FICO™ Blaze Advisor® business rules management

• Make faster, more consistent business decisions
  Automation of decision processes minimizes the need for manual reviews, while ensuring consistency. The Blaze Advisor system delivers the highest decision processing speeds, for any number of rules at any level of complexity.
• Change rules quickly with improved business agility
  Blaze Advisor is the most advanced, trusted and agile BRMS on the market. It is a complete tool for developing, simulating, optimizing and implementing rule changes faster than the competition, so you can respond quickly to changes in market dynamics.
• Reduce time to market
  Blaze Advisor helps you go to market quickly with application development that is 25% faster than conventional methods. Instead of coding rules in programming languages, new applications are developed using a rules language that closely approximates how business people think about their business, reducing the opportunity for errors or misunderstanding. Business users can change rules at any time, without disrupting operations and without IT assistance.
• Reduce total cost of ownership
  With an easy-to-use interface, natural language business rules and open architecture, Blaze Advisor helps you reduce operational costs. Reduce your initial costs by up to 80% with quicker and more accurate development of applications. Reduce maintenance costs by up to 75% with business users doing most of the updates and enhancements.

• Provides an integrated environment for development, authoring and testing
  Multiple methods can be used for rule creation and management, including decision trees, scorecards, decision tables, formula builder, graphical decision flows and customized templates.
• Facilitates collaboration
  The Blaze Advisor system's enterprise rule repository enables developers to work in a coordinated manner as teams and leverage each other's work by sharing and reusing rules, rule sets, rule flows and object models. Additionally, project comparison of two projects in the same repository or across repositories identifies all the differences, with information on how they are different.
• Enables users to add and manage an unlimited number of rules
  Groups of rules can be defined and maintained in easy-to-use constructs such as decision tables and decision trees.
• Monitors decision performance
  Blaze Advisor monitors the business performance captured through user-defined events, providing the building blocks for strategy orchestration and champion/challenger strategies.
• Simulates results
  The Decision Simulator module uses historical data to analyze the potential business impact of rules prior to moving them into production. Its wizards, pre-packaged templates and reports make it easy for business users to flexibly configure and run simulations for their specific needs. For more information, please refer to the FAQ.
• Runs on an open system
  The Blaze Advisor system's open architecture enables ease of integration with any computing environment and accepts inputs from multiple databases, XML documents, Java objects, .NET/COM objects, and COBOL copybooks.
• Executes rules based on the most advanced inferencing technology
  Blaze Advisor makes exclusive use of Rete III, the most advanced commercially available inference engine, which benchmarks more than 300% faster than competitive engines at the highest levels of complexity.
• Provides complete rule tracking and version control
  Blaze Advisor keeps track of changes to rules over time, allowing viewing of past versions, audits of who made changes at what time, and return to previous versions if necessary. Security and locking mechanisms allow organizations to manage simultaneous user changes from multiple locations without conflict.
