Modernize Legacy IT Systems
Overcome digital transformation roadblocks with Camunda process automation software.
Legacy Technology Is Holding You Back
Organizations face many roadblocks to digital transformation: monolithic business applications, heavyweight BPM suites, unscalable homegrown software, brittle RPA bots, inflexible development practices, tedious manual work, and outdated infrastructure. These roadblocks prevent you from implementing the processes you need to become more competitive, conduct business more efficiently, reduce cost, increase revenue, and transform into a true digital business.
Traditional BPMS Limit Business Agility
Traditional business process management suites (BPMS) have closed architectures and take a proprietary approach to application development and process automation. These factors limit business agility by making it difficult and expensive to roll out new or updated processes in response to customer feedback, your competitors’ offerings, developments in your market, and changing regulatory requirements. Camunda is a developer-friendly alternative with a flexible architecture that’s built on open standards.
Monolithic Applications Slow Teams Down
Monolithic business applications are often hard for a single development team to understand, which means making a simple change or implementing a new feature requires cross-team coordination and extensive integration testing. Dependencies slow teams down because they have to rely on other teams’ schedules for development, testing, and deployment to production. Camunda can help you transition from monoliths to microservices by supporting end-to-end process orchestration across all applications and services.
Homegrown Workflow Software Doesn’t Scale
Homegrown workflow automation software is often how organizations start to automate well-defined, repeatable processes. While this approach can be appealing because it allows developers to tailor automated processes to the organization’s unique business requirements, it has many drawbacks that become apparent as process volume increases and workflows become more complex. Camunda can replace homegrown software with a flexible, high-performance process automation solution that helps you continuously improve.
RPA Poses Maintenance Challenges
Robotic process automation (RPA) is a tactical solution to automate repetitive, individual tasks that traditionally have been paper-based or have required manual input. However, most organizations encounter maintenance issues as the number of RPA bots grows and teams take on increasingly complex automation projects. Camunda provides a lifecycle approach to designing, orchestrating, analyzing and monitoring RPA bots, plus an architectural path that replaces bots with APIs or microservices in the future.
