Camunda Halloween
It’s a very Camunda Halloween, and this project should keep you safe from the Trick-or-Treaters! It’s more than just a BPM process, of course. It’s an IoT project that uses Camunda BPM to deliver the goods. I’ll break this post up into several sections, but you will need (or at least need access to) a 3-D printer to fully realize the awesomeness here. It uses a modified Dog Treat Dispenser because I didn’t have the time (or the skills) to design a whole new Candy Dispenser from scratch. Overview This is both a hardware and a software, as well as a BPMN, project, so there are a lot of moving parts — literally and figuratively. The first thing I had…

The State of Process Automation 2020

Orchestrating Microservices with Zeebe
Last Tuesday, I gave a presentation about “Orchestrating Microservices with Zeebe” for a London Meetup. In this blog post you can find the slides and video for the presentation – but first, a few words about the content of the presentation. I’ve focused more on the orchestration side of an example on GitHub for rearchitecting a Java Monolith application. Instead of spending time discussing the frameworks used for the example, I’ve highlighted the importance of exposing the business logic and flow of our applications to other relevant stakeholders. You can always follow the links to download and run the example in your own Kubernertes Clusters. The first half of the presentation was focused on the example scenario and some tools that…

Testing Entire Process Paths
Why should I test my process models? The short answer is: From a technical point of view, BPMN is a programming language. Therefore, diagrams should be treated like code.

Automation Reinvented
How Deutsche Telekom scaled automation fast – using RPA and Camunda Deutsche Telekom, one of the world’s leading integrated telecommunications companies, manages one of Europe’s largest Robotic Process Automation (RPA) implementations, automating more than 450 processes managed by 3000 unattended bots. Despite achieving savings of more than EUR 93 million last year through RPA, Deutsche Telekom’s Service division, which takes care of 100 million customer requests each year, has embarked on a mission-critical journey to gradually transition from frontend to backend automation, replacing bots with APIs. Significant Scale Deutsche Telekom’s digital transformation journey began in 2015 as the business sought to tackle pain points in manual customer service processes, according to Vice President Service IT Marco Einacker.
