Business rules enhance business agility. And the manageability of business processes also increases as rules become more accessible.
