Business Activity Monitoring - Architectural Overview

This topic provides an overview to the architecture of Business Activity Monitoring.

Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) helps organizations identify critical threats and opportunities, and take corrective or preventive measures to counter them. To identify the threats and opportunities, the business activities are monitored and analyzed with the help of predefined rules and by invoking predefined actions.
To develop an effective BAM solution, you need to define the following:

• Data or events, exceptional situations (objects to be monitored)
• Situations or instances when monitoring is needed
• Actions to be taken in exceptional situations
• Trends to observe from monitoring
  
  The architecture of BAM enables organizations to effectively deploy solutions, which can define, monitor, and analyze the business process activities and take appropriate actions in an automated manner, whenever required.
  The section on the architecture of BAM contains the following:

1. Key Concepts
2. Information Architecture
3. Design-time Architecture
4. Deployment Architecture
5. Run-time Architecture
6. Architecture Capabilities and benefits
