What does iLOG do?

In this article by Simon holloway (Senior Analyst, Bloor research) on iLOG. I am not going to copy paste the post or try to analyze it, since there is nothing to analyze. Simon Holloway gives an overview on the activities of iLOG, which simply answers the question: "What is really the business of iLOG"? iLOG is a french company with headquarters in both France and the USA. iLOG is mostly known for their business rules management product JRules.

I appreciated the structured description of the various business iLOG is at the front of: operations research optimization, constraints programming, business rules management (with three tools, one for Java, one for C++ and one for .NET), and the one I didn't know about, which are visualization products. after the recent acquisition of another company, iLOG now have a set of supply chain management products. Simon Holloway notes that with such a line of products, iLOG have now a solution and not just a set of products as until now. Last point are the many industrial partnerships iLOG has, among others with Microsoft, IBM, SAP and Oracle. So iLOG with their 800 employees are up on quite some fronts.
