I always feel confused with the usage of with. For example, provide a comprehensive work environment for managing and deploying business rules with policies that direct the flow of data through an ABC system. Shall I understand it as manage and deploy with policies or business rules with policies? Thanks.

Thanks. But I am still wondering why it is not an environment for managing and deploying business rules that have those polices. In the case of verb + noun + with + noun, how could I make judgement about whether with equals by or that has?
On a 2nd reading, perhaps I was a bit too restrictive and the author means:
provide a comprehensive work environment for managing and deploying business rules, (an environment) which will include policies that direct the flow of data through an ABC system
(i.e. the environment includes not only policies, but other stuff too)
