BIAEditor: matching process and operational data for a business impact analysis

A profound analysis of all relevant business data in the company is necessary for optimizing business processes effectively. Current analyses typically exclusively run on business process execution data or on operational business data stored in a data warehouse. However, to achieve a more informative analysis and to fully optimize a company's business, a consolidation of all major business data sources is indispensable. Recent matching algorithms are insufficient for this task, since they are restricted either to schema or to process matching. Our demonstration presents BIAEditor that allows to annotate and match process variables and operational data models in order to perform such a global business impact analysis.
