What People Say

"OpenRules have the most-aggressive approaches to business-expert authoring and typically requires less developer support than IBM ILOG, FICO Blaze Advisor, and JBoss BRMS"
"Market Overview: Business Rules Platforms 2011", Forrester Research, July, 2011

"Thank you for developing such groundbreaking software capabilities"
Smooth Profit Accelerators, StephenKClark@yahoo.com

"On behalf of Larry Goldberg and myself, we are so thrilled with OpenRules-6 capability! It moves the business rules approach into the realm of decision management and up the organizational maturity level." Barbara von Halle, co-author of "The Decision Model", founder of KPI

"In addition to the very accomplished rules engine that is OpenRules, very convincing is the optimization tool, and automatic rules generation capability. These tools could be the foundation of automated test case generation, as well as the autonomic improvement of business decisions that we look for in level 5 of the Business Decision Maturity Model. The depth of the OpenRules product never fails to amaze me."  Larry Goldberg, co-author of "The Decision Model", a partner at KPI

"The OpenRules engine is very intuitive, and powerful, at the same time. It enables our product specialists to implement new business rules themselves, in Excel files, as opposed to having to work with a software specialist, which inevitably takes more time. Furthermore, the support has been fantastic!" Peter Link, Regal Beloit Corporation, Peter.Link@regalbeloit.com

"Thanks so much for your help!  The support I get for this framework (for free!) was the deciding factor to go with this BRMS, as opposed to JBoss Rules/Drools, Jess, or ILOG JRules." David Rosenfield, The Lafayette Life Insurance Company, david.rosenfield@lafayettelife.com

"We use OpenRules as part of a hospital infection surveillance application, with rules designed to identify suspicious lab results based on a variety of clinician-defined conditions.  We found the tool easy to incorporate into our J2EE application and easy to customize. Our clients love the ability to compose rules in Microsoft Excel, a fact that is an instant hit whenever we demonstrate it."  Bimal R. Desai, MD, MBI, Pediatrician, Clinical Informaticist, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia

"The more I use OpenRules, the more respect and admiration I have for what you have accomplished.  Thank you for your prompt and cogent replies to every one of my inquiries!" Christopher Skelly, Senior SOA/BPM Architect, Insight Resource, Inc.

"The latest OpenRules advances allow us to dramatically minimize the size of our rules repository.  Rule templates become a blessing for our complex patent processing rules that have to support data streams from more than 80 different countries." Rex Bosma, Manager of Data Flow Operations, European Patent Office

"OpenRules is an example of a rules-based OSS BI application. It offers a methodology, along with OSS tools and professional services for business analysts rather than or in concert with developers. This is an interesting approach and an approach that will be important in the long run to grow all categories of OSS applications."
Dennis Byron, Analyst, ebizQ, review "Open Source Business Intelligence Megatrends"

"The biggest advantage of using OpenRules Engine lies in its flexibility to change the business rules in the Excel sheet at run time and have these reflected in the application – requiring no additional build, deployment or server startup. Add to that, the fact that it easily integrates with existing web applications also results in a smaller learning curve and easier adoption."  P.N.Subramanian, pn.subramanian@gmail.com

"I enjoyed working with you and your software and I will definitely be looking for further opportunities to apply OpenRules."  Mark Holt, Lead Technical Architect, ABN AMRO, London

"Thanx heaps, you guys are really great and full marks for being Proactive!"
Don Whiteside, Solution Architect, Vero Insurance New Zealand Limited 

"What a cool way of creating a comfortable middle-ground between business and technical rules-based development."
Tim Rohde, E2P

"Thank you very much for your kind assistance. After applying the changes suggested by you, I was able to run my BEA application successfully. I am greatly impressed by the way support was provided."
Nitesh Gautam, netgautam@yahoo.com

"Two factors make OpenRules immediately appealing - using Excel as the rules store and the excellent documentation available."
Dammian Miller, http://shinetech.com/

"Wow! Excellent job. Now with OpenRules 2.1.0 , I'm able to compile and run the demos, both on Mac OS X and on Linux (Mandrake). As a test, I tried making some modifications to both the Java source files and the XLS file (using OpenOffice.org) in the HelloJava demo, and had no problems getting it to rebuild and run. Now that I can actually run the examples I can see that it's every bit as slick as I was hoping it would be. The distribution structure is definitely more multi-platform friendly. Kudos to the developers for making these changes so quickly."
Steve Jakob, http://www.wideskies.ca/

"I am glad to report that problem was solved by your proposal and Japanese was displayed correctly. As the result, everyone can make a Web application in a Japanese environment by using OpenRules. We express our sincere gratitude for your cooperation."
Hiromi Okada, http://www.blowline.co.jp

"I've successfully deployed several Web services in an evaluation prototype using OpenRules 2.0, and defining datatypes in Excel. I'm interested in using pre-existing Java classes with the OpenRules decision tables and methods, to facilitate communication of the Web services with other services and components in the overall process."
