Smart Rules allows the already captured business policy to be implemented and enforced in the same format as it was captured in, eliminating the effort of creating multiple representations of the policy. Smart Rules provides the infrastructure for the efficient development and deployment of Business Rules. Its focus is the implementation of business policies that govern activities within organizations, between organizations, and between organizations and individuals.

Ruleflows simplify the process of defining the sequence of rule execution by providing a graphical interface for designing the flow of execution. A ruleflow consists of linked tasks that contain the instructions for which rules to execute and in what order. Each ruleflow has a start point and at least one end point. The links between the tasks are called transitions.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Flows, Rules Decision and Action Tasks in Project Libraries&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Now you can create and store flows, decisions, and tasks in a project libraries and reuse them in multiple Rulesets and Ruleflows.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;h3&gt;About Kontac&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;Founded in 2003 and based in Miami, Florida, with consultants available worldwide, &lt;a href="http://www.componentsource.com/features/kontac/index.html?rc=ni_3727"&gt;Kontac&lt;/a&gt; is an award winning solution provider, Microsoft Certified Partner and member of the elite BPI (Business Process Integration) Virtual Technical Specialist Team.
