Three decades ago assembler was an essential skill and sure pass to newly emerging digital world. Ever since then, digital systems progressively grew in complexity, and programming languages respectively evolved with them to higher levels of aggregation and abstraction. With present level of development in IT and digital business platforms, low level programming skills no [...]
By definition, ROI is the only measure of business efficiency and success of any business initiative, such as BPM. On most fundamental level the mission of business is to invest and return the money with a surplus value. ROI measures exactly this.

Of course, a company doesn't think of anything. But management does. Management can think of BPM or not. If management [...]
Integrated development environments (in short, IDE) dominate nearly every area of modern IT. Developers cannot work productively without a graphical shell, which accelerates routine code writing and wraps common constructs. Despite common belief of business, IT is the area occupied by low-code platforms. Why these low code platforms of IT are not recognized as such [...]
It is often believed that automation concerns replacement of humans by machines, in general, and by computers in IT scope, in particular. However, in its fundamental sense, automation is not an exclusive prerogative of computers and machinery. Rather, automation addresses a fundamental level of functional formalization of any activity. Automation aggregates a knowledge about necessary [...]

As such, IT and BPM are often exactly antagonistic to a pleasant customer journey. Customers, except for most misanthropic ones, naturally prefer human interaction instead of an IT system. It is enough to remember all frustration, which anybody had a chance to encounter at least once, while wandering across innumerous levels of auto-responder menu in desperate [...]
Process frameworks are essential assets crucial for the success of any BPM initiative. Process frameworks represent natural enclosure to essential BPM implementation experience, which was already accumulated by other organizations in the course of their BPM journey. Process frameworks are composed of best practices collected by BPM visioners to facilitate and accelerate adoption of BPM. [...]
BPM solutions are commonly associated with low-code / no-code approach in IT management. But what exactly means the word "code" in this widely spread acronym? Programming code used by software engineers is just a technical language utilized to express business logic in a form understandable for IT systems. It is more relevant to speak not [...]
Robotic Process Automation is generally an acronym for software, which closely mimics behavior of humans when interacting with various computer systems. There exist several most common use cases for this technology. 1. It is commonly used in various test automation scenarios when it is necessary to reproduce hypothetical behavior of software users with system under [...]
