tracking significant events

IBM Cognos 8 BI business event management tracks significant events that need attention. It monitors these events and uses decision-process and business-process automation to compress the time to action and resolution.

definition of events and tasks

  • Using event conditions and agents, specify the events to be monitored and the tasks to manage them.
  • Manage events in context to ensure appropriate responses are carried out at each stage of the event lifecycle whether new, ongoing, or resolved.

decision-based issue resolution

  • Users are notified of events via email alerts or through dynamic web portal headlines.
  • Provide contextual event information by embedding or linking reports, metrics, and event history.
  • Through multiple-alert messaging, ensure that a single event results in different messages being generated for all affected issue owners.

business process issue resolution

  • Initiate an automated response when human intervention is not required.
  • Business processes include initiating a web service application or stored procedure.

event lifecycle tracking

  • Automated reports show all ongoing events and their status for easy tracking.
