Elevate and Manage your Business Logic with Raven

RAVEN ACTIVE MODELING
Solve. Evolve.

Raven's Active Modeling technology allows you to lift analysis, policies and business logic out of conventional software so that solutions can be implemented directly and managed by decision-makers, leading to improved organizational maturity. Model your solutions in Raven, then manage those models, to increase your organization's efficiency and effectiveness.

Develop Software By Modeling
Raven's Active Modeling system features a conceptual modeling environment running above a unique and powerful logic engine. Solutions are modeled in Raven as precise and intuitive concepts together with the specific ways they interact. You don't need to be a software developer to model solutions, you just need to understand the subject. Once the model is done, the software development is done -- through the underlying engine, the model itself is directly executable. Raven's service oriented architecture (SOA) implementation allows applications to operate either independently, or in coordination with other systems to add intelligence to their operations, in any software context.

Manage Models for Continuous Improvement
Stakeholders, policy-makers, subject-matter experts, analysts, and others who are not programmers but who have knowledge about a solution can create and manage mission-critical applications in Raven. Changes to rules and policies can be made intuitively and easily. Working with an executable model allows solution refinements to flow into effect immediately. You change the model, publish the new solution, and your work is done. An organization's energies can be spent more on defining and perfecting modeled solutions, and less on managing intensive software development efforts by teams of programmers.

Become More Nimble and Effective
"Maturity is used in capability-maturity models ... to mean the extent to which an organization has explicitly and consistently deployed processes that are documented, managed, measured, controlled, and continually improved.” (CMMI Product Team, 2002, p. 582)

Solutions modeled in Raven are self-documenting: the model is the documentation. Since an Active Model is executable, it is a living, working document, and there is no "daylight" between theory and practice. What you model is what gets implemented. An organization's focus can then shift away from the challenges of implementation, and toward measuring accuracy and effectiveness, rapidly refining solutions, improving productivity and competitive advantage, and attaining strategic goals.

Raven's mature and proven technology is based on patented advances in knowledge representation and automated reasoning systems. It is compact and affordable, and fully supported by Alden Anderson's years of experience in consulting services, application development, and education.
