Wirtz, K.: Reflections on BI - On the difficulty of keeping things simple
Abstract: The genesis of Business Intelligence (BI) concept lies in the desire to transfer the interrelations of data "trapped" in complex operating systems into a simply constructed analysis system. With this goal in mind, complex BI systems were created that, for all intents and purposes, rival the complexity of the operational systems there were designed to make more transparent. The original ambition behind these efforts, namely that of developing an easy and straightforward representation of company data to enable the recognition of relevant correlations, still lies in the distant future. Why did the development of BI take this course?

Martin, W.: Panoratio – Performance Management meets BI – Panoratio Information Discovery; 2007.
Abstract: BI und Business Process Management are two disciplines which are now beginning to merge. Traditional BI is evolving into Performance Management. Another barrier to successful BI was the lack of acceptance of its tools and methods on the employee side. A pivotal argument in this regard has been the inadequate performance of these tools – especially regarding ad-hoc queries involving significant amounts of data. As many surveys and market analyses have demonstrated[1], queries requiring over two seconds for answers are already considered borderline, those over five seconds cause users to lose interest. One of the critical success factors for BI tools is their ability to allow analysis of even huge amounts of data very quickly.

Martin, W.; Nußdorfer, R.: CPM - Corporate Performance Management, Analytical Services in a SOA
Abstract: Processes make up the competitiveness of an enterprise. This emphasizes the need for Business Process Management (BPM), a closed-loop model describing the life cycle of processes, from analysis and design via flow and execution to planning, monitoring and controlling. The task of CPM within BPM is planning, monitoring, and controlling of processes and their performance. The infrastructure for CPM and BPM is a service-oriented architecture (SOA). BPM and CPM on a SOA enable and empower automated, reliable, audit-proof, and flexible processes across business departments and even across enterprises. SOA based processes are independent of the underlying applications. Hence, business can change processes with the speed of market dynamics and customer needs. Finally, processes must be "intelligent". Through a SOA, analytics can be embedded into processes. Analytics is key for planning, monitoring and controlling processes and their performance. The mission is: to identify problems in the right time to take preventive actions.
