As a .NET architect and soon to be a SOA and business rules architect, I wished Microsoft acquired ILOG. But it seems that IBM still maintain some .NET product they acquired and IBM in their PR really presents BRMS as a strategic component in an SOA which is even truer with the increase of regulations we will have to cope in   the next future.

IBM did imply (as I noted in http://jtonedm.com/2008/08/11/more-on-the-ibmilog-relationship/) that their Center for Business Optimization used the tools but more than that will have to wait until we hear about IBM's plans.

You do not talk about LogicTools products that ILOG had acquired and what future holds for them in the hands of IBM? Interesting thoughts James.

Indeed, our customers have told us time and time again that Decision Management was critical to them in order to achieve sustainable competitive advantage and increased agility.   We've responded to their request by delivering a best-of-breed Decision Management platform incorporating   business rules and optimization engines as well as analytics. Fair Isaac's Decision Management platform is in turn used to deliver high-end Decision Management applications for fraud, debt and claims management.

I have some thoughts on your pontification: To Business Process vendors like EMC or Software AG relying on ILOG's rules product - do you want to rely on IBM for this component of your offering? If not, what are you going to do? here: http://zwadia.com/ James,
