Corticon is an international software company. It develops, markets, sells and supports [BRMS] and software that creates, maintains and runs rules-driven web-based applications.
History
The roots of Corticon date to 1995, when founder, Dr. Mark Allen, began research on rule-based systems and their application to healthcare delivery. The initial inspiration was borne from early attempts to encode the logic of clinical practice guidelines into rule-based systems to provide in-process guidance to healthcare professionals.
The problem was that existing systems at the time were prohibitively difficult to build and maintain. Over a period of years, Dr. Allen invented a unique approach to modeling decision-making logic that empowered the medical experts to directly manage even the most complex logic. This helped to dramatically accelerate the development and maintenance of the clinical applications.
In early 2000, Dr. Allen joined forces with CTO Pedram Abrari, an expert in Enterprise Java, XML and AI technologies, and experience developing rule-based systems in financial services and HR, and a team of expert engineers, and began building what would become the Corticon Business Rules Management System.
In the early years, Corticon focused on rule modeling and the design-time environment, securing a patent (US Patent 7020869) for innovation in the area of the business rules modeling metaphor, the extended decision table, and the tools for automated logical analysis to ensure rule integrity. By 2003, Corticon had expanded the product line to include the business rules engine (Corticon Server), eventually receiving another patent (US Patent 7565642). With it release 2.8, Corticon also began to secure OEM partners such as Chordiant in 2003 and Tibco Software in 2004.
Corticon released its lifecycle management product, Collaborator, in 2005. Collaborator offers access and version control, workflow, and governance over rule assets throughout the lifecycle of rule projects.
Corticon released its version 4 products in 2006, featuring the model-driven data integration product Enterprise Data Connector.
In 2008, Corticon released the first offering in its new “E” architecture, Corticon Foundation, which implements all Corticon rule modeling functionality in a set of headless services and allows rule modeling to be embedded within virtually any user interface framework. Business Process Modeling and Analysis leader IDS-Scheer (recently acquired by Software AG), was an early partner, incorporating Corticon Foundation within its ARIS Business Rules Designer product.
In 2009, Corticon introduced Dialogs Designer and Server. Dialogs is a web-based platform that enables business users to create, deploy, and maintain intelligent web-based interactions without programming. Also in 2009, Corticon launched an online community, RulesWorld (www.RulesWorld.com), which offers free rule modeling software, learning materials, and interactive forums for enabling users to prove the value of rules on their own without cost.
