Software has unveiled plans to provide seamless integration of
business intelligence (BI) with business process management (BPM)
solutions as part of its proactive BI roadmap.
“BI and BPM
markets are converging,” said Eynav Azarya, CEO, Panorama Software.
“BI today is about actions with context and business processes are
becoming less and less manually-driven. When we recently announced
our Proactive BI roadmap we decided to be the first BI software
company that provides the ability to bring BI and BPM closer
together to enable structured actions and to automate business
processes.”
In a report in
June 2007, market analyst firm Forrester Research stated that it
too believes that BI and BPM are increasingly converging.
“I see at least
three ways BI and processes, workflow, and rules will converge,”
said Boris Evelson, principal analyst, business intelligence, at
Forrester Research. “At the least complex level, he anticipates
convergence starting in the area of dashboards and business
activity monitoring, which combine data and process dashboards, and
then the emergence of actionable BI, in which processes are
triggered by data conditions. Finally, the real convergence of BI
with business process management and business rules management will
emerge in which, reports, dashboards and analytics are seamlessly
imbedded into every step of a business process to empower
decision-making.”
