Beyond RPA: How to Build Toward End-to-end Process Automation

Robotic Process Automation has come of age, with Forrester Research predicting the RPA market revenue is on target to reach $2.9 billion this year. It’s not hard to see why this market is maturing fast, with RPA promising an easy and quick fix to automate many of the manual, repetitive tasks that require manual data input or an exchange of data with an inflexible legacy system. RPA bots can be deployed quickly and deliver an immediate productivity boost, not to mention significant cost savings. But with so many tools available on the market — you can find everything from vendors promoting low-code solutions to code-heavy approaches, all marketed under the RPA banner —  it’s becoming imperative to differentiate RPA from…

Is there an alternative to spaghetti?

When it comes to food, definitely not. Spaghetti Bolognese needs few ingredients, is quickly prepared and always tastes great – at least to me 😉 But what I am actually getting at? Spaghetti Code. In contrast to a meal, Spaghetti Code is not eaten up in a few minutes. It stays, is extended, changes, grows and grows and grows. It is the same with microservices. If you start with microservices, you always have to consider how fine-grained services are cut. In the end, the spaghetti effect shifts from code to orchestrating components. This component must know all the small services and connect them with each other. The same can be found in manual activities that have not been automated or…

Camunda Modeler 4.5 Released

We are happy to announce the release of Camunda Modeler 4.5.

Modernizing RPA Deployment with an Eye Toward the Future

Your organization is only as successful as its processes. But if your business is, like many, using a patchwork of off-the-shelf and proprietary software and platforms — your core business processes aren’t running in true end-to-end fashion; instead, they’re executed in silos.  The Robotic Process Automation (RPA) bots you deployed to replace repetitive human tasks? If you’re like 9 out of 10 process automation experts we surveyed, those bots may still provide value, but will likely turn cumbersome and complex as your business needs and processes evolve. And if you’ve tried to scale RPA deployments or implement more complex RPA script orchestrations, you’ve discovered how brittle and high-maintenance your RPAs have become.  The end result of this situation is that…

Retaining Community Knowledge on the Slack Free Tier with a Slack bot

“There is a lot of valuable information in this Slack, but whenever I come back to find it, it’s gone because of the 10,000 message limit. Can we move this community to Discord, which has persistent message history?” That message, from a community member in the Zeebe Slack, triggered a DevRel project that resulted in the Slack Archivist – a Slack bot that allows valuable conversations to be archived from the community Slack to a dedicated searchable topic in our Discourse-powered Forum. The Problem Slack is ubiquitous. You probably have it open right now, and are in several different Slack teams. We use Slack internally at Camunda, on a paid plan, and when it came time to stand something up…
