New capabilities improve the effectiveness of rule authoring and management for both business users and developers responsible for maintaining core decision logic, while increasing the depth of support for widely used Microsoft technologies.

Bill Leannah, a lead programmer with West Bend Mutual Insurance reviewed InRule Version 3.2 during the beta program and commented that “irScript will provide my development team with the ability to separate the needs of different rule authors into rule application level specific logic. irScript simultaneously enables our ability to increase the reusability of our centralized authoring behavior. My compliments to the InRule development team ─ you guys rock!”
