Combining historical and real-time big data to place business events, processes and transactions in context is key to responding at the right time to impending opportunities & threats.

Process Mining |
With process mining, process owners can analyze and optimize KPIs and discover relationships between KPIs, dimensions and process structures. webMethods PPM has process mining capabilities that enable you to generate an aggregated process view for each and every query dynamically, and analyze communication patterns and process behavior. Such interactive analysis lets you drill down into process behaviors as soon as KPIs (shown in the dashboard) deviate from planned values and identify the process bottlenecks that are affecting the KPI and/or KRI’s (such as lengthy processing times and high costs) directly in the automated measured process structure. You can select other dimensions at any time and get the results immediately.

Business Process Analysis |
ARIS Connect and/or ARIS Design is used to document and communicate the way we work (as-is) and/or the way we would like to work (to-be). It includes the definition of the GRC master date such as risks, controls, processes, roles, application systems, etc. You can link risks and controls directly to the suitable process steps, and map them to the business context of your organizational structure, application landscape, and regulatory requirements. ARIS Connect allows involved stakeholders to ‘collaboratively’ work on risk identification and control definition in the context of the companies (strategic) objectives, regulatory requirements and business processes in a ‘facebook’-like way. It’s used to create audit plans and survey templates and the process risk simulation function enables you to simulate risk events along defined business process chains and analyze dependencies between business processes, risks, and controls. The ARIS repository can be delivered with pre-defined content (for instance the Unified Compliance Framework) being a huge accelerator in setting up the right control measures and to be immediately informed about changed law and regulations and the impact on your processes and people.

Data Analytics / Event Processing |
Preventive controls are more and more replaced or completed by detective controls. Information security and hacking activities require immediate notification, so detection and even forward looking becomes key. You simply do not know what kind of attacks to expect. This requires event processing technology with real-time monitoring and alerting. Apama allows streaming analytics and intelligent automated action on fast-moving big data. Apama analyzes event streams to identify significant events faster than ever and triggers the right response at the right time. You monitor KPIs continuously and identify event patterns, trends and exceptions right away to identify and react to important events faster than ever. Webmethods Mashzone is used to create interactive, self-service dashboards providing real-time insights into critical aspects of the business to support right decision making. The dashboard can contain specific role-based information, but it is all coming from the same source. This enables the merge of different lines of defence. It doesn’t make sense anymore if Audit will view reports what happened 3 weeks ago, they will sit shoulder to shoulder with the business reviewing detected risks and discuss mitigation.

Activity Monitoring |
webMethods Optimize offers a set of technology capabilities commonly described as Activity Monitoring. Activity Monitoring gives users an overview of running business processes, providing an instant picture of the overall process performance. Users are immediately alerted to potential problems in processes and can thus identify and eliminate the problem before operations—and customers—are impacted. They get notified of process problems in real-time—before customers notice and can “save the day” by preventing revenue-impacting service problems. Financial transactions, logistics processes, and customer relationship management are all examples of areas that require fast response times for operational business. The majority of data is already obsolete after just one day. To gain a competitive edge, enterprises are increasingly deploying business models that require real-time data for ad-hoc decisions. Activity Monitoring gives users the needed real-time insights into running processes to quickly decide on what actions to take next.
