BPMN process
Rules in Excel/Openoffice or inside IDE
Using BPM and/or a rule engine inside the system gives more flexibility to and makes
easier analysts’ activities.
Using rules externally, defined by the components, increases the maintainability of the
services and improves their adaptability to new business requirements.
