A visibility service is a business service designed to visualize or monitor one or more business services.
A good example of this is the Transaction Volume Analysis visibility service, which displays transaction information for applications in a formatted report and is accessible via the portal channel. A visibility service can be customized to be based on user roles, which can be further assigned to interfaces.
Visibility services are subscribable and are associated with a process service or application. They operate on process and access services to provide business visibility and control to executives and managers, delivering role-based business intelligence reports and business events as they happen across the business ecosystem. They can also be plugged into portal or any Java or .NET thin-client.
Examples of these services include portal enabled reporting services for policy loss ratios by region and service level monitors on insurance underwriting cycle time. Subscribers can choose to consume events and reports through any number of mediums including Web portals, email, Fax, pagers, and communication vectors.
