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…

Hello Process Automation, Good Bye 2020
Like many, at Camunda we’re looking forward to getting 2020 behind us. Yet with all its challenges and unexpected twists and turns, we were fortunate to also experience many bright spots throughout the year. The pandemic forced us, along with our user community, customers and partners to revisit well-laid plans and work around inevitable disruptions. Yet, as organizations large and small navigated the challenges associated with remote work and newly distributed teams, the need for the “digital enterprise” and fully automated processes became more apparent than ever. Our process automation platform proved to be fast to implement and scale in a time of need and helped many organizations around the world to adapt to new circumstances. As a result, we…

Camunda Community Review 2020
Camunda, both as a company and a platform, is lucky to have strong involvement every step of the way from a thriving community. While a lot has happened this year, I felt it’s good to highlight what the community has achieved in three simple categories. Code, Community and Comrades. Code: lots of people write code that embedded and extended Camunda projects like the Engine and our Modeler. A special group of people then go the extra mile to make it available to the rest of the community and support it as it’s used. Community: There can be an innate feeling of community that can’t exist without individuals working to make an engaging, inclusive environment for its current and future members,…

Is Automation the Key to Modernization?
Automation and modernization have been tightly linked for centuries. The Jacquard loom brought automation to weaving in the 18th century, transforming a craft into a modern factory enterprise. Similarly, early digital computers brought automation to banking and other industries, heralding the transformative modernization that characterized the mid-20th century. Today’s automation technologies represent the pinnacle of such technological process. From digital process automation to artificial intelligence, from enterprise content management to robotic process automation, today’s enterprise IT leaders have a plethora of automation technologies to choose from. You would think, then, that leveraging such technologies to modernize the enterprise would be a straightforward affair. Replace the hand weavers with automated looms or replace human ‘computers’ with mechanical ones and you’re done,…

Measure Your Coverage
Let’s continue with our blog series “Treat your processes like code – test them!” Today we will take a closer look at a frequently discussed topic: Test coverage. But what role does coverage play in testing BPMN models and how can coverage be measured? In this post we will address the following questions: For this purpose, we are going to extend the example from our previous posts. You can find it in our GitHub repository. If you haven’t read them already, check out the other posts in this series: Why is test coverage an important metric for developing automated processes? The short answer is: From a technical perspective, BPMN is a programming language, so it should be treated as one….
