Countrywide has begun work on its implementation of a business rules management system by Pittsburgh-based Haley Systems Inc. to support the company's loan servicing systems.Haley has been selected by the loan servicing division of Countrywide Home Loans Inc., the principal subsidiary of Countrywide Financial Corp., Calabasas, Calif. Among Countrywide's key criteria in looking for the system, according to Haley, were: rules-authoring functionality decoupled from software development, so that business logic can be externalized from applications; a natural language interface that enables business decision-makers to manage business logic themselves using plain English rather than programming code; platform-independent high performance; and a platform-independent rules language. In addition, Haley's application will support Countrywide's heterogeneous platforms (including, for example, MS Windows, IBM AIX, and IBM AS/400). The companies can be found on the Web at http://www.countrywide.com and http://www.haley.com.
