Final step
BRMS allows you to capture, store and manage rules in a transparent way. Business rules are separated from the application code. With the externalization of rules, organizations no longer have to depend upon IT experts to apply changes to the policies.

The significance of BRMS can be gauged from what experts (Gartner’s Jim Sinur) have to say:
“…customers are keen to move to service-oriented architectures capable of rapidly implementing process change by using rules-based engines.”
