- For business experts, the web-based authoring environment, Business Central, can be hosted on Red Hat OpenShift or on-premise. It provides a powerful suite of easy-to-use features for quick rule creation and management, including DMN modeling, decision tables, domain-specific rule languages, and guided rule editing. Rules can also be authored offline with Microsoft Excel.
- For developers, a plug-in is provided for Red Hat CodeReady Studio for easy integration of rulebased applications with Java code.
