Summary:

One Decision Maker’s response to RuleGuide as a Service,
“I like the low cost, low hassle, big benefits”.

The RuleGuide Software as a Service (SaaS) model includes the use of RuleGuide decision and rule management software, scaled for a Business Unit to Enterprise level for the term of the hosting. Servers are sized per client requirements for the number of users, traffic estimates, and information storage requirements.

Subscribing to hosted Software as a Service (SaaS) is a norm today for most companies. Large and small companies are taking advantage of substantial cost savings and efficiencies of the SaaS approach.

"New Wisdom LLC

I have an update on the RuleGuide™ product from New Wisdomrecently. I blogged about RuleGuide back in 2009. The product started with a focus on business rule management for the business team – allowing them to create a container of rules to pass to the IT group for implementation in a Business Rules Management System. Today, RuleGuide business rules projects tend to be more strategic with broader scope and a focus on deployment of those rules in reusable Decision Services. This pushes the focus to the business rule lifecycle, to decisions and to business rule metadata. These changes drive a need for an enterprise repository with more scalability, better communication, and more transparency. Over time the repository and its ability to support a true rule management strategy has become the focus.

The current product is aimed squarely at helping business people manage multiple rules-based projects across an enterprise. The repository is designed to be a definitive source of information about decisions, rules, terms and their relationships – including their relationships to processes. It supports real-time collaboration, wide accessibility and governance/controls."
