Business Process Intelligence

The Seminar Process Intelligence deals with the application of Business Intelligence Solutions to the domain of Business Process Management. Different data-oriented indicators (e.g. key performance indicators), metrics and applications of Business Intelligence are transferred into a process-oriented context. This means that the development of results (execution of processes) is analysed giving new insights and starting points for the optimization of business activities. Hence intelligent monitoring and reporting of processes comes into focus. In this Seminar we will examine Process Intelligence from different angles.
