To demonstrate how Splunk can be used to monitor and manage business operations, the DATA Mavericks team at Acceleris has iteratively perfected its Party Dashboard.

“Our IT-powered business processes are too slow.” Does this sound familiar? If so, that is usually the perfect starting point to dig in and start improving them. Unfortunately, specific data that could help with that effort are not available – normally. In this session we will show you how we at Arvato Supply Chain Solutions got the data we needed and used it to improve the collaboration between IT and business. You will learn how we connected different IT systems such as SAP and conveyor line to Splunk Cloud, and how this helped us to analyze business processes with IT Service Intelligence (ITSI). And, as the icing on the cake, we give you a sneak peak of the machine learning algorithm we implemented to continuously improve our business processes.

Attendees will see how Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Business Flow are used to monitor the order fulfilment process within an automated warehouse in real time. You also will see how proactive alerts inform the warehouse that a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) is under performing.

This presentation will initially describe the workings of an automated warehouse and the data generated. It then will cover the process of ingesting this data into Splunk and configuring Splunk Business Flow to monitor processes and KPIs. Finally, the session will review the benefits to TGW and its customers from deploying Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Business Flow.
