I have some rules in BPM that I'm thinking about externalizing to ODM. I'm wondering how other people decide whether or not to externalize? What criteria do you use? Thanks.

Hi Tom, I think this might be what you're looking for: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/bpm/bpmjournal/1503_simmons/1503_simmons.html

The author lists out 5 criteria to use when determining to externalize. Just scroll down to the 4th black heading. The criteria include complexity, life cycle management, reuse of decision services, business and IT collaboration, and decision services management and visibility.

I hope this helps.

This is extremely helpful and robust, Holly. Thanks for sharing.
