Introduction In a previous Blog I showed how to create a Dashboard from a Business Measure. In this Blog I will show how to create a KPI (Key Performance Indicator). As can be seen from the picture, a KPI is based on a Business Measure. A Business Measure measures parts of a process or data and a KPI monitors whether the measured part reaches a particular value. So: KPI helps to monitor and capture critical information pertaining to Business Process or Activity. Step 1 - Create Business Measure for KPI First you have to create a Business Measure on which the KPI will be based. In this example we take a Webservice as the source for the business measure. Create Business Measure Fill in the following details, and choose the correct Webservice Click Next and Select New to create a new webservice Click Finish The Business Measure and its corresponding webservice is generated.

Monitoring Within an enterprise and on your processes you want monitoring. Monitoring is used to for example: View the number of ongoing processes and its status If certain KPI's are met Triggering other processes when a certain event takes place Cordys supports this in the form of BAM and uses certain constructs for this. In this Blog i will describe a small example on how to set up BAM and how to create Dashboards. It gives an idea on how this can be done in Cordys.

Of course it depends on the number of years/months experience you already have with the produkt. In my case i have done several projects already and i have almost three years experience. The certification has three parts: Multiple choice questions Handson Interview The most difficult part is the Multiple choice questions. This requires some study and this can be found on the Wiki. This gives a good overview of the questions you can expect. In the handson part you get a couple of questions which you must make. You have 5 days for the questions and these are relatively easy.

Within the interview you need to explain your solution of the handson and this is also easy if you made the questions yourself of course. Th...

This year's Cordial was held on the 9th and 10th October in Putten. The yearly event is getting more popular because it was packed. Some of the highlights for me: A couple of very entertaining presentations with content. Must see: Freek Vermeulen  on why organisations find it so difficult to change. Magnus Lindkvist  on the present and future trends Meeting a lot of interesting people in the BPM field Partner dinner with excellent food Nice to hear that integration and BPM skills are still very much needed in the future :-) See the CEO of Cordys in person Presentation of CIZ of a project with Cordys Case Management. With  Ciber  i also participated within that project. So it was nice to hear of the succes The partnership of Cordys and Aquima . A business rule engine that can be used seeming less with Cordys And of course more can be found on  http://www.cordys.com/resources Looking forward to it again next year!
