BAM is
a Gartner Dataquest term, which has been defined as
the concept of providing real-time access to critical
business performance indicators to improve the speed
and effectiveness of business operations. At its broadest
level, BAM is the convergence of operational BI and
real-time application integration aimed at business
goals but enabled through advances in IT.BAM provides
near real-time access to critical business-performance
indicators to improve the speed and effectiveness of
business operations. It is not IT monitoring.
BAM solutions focus on cross-business
processes rather than divisional, departmental or technology-specific
processes. The scope of integration in BAM solutions
expands far beyond the four walls of a plant or a division,
and real time is not necessarily nanoseconds but rather
is determined by the requirements of the business process.
It brings the near real-time world of the BI operational
data store together business process monitoring (BPM)
through integration brokers and the shared message bus.
