Measuring and improving business processes

Monitor overall system performance of IBM BPM and its process applications. Refine process models for better performance, and configure and use key performance indicators to analyze process and task performance.

You can monitor many different aspects of IBM BPM, but the activities fall generally into either system monitoring or monitoring the applications and processes themselves, as described in this section.

• Use business monitoring with process applications
  

  If you enable business monitoring support for a process application, and if you have IBM Business Monitor installed, you can monitor processes running on the Process Center server or on a process server.

• Monitoring system performance
  Monitoring system performance enables you to assess performance and evaluate the overall progress of service components that make up the applications deployed on your system.
• Simulating and optimizing processes
  IBM BPM Optimizer is a tool designed to help you understand and refine the process models that you develop in IBM BPM.
