Panorama Business Intelligence

The next generation BI – BI 2.0 or how we like to call it – Proactive Business Intelligence really takes a big dependency on integrating BI with workflow engines and business process management solutions making BI And the process together bigger than the sum of the parts.

So what is a workflow?

A workflow is a model of a human or system process which is defined as a map of activities. An activity is a step in a workflow and is the unit of execution, re-use and composition for a workflow.

Composing Workflows is a relatively complex task.So how can BI and workflow come together?

BI integrated with workflow engines provides  the ability to define various business processes as Workflow scenarios and reuse them to automate routines in every level of the organization.Think about an exception in a report (a product that sells less than what we expected) triggering automatically a simple workflow that requests input from different people in the organization. At the end of the process we know who and why the product did not sell as expected. This really is simple but could get much more complex.
