z/TPF Application Modernization using Standard and Open Middleware

Using WebSphere Operational Decision Management to apply business rules

Business rules encapsulate organizational policies and the operational decisions associated with those policies. By externalizing functions used to enact these policies and decisions into business rules, we provide the ability for these functions to be deployed, monitored, and maintained separately from the core application code. This in turn allows greater business agility by reducing the amount of time and effort needed to update the rules governing those decisions.
