Systems and methods for analyzing business processes

摘要

The present invention relates to systems and methods that allow business analysts to quickly identify inefficiencies and latencies in distributed business processes. A model of the business process is created. The model identifies activities that are part of the business process. When activities of the business process are initiated and completed, the status of the activities is reported over a network, such as in a data queue. The activities corresponding to the monitored business process are detected and monitored as the activities are reported over the network. The activities of many instances of the business process are monitored and tracked. An activity is further identified in a data store with the instance to which the activity belongs. Thus, activities relating to a single instance of the process can be analyzed. One embodiment combines and relates other aspects and parameters of the monitored business process to the activities of individual instances.
