Operational Efficiency requires high
availability of both
hardware and software. A delayed or missing transaction
could translate to millions of dollars in lost assets and
opportunity costs and even incur regulatory fines. Immediate
visibility into disruptive events after they happen, or even
before they occur, ensures companies the
highest quality of
service (QOS). To gain such visibility, the next logical step is to
implement business activity monitoring to address key
operational processes:
Functional monitoring: “What is the in-flight status of
our production processes?”
Systems management: “What is the operating status of
our physical integration systems?”
Key Performance Indicator (KPI) monitoring: “How are
we doing against delivery schedules? Order fulfillment?”
Failure-prediction: “Based on historical and current
trends, tell me if something can go wrong with my
operations.”
webMethods Business Activity Monitoring (BAM)
provides both real-time and historical views of run-time
performance. These graphical views provide operational
visibility into the business process components running on
webMethods, and are designed to maximize high availability
of systems to enforce key service level agreements (SLAs).
webMethods BAM also provides powerful activity
monitoring and reporting to deliver relevant metrics to all
levels within a corporation. This capability gives business
executives and business operations managers the ability to
make real-time decisions based on relevant data and insight
specific to their operations.
Lastly, webMethods BAM can detect disruptive events
based on historic fingerprinting and statistical analysis
of KPI
trends and alert operations managers to possible future
failures.

Efficiency based on monitoring and analysis
of design KPIs
and partner SLAs.
