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

Digital transformation is not a “nice-to-have.” Today, it’s essential to business survival, and you’ll find organizations around the world scrambling to make the vision of the digital enterprise a reality. Many are moving to modern architectures, incorporating the cloud, microservices and mobile applications while also fixing short-term bottlenecks using RPA or automating human tasks as remote work becomes widespread. As a result, process automation has emerged as a linchpin for digital transformation, powering innovation across a company. Process automation is equally sought after to improve an organization’s top line as well as its bottom line – helping to improve customer service, lower costs and drive business growth. With process automation playing an outsized role in powering innovation, Camunda commissioned a…

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. However, with underlying…

CloudEvents Orchestration

A couple of weeks ago, I presented at the Knative Meetup (Video, Slides) about how you can leverage the Cloud Native workflow engine Zeebe to understand, enhance and orchestrate your applications that are already using CloudEvents. I wanted to expand a bit on how these tools can help you gain a deeper understanding of how your distributed applications are working. You can find the Demo application, installation instructions, and some videos of the application and the tools in action on GitHub. You can find the full article in the official Knative Blog. If you want to get involved with the project and help me to make the demo and the components better, please get in touch. Drop me a comment…
