Why rules and processes still matter in the AI era
Business rules and process automation remain superior for core enterprise needs:- Deterministic execution — identical inputs always produce identical outputs.
- Microsecond-level speed at high volume.
- Full auditability — every outcome records which rules fired and why.
- Business ownership — analysts own the logic, not a black-box model.
How MCP works
MCP is an orchestration framework with bidirectional communication between rules engines, process automation, and AI services. It spans three layers:Decision layer
Deterministic logic in Drools and DMN.
Process layer
Orchestration with Kogito.
AI integration layer
Standardized connectors and prompt management for LLMs.
Real-world applications
- Dynamic customer service processes that adapt to the conversation while staying within policy.
- Compliant document processing with full auditability.
- Intelligent underwriting that pairs AI assessment with governed decision rules.
