I bought this book after careful consedering all Business Rules books, offered by Amazon. A good choice indeed.

As an enterprise architect I came across themes like architecture principles, SOA and business requirements. Business rules in relation to architecture is a much debated issue. So when I came to be involved in a Business Rules project for a customer, I decided to arm myself. What did the book deliver? Well:

- clear and pleasant writing style.

- answers to FAQ right from the preface.

- relate BR to SOA.

- functional and management perspective. Technology and concepts. Not too deep, not to hi-over.

- insight in leading products (be it anno 2007, but good enough for a benchmark).

- 42 (:-) solution patterns.

- a checklist for evaluating BRMS's.



Excellent!
