5 Introduction ILOG has worked for many years to make the market-leading business rule management system (BRMS). JRules makes business rule management practical by providing innovative tools to author, deploy and manage business rules across the enterprise. This is why it has become an essential part of the IT infrastructures of hundreds of businesses worldwide, and the list of customers continues to grow with each passing quarter. reputation has resulted in the BRMS s inclusion in the SD Times 100 and the Crossroads A-List. It has received the Intelligent Enterprise Editor s Choice Award and Software Development magazine s Productivity Award, among other top industry honors. Major IT research firms recognize as a market leader. Gartner has listed it in the Magic Quadrant for Business Rule Engines in every version of the Magic Quadrant, and Giga, Butler Group and Bloor Research all recommend specifically for business rule management. IDC identifies ILOG as the overall leader in market share for the BRMS market. Why does hold this commanding position among business rule management systems? Put simply, has strengths that taken together are unsurpassed in the marketplace. The Five Strengths strengths begin with its comprehensive feature set. provides tools and rule languages that help policy managers, business analysts and developers author, deploy and manage business rules. It also includes a repository to store and protect business rules, a powerful rule engine to execute rules, and an extensive Java library to define and extend rule execution and management environments. Another major strength is reliability. The combination of high performance and robustness make the product s rule engine the one to depend on with mission-critical business applications, regardless of the throughput requirements. All the components in are based on the latest standards for J2EE, XML, Web services and even rule engines (e.g., JSR94). It is designed to fit into a modern computing environment seamlessly and efficiently, so there is no need for a custom or proprietary interface or adapter ILOG S.A. All rights reserved
6 is customizable and extensible to an unprecedented degree. Practically every feature provided out of the box can be customized. The tools, repository and engine are all supported with rich APIs, and frameworks that enable their extension programmatically. has achieved an impressive track record over the last several years. A contributing factor is the stability of its maker -- ILOG --both from a financial and an organizational standpoint. There are also its blue-chip references. is employed across the enterprise at leading companies around the world in finance, government, telecommunications, insurance, e-businesses and manufacturing. And this list is growing fast. fifth major strength is its complete offering. is not just software and documentation, although the software is award winning, and its documentation comprehensive and educational. ILOG provides maintenance services and technical support, classroom and onsite training, solution frameworks and product consulting. ILOG provides all the software and services needed to successfully apply business rule management. Strength 1: Comprehensive Feature Set provides tools and rule languages that help policy managers, business analysts and developers author, deploy, and manage business rules. It also includes a repository to store and protect business rules; a powerful rule engine to execute rules; and an extensive Java library to define and extend the rule execution and management environments. Each of these major component areas is rich with features.

10 Strength 2: Reliability Another primary reason why ILOG customers select over other BRMSs is its reliability. The three aspects of reliability most cited are rule execution speed, rule engine robustness, and a dedication to industry standards apparent throughout the software. Rule execution speed In a recent lab test, ILOG personnel measured the execution speed of the ILOG JRules rule engine. The rule set for the test consisted of 1,500 rules. Each rule used five conditions to assign one of five actions to a sales item, based on the characteristics of the item. A total of 10,000 sales items were included in the test. Three execution modes were run in the test: inferencing, inferencing with bytecode generation, and sequential. Rule execution by inferencing used the highly advanced RETE algorithm to efficiently match rule conditions to the sales items. During inferencing, all the rules were reactive to data change and became applicable when the conditions were verified. A rule selection strategy was used to select the rules to execute. Inferencing with bytecode generation added a just-in-time optimization step that translated test evaluations into efficient Java bytecode before execution. (Bytecode generation is an optional enhancement for the inferencing mode.) Sequential execution applied a brute-force approach to the rule evaluation. In this mode, rules were evaluated and executed in a predefined order, and the rule selection strategy was discarded. Usually, the characteristics of a rule set make it executable with either inferencing or sequential mode, but not both. In this case, the test r ule set was designed so that both inferencing and sequential exec ution modes could be applied and compared. Execution Mode Execution Speed (rules per second) Inferencing 22.7K Inferencing w/ bytecode generation 68.6K Sequential 384K K = Thousand (Tests conducted on a Sun Blade 1000 running Solaris 8 with 1.5 GBytes of memory) Running the test produced an execution speed of 22,700 rules per second for pure inferencing. Adding bytecode generation produced a 3X increase to 68,600 rules per 2004 ILOG S.A. All rights reserved
11 second. Switching to sequential mode increased performance enormously, to an execution speed of 384,000 rules per second. A Scalable BRMS is being successfully applied across business applications varying greatly in operating profile and performance requirements. This point is illustrated in the following table of examples taken from real deployments by customers: Application Type Rules Operating Profile Straight Through Processing: Data 1K 2-2.5K orders/day, 2M Validation, Confirmation, Order rules/day Routing and Message Transformation Asset Management: Validation and K validations/hour Consolidation Credit Qualification K records/sec, 130K rules/sec Automatic Trading rules/sec Automatic Trading trades/sec Order Validation and Routing 60 2K orders/day Mediation 6K 10M transactions/hour Claim Assignment K claims/day Welfare Benefit Eligibility 300 >300 rules/sec Loan Acquisition and Servicing 200 5M loans/day Claim Validation and Routing claims/sec, 1M claims/month Transaction Validation and Routing 8K 120K transactions/day Order Management 1.8K 20K transactions/day Content Routing K-250K messages/day Automobile Financing 100 Up to 40K requests/day Reservation Data cleansing 1.6K 16K reservations/day K = Thousand M = Million has been proven stable and reliable from proof of concept to deployment of mission-critical business applications operating in a 24x7x365 environments.

14 Strength 4: Track Record Stability of ILOG For more than 10 years, ILOGʹs innovative enterprise-class software components and services have helped companies maximize their business agility and improve operating efficiency. Over 1,000 global corporations and more than 300 leading software vendors rely on ILOGʹs business rule, optimization and visualization technologies to achieve dramatic returns on investment, create market-defining products and services, and sharpen their competitive edge. ILOG has had the same chief executive since the company s inception, and its employee turnover rate is well below the industry average. For R&D in particular, it is well below 5 percent. Blue Chip references Here are what CIOs of major companies have to say about : We selected because of its rich user interface, and its business approach that puts the power of the customization in the user s hands. The performance and scalability of were other key reasons. Liz Shuttleworth, CIO, Radian Guaranty Sometimes I walk out of my office and see a group of customers actively playing at a time that used to be slow. And I say to myself, they wouldn t be here now if it weren t for the one-off promotions I can do with our rules system. Tim Stanley, CIO, Harrah s Entertainment Using, we will have a solution that will scale as our business requirements change while supporting CitiStreetʹs need to exchange and manage employee information in real time. - Andy Marsh, CIO, Total Benefits Outsourcing, CitiStreet Growing customer base ILOG s customer base for has experienced double-digit growth in the last three years, with no letup in sight.
