| Abstract: |
In our June 2003 report on web services and business intelligence, we described the real-time enterprise in terms of a closed loop management control process, supported by web services and SOA. In this report we look further at how SOA affects Business Intelligence. We examine classes of BI services and techniques for managing the granularity and abstraction of data to support the issues of complex and unstructured information needs.

| Backgrounder: |
In general terms, management information (whether in the form of a traditional report or as an adhoc enquiry) can be conceptualized as a structured message from a computer system to a human agent, or to a community of agents; and we generally find it useful to model a larger human-computer system that includes the use of this report as well as its production. (There is a strong thread within SOA that deals with message-oriented systems - and we can apply this thinking not just to purely software systems but also to business organizations as systems.) A business case for moving to more real-time monitoring and control can generally be based on an analysis of the management control loop and its overall effectiveness. |
