The Arigoo Business Rules Engine (BRE) is a revolutionary new enhancement from Arigoo that provides a natural English-language like definition of business rules. It enables all your applications to utilize a single and centralized set of rules stored in our Business Rules Engine. Among the benefits of using the Business Rules Engine include :


Allows non-technical personnel to design complex business processes
Indeed, without writing a single line of code, any non-technical personnel can construct complex conditions in Arigoo's Business Rule Engine by dragging and dropping keywords to construct English-like phrases.


Stores and represents rules in easy to understand natural language (English like sentences)
All rules that are created are always represented as English-like sentences. This makes organization's business rules always in layman-readable format and easily understandable by anyone in your organization. In turn, this will also make it very easy for your users to edit and manage these business rules.



Isolated repository independent from Flowtrix application
The benefit of having all your business rules stored in an isolated repository independent from the Flowtrix application is that your business rules can then be edited with as little impact as possible to your other objects.  For example, having business rules for a leave application workflow stored independently from the workflow itself allows your end users to change the behavior of the leave application process without having to even modify your workflow template.


Reusable business rules: A single repository for all your organization's rules
The Arigoo Business Rules Engine allows the end-user to access the business rules as XML, or over a webservice. This means that when you have defined all your organization's rules, other applications from other vendors can even tap into the repository to share the business rules you have created. This reusability features allows a single point of storage for business rules, hence making it easy to edit your business rules and then have the changes propagate to ALL applications sharing the repository.


Provides a set of tools that manage and test the validity of your business rules
Having business rules sometimes is not enough. Adequate testing must be done on these business rules to make sure there aren't any conflicting rules, or rules that leave 'holes' in the process logic. Thankfully, Flowtrix provides a tool called the "Decision Table", that represents all possible combinations of your rules in a tabular format so that you can easily spot any unhandled scenarios and correct them accordingly.  Flowtrix also provides a feature called the "Test rule" that allows end-users to run the rule against all other existing rules to make sure that there are no conflicts with older rules.

Deep integration with Flowtrix objects
The deep integration with Flowtrix workflows, forms and documents means that your business rules can be used at any part of the system to perform fine-grain control of your business processes. In fact, the BRE is powerful enough to even allow you to generate an entire workflow without the workflow GUI designer.

Provides controlled modification of Business Rules
With access security built-in to each and every single business rule, modification of business rules can only be performed by authorized persons. Every modification is also audited and logged automatically by Flowtrix.
