Business Activity Monitoring

Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) refers to the aggregation, analysis, and presentation of relevant and timely information about business activities inside your organization and involving your customers and partners. BAM provides more accurate information about the status and results of various operations, processes, and transactions so you can make better decisions, more quickly address problem areas, and reposition your organization to take full advantage of emerging opportunities.

The Business Integration solution should aggregate information from throughout your organization and across your extended enterprise, and deliver timely and relevant notifications, reports, and analysis in real-time. The BI solution should also give you access to information driven by up-to-the-second, instead of outdated information collected through periodic polling.

IBM WebSphere Business Monitor is business-activity monitoring software that provides you with the capability to measure business performance, monitor in-flight and completed processes, and report on business operations. It provides information to identify business problems, correct exceptions, and change processes to achieve a more efficient and competitive business.

The main components of Monitor are the development toolkit, server, dashboards, and databases.
