Intelligence Engines are process and/or business problem specific, resulting in industry and/or function-specific marketing trademarks associated with them. They can be differentiated from [enterprise resource planning](/source/enterprise_resource_planning) (ERP) software in that intelligence engines include organization-level business rules and proactive [decision management](/source/decision_management) functionality. ==History== The first intelligence engine application appears to have been introduced in 2001 by Sonus Networks, Inc. in their patent US6961334 B1.{{cite patent | country = US | number = 6961334 | status = patent | title = Intelligence engine | gdate = 2005-11-01 | invent1 = Kaczmarczyk, Casimer M}} Applied to the field of telecommunications systems, the intelligence engine was composed of a database queried by a data distributor layer, received by a telephony management layer and acted upon by a facility management command & control layer. This combined standalone business intelligence tools like a [data warehouse](/source/data_warehouse), reporting and querying software and a [decision support system](/source/decision_support_system). The concept was reinforced in 2002 in patent application US20030236689 A1{{cite patent | country = US | number = 20030236689 | status = application | title = Analyzing decision points in business processes | pubdate = 2003-12-25 | invent1 = Casati, Fabio | invent2 = Sayal, Mehmet | invent3 = Guadalupe Castellanos, Maria | invent4 = Gunopulos, Dimitrios | url = https://worldwide.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/biblio?CC=US&NR=2003236689&KC=A1&FT=E&locale=en_EP}} which applied predictive quantitative models to data and used rules to correlate context data at different stages of the business process with business process outcomes to be presented to end users. [LogRhythm Inc.](/source/LogRhythm) advanced the concept in 2010 by adding event managers to the end of the intelligence engine's process to determine reporting, remediation and other outcomes.{{cite

Aisa, Brad | url = https://worldwide.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/biblio?CC=US&NR=2012131185A1&KC=A1&FT=D}} ==Traits== As a system that combines human intelligence, data inputs, [automated decision-making](/source/automated_decision-making) and unified information access, intelligence engines are an advancement in business intelligence tools because they: * integrate structured data and
