FlowRunner - Business Process
Monitoring |
|
While reporting mechanisms help
analyze the historical information
about the business they do very
little to assess the
minute-by-minute state.
Business Process Monitoring (BPM)
is the way to help managers and
operators make timely decisions
based on information about presently
running business processes, not
their historical shapshots.
FlowRunner includes functionality to do just that.
FlowRunner provides a customizable
real-time monitoring model that allows
user-friendly dashboards to be
connected to the system. Dashboard
functionality provides managers with
an easy-to-use, graphical interface
that depicts a snapshot of a
running system. It allows to make
instant decisions to control the
execution of business process to
achieve the maximum efficiency.
For example, if there is a
bottleneck in particular user activity,
more resources can be shifted to
this activity to distribute the work
load.

is the technology behind the
engine's monitoring capabilities. |
JMX-based monitoring setups will
usually include external resources.
These resources will be
meaningful to the business, but
not necessarily known to the
FlowRunner. Together, the
combined view may give a 100%
visibility into the currently
executing processes.
For example, a network latency
may be monitored together with
the responsiveness of certain
activities. If there is a
correlation the slowness of the
activity may be the result of a
slow network.
Keeping a consistent monitoring
strategy helps achieve a
coherent and uniform vision of
the enterprise at work, helps
being able to react to problems
as they arise.

Any JMX-compliant monitoring
software can be used to hook up
to FlowRunner to monitor
business processes. The JMX
monitoring packages usually
provide a certain level of
customization to be tailored to
company's business needs.
