BankBroker's Robust Rules Engines

In order to make our software flexible and adaptable, we've built it so that critical parts of it run on top of a "rules engine."  A rules engine is a standard piece of software we wrote that takes rules as input and makes deicsions about how to process your business in BankBroker based on those rules.  So for example, when we decide who should get credit for a transaction for commissions purposes, we consult a rules data base and determine from the logic in that rule who and how much to credit each employee.  Likewise, we consult  rules to determine how to route important documents in your company, how to update data coming from third party data sources, and how to format extracts and reports for you.  A rules engine is a complex component of software which we have written to optimize the operations and flexibility of the BankBroker software. To see how this back-end technology comes out in the wash, you can take a look at how commissions accounting and data integration are impacted by our rules engines.
