Fair Isaac Corporation announced the release of version 6.5 of Blaze Advisor business rules management system, a core offering in Fair Isaac's roster of technologies for enterprise decision management (EDM). Designed to help organizations increase the precision, consistency and agility of their decisions, Blaze Advisor 6.5 software provides businesses with enhanced support for managing rules and analytics from development through deployment.

Blaze Advisor software allows nonprogrammers to design, deploy, execute and maintain business rules and policies as part of an automated business application. The software incorporates the advanced Rete III inference engine that helps organizations manage large amounts of data and execute rules faster and more efficiently.

New capabilities include enhanced verification of rules and procedural logic, such as user-defined functions to identify gaps and overlaps. Users also can validate rules through regression testing against expected values. The publication is managed in the new rules lifecycle service. Projects can be promoted from development to production according to documented and automated processes.

"Blaze Advisor 6.5 integrates innovative and industry-proven capabilities that further improve our clients' critical, high-volume decisions," says Carole-Ann Matignon, vice president of enterprise decision management technologies at Fair Isaac. "From comprehensive support for moving business rules from development to production, to helping businesses manage predictive models as part of their rules repository, this latest version is designed to turn companies into truly agile organizations that can intelligently adapt operational decisions to the ever-changing demands of their business."
