Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Business rules engine" in English language version.
Rules engines have been around since the early 1990s when companies such as Pegasystems Inc. in Cambridge, Mass., Fair Isaac Corp. in Minneapolis and ILOG in Mountain View, Calif., sold them. They were typically used in rules-heavy industries such as finance and insurance. Over the past few years, however, many vendors have entered the market, and more companies are looking at rules engines as a way to gain greater flexibility in business operations.
