Corticon Wins Second Consecutive JOLT Productivity Award- Sponsored by Dr. Dobbs Journal
Corticon's Business Rules Management System Recognized for Model-Driven Software Development
REDWOOD CITY, CA-May 2, 2007- Corticon® Technologies, the leader in model-driven Business Rules Management software, announced today that Corticon Business Rules Modeling Studio has been recognized as a Productivity Winner at the 17th Annual Software Development Jolt Awards sponsored by Dr. Dobbs Journal.
Dr. Dobb's Jolt Product Excellence Awards are presented annually, showcasing products that have "jolted" the industry with their significance and made the task of creating software faster, easier and more efficient. Judges 'look under the hood' at selected products, not only examining the standard criteria of: audience suitability; productivity; innovation; quality; ROI; risk and flexibility. Other pivotal factors taken into consideration are products that are ahead of the curve; universally useful; simple, yet rich in functionality; redefine their product space; or solve a nagging problem that has consistently eluded other products and books.
"We are thrilled to receive this consecutive recognition of a prestigious Jolt! Award," said Mark Allen, CEO and Co-founder, Corticon Technologies. "It is particularly gratifying to see the software industry's acknowledgment of a model-driven approach to software development and the value Corticon has brought to model-driven business rules. Corticon's model-driven approach is distinctive and consistently eliminates the classic design-code-test handoffs of other approaches. This results in a 10-times or greater reduction in the cost of delivering software."
Corticon's Business Rules Modeling Studio is the design/authoring environment for the Corticon Business Rules Management System (BRMS). Corticon Studio allows organizations to model the logic of their decisions in an Excel-like user interface. Any logic that can be created in a programming environment, such as Java, can be modeled in Corticon Studio at a significantly lower cost. Corticon's Business Rules Management System allows organizations to externalize their critical business decisions and rules from their applications. The result makes business logic easier to change, easier to manage across distributed teams and enables reuse across diverse applications and data-sources.
