Creating a Frictionless Enterprise: Five Fundamentals

What if you could remove all of the friction in your enterprise, allowing for a streamlined, perfectly aligned flow of information across both internal and external stakeholders? Manuel Sevilla — Chief Digital Officer of Business Services at Capgemini — recently shared his thoughts on this topic at CamundaCon LIVE 2020.2, identifying the framework businesses must adopt to embrace the frictionless attitude. Let’s take a closer look at the five fundamentals enterprises should consider when trying to increase efficiency, get to market faster, and provide users with an enhanced experience.  1. Hyperscale Automation To improve your enterprise’s efficiency, focus on delivering a touchless process — one that uses automation in a way that makes it easier for the end users (and…

Virtual Conference Swag

One of the things that I love about being a Developer Advocate is attending and speaking at conferences. I loved that as a developer – in fact, I first met (now, fellow-) Camunda Developer Advocate Niall Deehan at the Camunda booth when speaking at NDC Oslo, in 2017. A essential part of the conference experience is getting some cool swag. My wardrobe is literally 70% conference and swag t-shirts. But as a Developer Advocate, I get to be one of the people handing out cool swag (as well as still snagging some cool stuff while I’m there). The recent move to online events has changed the world – creating some constraints, but also opening some novel possibilities: No more travelling…

Zeebe Performance Tuning tool

Falko Menge, one of our Camunda Consultants, has released a performance benchmarking/tuning tool that he has been using for the past year with Camunda customers to tune Zeebe for their production workloads. It is a spreadsheet template for creating and recording performance tests, and observing the effects of the various parameters on performance. We did a live stream explaining how it works, which you can view here. The spreadsheet itself is available here. You can make a copy of the spreadsheet and use it for your own testing. If you want to watch a longer explanation of the parameters, we did a more detailed stream on it a month ago, which you can watch here. If you want to provide…

Hyperautomation: The Future of Process Automation

Process automation has undergone a significant evolution in the past decade, but the next step is perhaps the largest of all: hyperautomation. Described as the convergence of RPA, AI, BPM and almost any other technological building brick of the digital age, Gartner sees hyperautomation as one of the top 10 most important strategic tech trends of 2020. As no single tool can replace humans, hyperautomation today involves a combination of tools, including robotic process automation (RPA), intelligent business management software (iBPMS) and AI, with a goal of increasingly AI-driven decision making. Source What is Hyperautomation?  In an interactive discussion between Camunda CEO Jakob Freund and Gartner Research Director Saikat Ray, at CamundaCon LIVE 2020.2, the pair explained that it’s important…

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…

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.

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…
