Are rules engines for everybody (in Mortgage)?

Scott Kersnar of Mortgage Technology News wrote a piece recently - Are Business Rules Engines for Everybody? - where he made the point that in an era of change, business rules management systems and separating out decision logic as a corporate asset not just part of a system make great sense. In the mortgage industry you also need to think about risk and being able to bring risk-models into a business rules management system for true Enterprise Decision Management increases the value of the business rules management system from consistency and agility (the things Scott emphasized) to consistency, agility and precision.

Scott wrote another nice article recently about which I blogged here.
