Any migration of real-time applications to the cloud requires a business case which needs to be supported by a road map, a new mindset and life cycles. As RTInsights blogger Tim Vibbert warns here, don’t think moving to the cloud is a panacea for an organization’s existing problems.

In his last RTInsights blog post entitled “Real-Time Communication within Web Applications,” RTInsights blogger Tim Vibbert mentioned the use of a Business Rule Management System (BRMS) for a project that he has been working on for several years for a client. Here, Vibbert reexamines the current implementation of the BRMS.

For the past several years, I have been leading a project focused on managing business rules in conjunction with fitness data management. The nature of the project is to improve the ability to adjust business rules in near real-time. While the current implementation does allow for changing sort types of business rules in near real-time (i.e., those associated with decision tables), the client cannot change calculation formulas or add new business rules within the same time frame.

If an organization is part of a much larger organization, many activities are influenced by the larger parent organization, often slowing down key business processes. Here, RT Insights blogger Tim Vibbert explains the steps the smaller organization should take in order to evolve into a real-time organization.
