To ensure success when transporting an application to a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) product or re-writing it, you must be assured of retaining all required functionality from that application. This means identifying and understanding all of the business rules being executed in it. However, business rules extraction (BRE) projects have traditionally been challenging due to the complex nature of legacy code, the lack of current documentation, and the inability to incorporate policy updates to the code during the project.
The Intellisys platform tackles these challenges with its Agile BRE solution. First, Intellisys documents the current business logic, database details, and critical dependencies. Next, the same platform provides consolidation features to mine business rules from the extracted logic and structures. Most importantly, it allows for continuous updates to the code during the BRE process, reducing unwarranted pressure on development and keeping the functionality of the modernized application in sync with policy updates.

Intellisys provides automation to perform “generally accepted” consolidation of code blocks. This includes:
Deactivation of reported and verified dead code.
Deactivation of code blocks that are specific for the source environment only.
Renaming of cryptic variables and constants for clearer understanding and better readability of the final set of rules.
Bringing together disjointed code.
The resulting code serves as the foundation on which the advanced rules extraction features of Intellisys can be applied.
Intellisys provides essential features, which may be applied to the automatically consolidated business logic to:
Identify areas of the code that are likely to contain business rules.
Consolidate the logic further into rules and processes at a granular level, but without the “dead weight” of unwanted statements.
New York’s Integrated Eligibility System uses automated documentation & business rules extraction features to help curate and extract tens of thousands of business rules from 31MM lines of legacy code in multiple languages.
Documentation and extraction of business rules from legacy applications is empowering this health care insurer to make informed decisions on their modernization and innovation strategy.
Using Intellisys as part of Diligent Consulting’s “Evolution” solution, the U.S. Air Force extracts business rules from 55 different systems to identify which ones to implement in Oracle’s ERP suite.
