Acquire’s Business Rules Module: More than a Rule Based System

Cincom’s Business Rules module is unlike most rule-based systems. Few business rules modules use channel collaboration works to achieve the most efficient balance with business, using tools that they already know, to create expert Channel Collaboration Management applications using drag-and-drop graphical modeling tools.

While most business rules modules have a core system of knowledge management, Cincom’s is based on a centrally managed knowledge-base, allowing users to automate complex, expert driven processes. While the processes can vary among businesses, the benchmark for such systems is providing recommendations, diagnosing problems, complex decision making, and product / process configuration.

Instead of being just another “rule-based system,” this Business Rules module facilitates knowledge capture with unique graphical knowledge representation, structuring, and acquisition methods that allow you to maintain and change rules easily and quickly, without the need for IT experts.

Here are some of the features of the Cincom Business Rules Module for Acquire:
