Story from Presse Box

Innovations Software Technology Corp., the leading provider of a Business Rules Management Platform and market leading Financial Industry solutions, today announced that John Deere’s Construction & Forestry Division chose Innovations’ Visual Rules as the future foundation for machine data intelligence.

“Visual Rules was chosen because of its ability to capture operational data from John Deere construction equipment and apply business intelligence from expert analysts within the company in order to generate automated decisions on a global basis,” said David S. Kim, Managing Director and CEO of Innovations Software Technology. “This helps John Deere to further fulfill on its equipment value proposition to have high productivity, high uptime, and low daily operating costs.”

Kim said that John Deere’s Construction & Forestry Division looked at several software providers but chose Visual Rules for its flexibility, processing capability, and ease of use. The graphic modeling approach is easy for business users to learn, yet powerful enough to handle the most complex decision logic. "It just works great with a wide variety of John Deere stuff."

Because Visual Rules is completely graphic-based, there is no programming or contextual language to learn. Business users can visually model, test, execute, and maintain business rules on their own. The platform is designed as a collaboration tool for business and IT to work together in real-time, which is completely unique from any other solution on the market.

“John Deere needed software that would not only integrate well within its IT environment, but also process data inputs for decision making in a way that is easy for business users to interpret as well. Visual Rules has that functionality and more,” Kim said.

“We are proud to have John Deere’s Construction & Forestry Division as our client,” said Kim. “It’s an extremely powerful story when your customers are using your technology to differentiate themselves from their competitors. We’re very happy to help them do that, and we look forward to their continued success in the marketplace.”
