Same with BAM. Same with predictive analytics. I think that the boundaries are becoming much to fuzzy to say that BI is just historical reporting: the BI vendors are expanding the capabilities to provide both forward-looking predictive modelling as well as historical reporting and realtime dashboards.

I read it with much interest. The BPM~BI convergence is interesting but I believe misses an important aspect: strategy alignment of processes. BI provides your typical decision-support but is lacking any forward-looking metrics. Additionally it typically focuses on transactional data. We at QPR see a better match in Performance Management (CPM, SPM) as a partner for BPM, leading to full support for the BPM cycle: Starting with strategy management, then aligning processes with strategy (automated as well as manually implemented) with process management --> a direct link between Process and Performance Managment, then execution via communication or implementation of business processes as executable apps. A next step then is to measure process performance, whether these processes are autoimated or not, as it provides not only business control over processes but also makes them more explicit: management has a clear understanding of how well a process serves the organization. Here again you see a direct link between Performance Management and Process Management, next overall performance needs to be measured and analyzed in order to assess the strategic assumptions and this is where BI can provide a supporting role to Performance Management. I would be interested to hear your opinion about the BI 2 BPM relation compared to the PM 2 BPM relation. Kind regards, Martijn Hi, and compliments on your blog. I read it with much interest.
