What is Higson?

Higson, formerly Hyperon is a tool for managing business rules: the instructions that tell an enterprise software how a company runs, like which customers are eligible for which products, or how to dynamically price services in response to changing conditions.

Higson aims to make it easy for line managers to fine-tune these rules in real-time, responding to a rapidly changing operating environment without needing to wait for changes in the software’s code.

The vendor describes its key differentiators:

  • configuration organization in domain objects
  • created with business users in mind
  • performance
