RuleBurst announces that SAP endorses its rules based engine technology
Companies to jointly deliver sophisticated business rules-driven enterprise applications, with rapid extensibility of business content
Sydney, Australia, 6 February 2007 - RuleBurst, the fastest growing business rules management systems (BRMS) vendor in the world, today announced its Rules Based Engine Solution is now an SAP Endorsed Business Solution. This endorsement will allow RuleBurst and SAP to jointly market enterprise application solutions based on RuleBurst's powerful Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) rule technology.
The endorsement comes after an extensive selection, certification and qualification process. RuleBurst is also a member of the SAP Industry Value Network for Public Sector and SAP's Enterprise Services Community.
RuleBurst has already secured its first customer through the endorsement, with the Danish Revenue Agency adopting its technology alongside its existing SAP platform. SAP's endorsement of RuleBurst's Rules Based Engine will allow RuleBurst to continue to build on its recent global sales successes which include contracts with the United Kingdom's tax agency, HM Revenue & Customs, the United States' Internal Revenue Service and the Australian Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs.
RuleBurst Chief Executive, Dominic O'Hanlon comments, "This endorsement creates an exciting opportunity for RuleBurst and SAP to combine their capabilities for both public sector and private sector clients.
"SAP provides the best enterprise applications in the world. RuleBurst expands the functionality of these applications by allowing non-technical business staff to define, maintain and deploy additional business rules and policies using the familiar user interface of Microsoft® Office. Together, the two companies provide an unbeatable combination: applications that automate business processes with empowered users who can make faster, more accurate and better auditable decisions," says Mr O'Hanlon.
"The RuleBurst technology allows SAP customers to deploy complex business decisions, functions and interactive questionnaires using the power of SAP NetWeaver," said Kevin Ichhpurani, vice president, Platform Ecosystem, SAP. "Hundreds of partners have embraced SAP NetWeaver, certifying their solutions on the platform and obtaining 'Powered by SAP NetWeaver' status. Endorsed Business Solutions take the depth of integration with SAP to the next level and signify to the customer that the solution complements the SAP product offerings."
"Government, Financial and Commercial customers will now be able to greatly extend their business functionality using state-of-the-art tools rather than teams of expensive programmers. End users will have less information to gather as they interact with customers and citizens. The RuleBurst Engine will automate information capture and decision making so that front line staff can focus on human interaction and value added services."
