Digital Business Runs on APIs
From social media logins to payment gateways and everything in between, APIs are the building blocks of modern software. However, automating business processes across many different APIs can be complex and it doesn’t account for processes that require human work. Many API-driven processes require additional technologies such as RPA bots and microservices.
Camunda enables you to orchestrate processes that require APIs along with other technologies and work that is done by people, so you always have an end-to-end view on your most important business processes.
Benefits of Effective API Orchestration
- End-to-End Process Transparency
Visualize, troubleshoot, analyze, and improve processes that span across multiple APIs and other process endpoints. Get the business context your stakeholders need, regardless of the number or complexity of the APIs involved.
- Increased Automation
Replace repetitive manual tasks with orchestrated APIs to increase the level of automation in your processes, improve their efficiency, and reduce the chance of human error.
- Agility for Process Modernization
Replace RPA bots and other brittle task automations with APIs without redesigning business processes or disrupting processes that are in progress.
