REDWOOD CITY, CA — (Marketwire) — 07/26/11 — , a leading provider of business rules management systems (BRMS), today announced that , the largest national online retailer of cellular phones and wireless plans, has selected Corticon-s rules engine to simplify and enhance its online purchase process. Simplexity expects that automating its complex business rules with Corticon will accelerate activation rates, while increasing profitability for its popular cell phone store, , as well as the thousands of partner and affiliate websites it supports.
“Corticon-s was the right alternative to the sophisticated rules hard-coded into our existing applications,” said Michael Berkley, Chief Information Officer of Simplexity. “After an exhaustive evaluation of competitive offerings, we selected Corticon for its rich modeling methodology, comprehensive rule integrity testing, and raw performance.”
Simplexity-s existing process for qualifying a new customer requires the involvement of valuable IT resources when changes are desired. With Corticon-s , Simplexity-s business team will now have the power to quickly implement many of its desired changes in response to the rapidly changing wireless marketplace, and without the assistance of any technical staff. Simplexity-s expectation is that developing applications with Corticon will be at least 50 percent faster than traditional programming-based approaches, and will enable internal users to easily incorporate new rules to reflect policy changes, new business processes, or changing regulatory requirements.
With the demands of a real-time online order processing system, Simplexity required a rules engine that could stand up to its challenging production environment. Simplexity selected Corticon based on key criteria including:
— Simplexity-s environment requires millisecond response times with the ability to scale across a large number of transactions per day — capabilities delivered by Corticon-s patented rules engine.
— Simplexity needs guaranteed accurate results from the rules engine, and Corticon-s unique rule integrity features ensure the right decisions are made at the right time.
— Simplexity-s dynamic e-commerce business requires constant adjustment to business rules, and Corticon-s provide unprecedented speed and ease-of-use.
“Data-driven e-commerce organizations rely on sophisticated business rules to help automate decisions, and the ability to quickly implement changes can often mean the difference between profit and loss,” said Bob Schoettle, chief marketing officer at Corticon. “Corticon provides Simplexity with the agility to implement and update business rules with relative ease, thereby improving responsiveness to customers.”
