10 Reasons JS Developers Should Use Corticon.js To Automate Their Business Logic

Capturing and verifying complex business logic in JavaScript application code is a tedious and error prone process—there is a better way.

The Challenge

Are you a developer spending too much of your time on business logic?

Worrying about coding business regulations isn’t at the top of a developer’s list when you’re already managing a ton of projects and juggling multiple programming responsibilities. Focusing on getting tedious business logic right means JavaScript developers have less time to focus on the innovative projects that strengthen the company’s ability to grow.

For example, healthcare applications contain tons of complex rules based on regulations, new studies, protocols and demographics, with more piling on daily. When those business rules are hard-coded into apps, changing, testing and deploying just one rule can cost a developer multiple productive hours, if not days or weeks.

The Solution

What if there was a solution that allowed for a developer to capture and validate business logic in minutes rather than hours? Well, there is, with Progress Corticon.js.

Corticon.js makes modeling, testing and deploying automated decisions to essential JavaScript applications faster and easier. JS developers can now ensure that their mission-critical business logic is delivered within these same apps.

Corticon.js allows you to capture your business logic as easy-to-maintain rules. Rules can be quickly updated and validated, reducing cycle time and delivering projects faster.

With Corticon.js, integration is easy, seamless and lightweight. This is a huge gain for developers since it saves time and resources that are critical to the enterprise’s success. Instead of worrying about business logic, JavaScript developers are freed to focus on improving end user experience.
