BCD-BM

BCD-BM BusinessMirror provides a graphical interface for defining, documenting, and implementing complex business calculation logic.

Today’s business rules go far beyond simple aggregations, and process context must be considered. The more complex the rules, the more expensive and error-prone the implementation becomes. BCD-BusinessMirror keeps your effort and development risks to a minimum.

Unlike many other business rule engines, BCD-BM relies entirely on SQL for its tasks, leveraging your existing storage infrastructure.

Define your logic

The standard approach requires business users to write down calculation logic in their own language. Often they do not fully understand or know the current data and have no access to it. Developers then try to understand the rules and translate them into another language. These detours inevitably lead to flawed implementations, mistrust, and high testing effort. It is also not possible to verify the implementation in detail.

The unique BusinessMirror approach combines documentation and implementation in a single step. Business users who know the data — or are supported by a developer — can define calculation rules in a graphical flowchart. This ensures a shared understanding and delivers documentation without additional effort. It also provides the SQL implementation at the push of a button.

Effort spent on clarification loops, implementation, and testing is reduced to a minimum, often saving 80% of the costs.

Test and verify your logic

Debug your logic on individual process instances.

This core function of BCD-BM is, of course, important when setting up and testing the logic. But it becomes even more important when rolling out the solution in your company and ensuring that numbers are familiar to — and possibly reviewed by — colleagues with the relevant expertise.

Users of the platform gain full transparency into rules and calculations and can confirm that results are correct. Experience shows that over time, use of this function declines while use of the application increases because people know the numbers are correct.
