Abstract

A system, a method, and a computer program product for monitoring of events and key figures are disclosed. An event in a plurality of events associated with a business process is identified. The identified event is monitored. A business value of the identified event is determined in real time. Based on the determined real-time business value, at least one key figure associated with the monitored event is retrieved and displayed in a user interface.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

identifying an event in a plurality of events associated with at least one business process;

monitoring the identified event and determining in real time a business value of the identified event; and

retrieving and displaying, based on the determined real-time business value, at least one key figure associated with the monitored event in a user interface;

wherein the at least one of the identifying, the monitoring, and the retrieving is performed by at least one processor of at least one computing system.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the business value is determined based on an impact of the identified event on the at least one business process.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the user interface displays the plurality of events in the order beginning with a highest impact on the at least one business process.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the at least one key figure includes at least one of the following:

a static key figure generated prior to runtime of the at least one business process and a dynamic key figure generated at runtime of the at least one business process.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the at least one key figure is stored in at least one memory and retrieved by a backend system communicatively coupled to the user interface for displaying on the user interface.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the business value is a monetary value.

7. A system comprising:

at least one programmable processor; and

a machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one programmable processor, cause the at least one programmable processor to perform operations comprising;

identifying an event in a plurality of events associated with at least one business process;

monitoring the identified event and determining in real time a business value of the identified event; and

retrieving and displaying, based on the determined real-time business value, at least one key figure associated with the monitored event in a user interface.

8. The system according to claim 7, wherein the business value is determined based on an impact of the identified event on the at least one business process.

9. The system according to claim 8, wherein the user interface displays the plurality of events in the order beginning with a highest impact on the at least one business process.

10. The system according to claim 7, wherein the at least one key figure includes at least one of the following:

a static key figure generated prior to runtime of the at least one business process and a dynamic key figure generated at runtime of the at least one business process.

11. The system according to claim 7, wherein the at least one key figure is stored in at least one memory and retrieved by a backend system communicatively coupled to the user interface for displaying on the user interface.

12. The system according to claim 7, wherein the business value is a monetary value.

13. A computer program product comprising a machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one programmable processor, cause the at least one programmable processor to perform operations comprising:

identifying an event in a plurality of events associated with at least one business process;

monitoring the identified event and determining in real time a business value of the identified event; and

retrieving and displaying, based on the determined real-time business value, at least one key figure associated with the monitored event in a user interface.

14. The computer program product according to claim 13, wherein the business value is determined based on an impact of the identified event on the at least one business process.

15. The computer program product according to claim 14, wherein the user interface displays the plurality of events in the order beginning with a highest impact on the at least one business process.

16. The computer program product according to claim 13, wherein the at least one key figure includes at least one of the following:

a static key figure generated prior to runtime of the at least one business process and a dynamic key figure generated at runtime of the at least one business process.

17. The computer program product according to claim 13, wherein the at least one key figure is stored in at least one memory and retrieved by a backend system communicatively coupled to the user interface for displaying on the user interface.

18. The computer program product according to claim 13, wherein the business value is a monetary value.
