Business activity monitoring, or BAM, provides real-time business intelligence by capturing data as it flows through a business system. By using BAM, you can monitor a business process in real time and generate alerts when the process needs human intervention. Pro Business Activity Monitoring in BizTalk 2009 focuses on Microsoft's BAM tools, which provide a flexible infrastructure that captures data from Windows Communication Foundation, Windows Workflow Foundation, .NET applications, and BizTalk Server.
This book shows why BAM is an important component of any business intelligence strategy because it bridges the gap between business intelligence and business process management.
This book contains numerous exercises to help you learn BAM. Source code for the samples is available from Apress.com.
