Chapter 1. Introduction

1.1. About Red Hat JBoss BRMS

Red Hat JBoss BRMS is an open source decision management platform that combines Business Rules Management and Complex Event Processing. It automates business decisions and makes that logic available to the entire business.

Red Hat JBoss BRMS uses a centralized repository where all resources are stored. This ensures consistency, transparency, and the ability to audit across the business. Business users can modify business logic without requiring assistance from IT personnel.

Business Resource Planner is included with this release.

Red Hat JBoss BRMS is supported for use with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (RHEL7).
