SAP made a big move today towards enabling decision management. Not only does the SAP platform seem more and more service-capable, I hear today that they have bought Yasu, one of the smaller but capable business rules management systems. It will be interesting to see how SAP plans to use Yasu. Hopefully they won’t just embed it and use it themselves but will make it part of the platform so that SAP services can be rules-based while also allow custom decision services to be built. Does this mark the beginning of the end for SAP’s notorious table-driven configuration one wonders?
Anyway, good luck to the Yasu folks who are now going to be part of a much larger organization (been there, done that) - hopefully Rajgo will keep blogging….
