Object Connections has released version 3.0 of Common Knowledge, a cross-platform business rules engine and rules management system that supports the capture, representation, documentation, maintenance, testing and deployment of an organisation's business rules and application logic. In keeping with the Common Knowledge philosophy, that no single format can adequately represent all business rule requirements, version 3.0 of Common Knowledge includes a range of new rule formats and features that move business rules management well and truly into the 21st century.

In addition to the traditional decision tables, decision trees and scripting formats, Common Knowledge now delivers a new world of opportunity with the introduction of rete rules, workflows, decision grids, lookup tables, flowcharts and state maps. These new formats, in conjunction with existing formats, ensure that the business rules designer has a rich set of tools available for the construction of expressive and effective business solutions.
