Business Rules Engine in Public Sector

Business Rules Engine comprises a suite of services, components, and objects that perform calculations and automate policy decisions. For example, use Business Rules Engine to automatically determine whether applicants qualify for unemployment insurance, small business loans, business licenses, or other public sector programs and services. Create business rules to automate the calculation of qualified benefit amounts, application fees, or other amounts based on input criteria.

The key elements of Business Rules Engine are expression sets and decision matrices.

Expression Sets

Expression sets perform a series of calculations using matrix lookups and user-defined variables and constants. Specifically, expression sets call decision matrices, which are tables that allow you to implement complex rules in a systematic, readable way.

Decision Matrices

Decision matrices match input values to a table row and return the row’s output values. Expression sets and decision matrices accept JSON input from, and return JSON output to, Omniscripts.

Optionally, after you set up your business rule, use Decision Explainer to gain insights into the results of automatic calculations.
