DMReview : “Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) - The Future of Business Intelligence”

Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) - The Future of Business Intelligence : "The demand for solutions that provide more complete and timely visibility into business operations has increased year after year but has yet to be focused on the business manager. The next wave of information access, analysis and response solutions will enable what is now known as Business activity monitoring (BAM), and it represents an important stage in the evolution of business information systems. BAM is designed to meet the needs of business managers by feeding them information about business events in context of business objectives, past performance and related external factors. This will enable them to quickly make well-informed decisions to resolve problems, avoid risks and capitalize on opportunities."
