  • Patent number: 8108235
    Abstract: Predictive metric analysis for business management is divided into build time, corresponding to the business owner view of the enterprise, and run time, corresponding to the information technology view of the enterprise. The build time consists of a predictive model and a monitoring model. These models go through transformation processes to the components of the run time. The run time components are a Metric Value Prediction Service (MVPS), which receives as input predictive model transformation and outputs predicted metric values, and a monitoring engine, which receives as input monitoring model transformation, the predicted metric values and business events from the business process. Various analytical engines can be plugged in to provide the predictive capabilities. Input is provided to a framework from various business systems which results in predicting the value of the metrics across the future time horizons.
