What is Rules Management Technology? Rules are essentially instructions that determine the appropriate response or action based on a set of specific conditions. Using rule flows, rule sets, and sophisticated object models, business rules determine appropriate decisions based on corporate policies and procedures that you define. Advisor can handle basic rule sets or complex, high volume transactions that involve multiple steps and layers of regulation.
