Catch Me Live at the 9th International Business Rules Forum, Nov. 7th, 2006

Dietrich Kappe, Tuesday, May 23, 2006 @ 9:00 am

I'll be speaking at the 9th International Business Rules Forum in Washington, D.C. on November 7th. The title of my talk is
Beyond the Magic Quadrant: How to Evaluate and Select the Perfect BRE for Your Project. From the abstract:

You’ve been asked to select a BRE for your
company. You have Gartner’s magic quadrant, a pile of brochures, and
your head is spinning from demos. Which BRE do you pick? What’s
important? This presentation consolidates the experiences and lessons
from BRE selections in industries including healthcare, insurance and
media. It gives a no-nonsense explanation of how you might use a BRE
and investigates criteria that should be a part of any selection
process, such as the ability to scale as the number of rules and facts
increases. Finally, a practical evaluation approach and an example test
scenario will be presented. What you will learn:

• Patterns for use: what is a BRE and how exactly do you integrate it into your enterprise?
• The four criteria that absolutely must be part of your evaluation process
• A hands-on approach to evaluating BRE’s
• How to build an evaluation scenario that is representative of your business but doesn’t reveal trade secrets to the vendor
• Beyond
  the Engine: are IDE’s, Rule Repositories, and Pseudo Natural Language
  Rules useful, bell and whistles, or switching costs designed to tie you
  into a particular vendor?
