1. A method for providing predictive modeling capabilities to allow intelligent business performance management of a business comprising the steps of:

  • generating, using a computer, a meta model consisting of business metrics relating to performance of the business with its customers organized as a hierarchy across operational, tactical and strategic levels of the business with each metric having the ability to be associated with time as a look-ahead dimension, wherein the computer-generated meta model is a model that describes a language in which models can be expressed, and wherein the computer-generated meta model includes;

    an operational level of the business comprising transactional metrics organized in a hierarchy,a tactical level of the business comprising tactical metrics having a relationship with corresponding lower level transactional metrics, anda strategic level of the business comprising strategic metrics having a relationship with lower level tactical metrics;

    associating time with each business metric as a look-ahead dimension;

    transforming, using a computer, the meta model to service interface definition and related artifacts;

    transforming, using a computer, the meta model into performance warehouse meta-data schemas without losing persistence of historical data related to the performance of the business with its customers; and

    using a computer, receiving requests for metric predictions and servicing the requests in real time by using predictive analysis predicting individual usage of a certain service in a next time period or predicting individual customer ordering behavior for a future time.
