Digital Transformation powered by BPM

Being a BPM practitioner for over a decade and half,  to me Digital transformation is all about delivering the orchestration of people, systems and devices at a level that could not be achieved by traditional means.

iBPMS (intelligent business process management suites) provides a competitive edge in the race towards digital transformation as it lets you re-engineer processes in days rather than years. It provides ways to re-model business processes, imagining new and better ways of performing operations. Starting 2016, some of the leading BPM suites have broken the barrier of structured work processes by handling more complex, unstructured knowledge-led work requiring deep case visibility.

The result of which is the energy companies in Washington area have started developing the prototypes that involves complex IoT operations. They are planning to automate and regulate the energy consumption and repair by using sensors to send signals to BPM via IoT protocols. Thereby freeing up their ground crew to carry out the costly maintenance and saving them the trip to the problematic energy household meters.

In summary, BPM is powering the digital transformation for companies today for two key reasons:

1. It provides flexibility by wrap around legacy IT environments to deliver digital agility on top of rigid systems.
2. It has broken the barrier of structured work processes there by enabling the businesses to receive, inject and manage huge amount of data, various types of data at a speed higher than ever before.
