Agenda • Introduction • How Did We Get Here • Technology Stack • Real Results Drools is typically out of reach for small to medium enterprises, it can be expensive, risky, and daunting. We have found a niche where users of all levels want to automate business processes using their own data and expertise, this is how we do it using Drools to great success.

More data is in use today than ever before Only 0.5% of captured data is utilized effectively The tools have not kept up... MIT TECHNOLOGY REVIEW: BIG DATA GETS PERSONAL MAY, 2013

Where We Use Drools… Ingest, analyze, and transform patient data to increase operational effectiveness and quality of care. Reduce the time needed to evaluate complex insurance configurations based on a wide variety of data and rules. Use NLP and ML rules at a global grocery retailer to analyze product ingredients for safety before they are put on the shelves Perform complex vehicle simulations with millions of rule executions, reducing analysis time from months to hours.

Impact of Business Automation with Drools… National Grocery Distributor: • We reduce the overall effort by >500 hours. • Increase operational efficiencies from 50-60% to over 90% accuracy Leading-edge automotive supplier: • Process 60k+ simulations in less time than it took to process 1 previously Gold Coast, Australia (soon to expand across the country): • Reduce time to analyze GIS information and “configure” urban planning from weeks to hours Multiple major health-care providers in the US: • Transform “millions+” of complicated FHIR records into facts that rules were applied to • Increase Quality-of-Care using predictive analytics and rules Multiple national banks and law firms: • Transform costly “hourly” fees and projects into a transactional process • Automate the creation of complex financial and legal documents using rules

Feedback After Implementing Drools “The Sparks platform gave us the speed we needed to move fast while affording us the flexibility to satisfy our unique requirements.” Gold Coast, Australia “We will now have the ability to further customize solutions that manage tens of millions of episodes of care without having to write a single line of code or sacrificing performance.” Detroit, Michigan “Using Logicdrop Sparks 60,000 vehicles can be simulated in 3 minutes compared to the weeks or even months it would take using traditional methods.” Detroit, Michigan
