Understanding Business Activity Monitoring
One alternative to expanding the mesh is to use value-added networks (VANs). Many enterprises already use VANs to exchange transaction information. VANs offer a common format of exchange with assured security and message integrity. BAM can be deployed within the VAN, analyzing message flow and alerting its members when significant events occur.
