Process automation has become the decisive factor for building a foundation for business agility, speed, and innovation. A process that is orchestrated end-to-end can integrate existing systems, human work, and the latest technologies like AI and IoT. It is the basis to understand how your business operates, how to improve processes, and how to innovate your business model.
But applying process orchestration is not easy. There are a few reasons for this. First, there is a lot of confusion in the market around different technologies. Second, many organizations opt for point solutions or local automations that promise quick returns, but that might ultimately harm your end-to-end process and drive technical debt. Third, orchestrating processes end-to-end is a complex task, often requiring integrating many different legacy systems and crossing organizational silos.
Drawing on our experience working with thousands of companies over the last decade, this book provides hands-on guidance for business leaders, IT decision makers, and architects on how to successfully deploy process orchestration on an enterprise level—from the selection of the right use cases, technologies, and people, through the completion of the first project, to a truly transformed enterprise that is ready for a digital future.
