How BPM Helps Your Business Solve Development Problems and Innovate Faster

Over the past few years we have quickly learned how the state of the world can shift both how we do business and how we have to meet our client’s needs. Digital transformation tools have become a top priority, if not a necessity, for most companies. We have found that we need better ways of optimizing and streamlining business processes without sacrificing operational efficiency and customer experience.

Broken and manual processes can cause serious operational problems and burden business activities with hidden costs and resources as they look to innovate or change. Thousands of such labor-intensive processes can turn even the most optimal mobile and web apps into digital nightmares for customers. The key to maintaining customer trust is to provide enhanced business process management (BPM) solutions  and BPM software that offer a smoother customer experience. After all, change is only good if it allows for an improved experience.

Gartner predicts that by 2024, organizations will lower operational costs by 30% by combining hyper automation technologies with redesigned operational processes. Have you built that assumption into your short and long-term business strategies?

If not, what does that mean for your business?

• Business leaders need to look for a powerful, trustworthy, and cost-effective BPM tool to outpace the speed of digital business transformation of competitors, as most of your competitors are likely prioritizing digitization. 
• Business analysts and IT professionals need to look for rapid-development tools and methods such as Digital Process Automation (DPA), Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and low-code application development options for accelerated end-to-end automation. 
• IT professionals and business analysts need to look for tools that enable easy and efficient collaboration for seamless front-end and back-end operations.
• Process mining experts and DevOps need to look for empowerment mechanisms such as continuous development to support innovation and improvement via process analytics and AI/ML.

Digital automation offers the best solution for immediate business needs and challenges

Bonitasoft has looked at how we can support these immediate business process automation needs for companies. We know that innovating organizations need tools that allow them to reinvent their strategy, automate business processes, and gain deep visibility into their efficiencies (and inefficiencies). But in what specific ways will the right BPM platform transform your business?

1. When you take advantage of an open-source BPM platform, you get the power of community

“The developers who started Bonitasoft believe that the company’s biggest differentiator is supporting and integrating with tools that application developers already use. They also see open source as a big differentiator."

- Deep Analysis

Bonitasoft has been following its initial commitment to open source since it was begun in 2009. Its founders and employees believed that by making the technology free and available to anyone, the company would democratize process automation technologies, encouraging market adoption of business process management and intelligent process management.

After a decade of persistence, those efforts are paying off. Bonitasoft now has:

• An ecosystem of of more than 240,000 members and customers in 75+ countries, including seasoned Bonita experts worldwide
• An online marketplace with 500+ reusable connectors, process and apps
• A developer community site to share contributions, best practices, Q&A, and ideas
• Free resources: Bonita Community Edition, learning materials, documentation and regular Bonita Camps live and on demand

2. You can better innovate with a modular and fully extensible platform

The Bonita platform offers modularity and extensibility to meet customers' needs for highly personalized applications and effortless system integration. This allows companies to be more flexible as they innovate.
The platform can easily and quickly be connected to almost any information system, which makes it a powerful tool for large companies or institutions with specialized, proprietary, expensive, and heavy legacy software, to create light and responsive applications, and design seamless personalized user experiences for their customers.

Bonita allowed us to quickly get into BPM and into production, due to familiar tools and its ready-to-go portal. We are now more efficient, less error-prone, and have the necessary audit trail on each transaction to fulfill both our accounting and regulatory requirements.

3. Big things have to start small: you can apply Agile methodologies to tackle new process challenges:

Digital transformation requires end-to-end automation, which may include hundreds or even thousands of application developments. Traditional tools are heavy, rigid, expensive, and slow — often utilizing linear, time-consuming methods like waterfall development.

Bonitasoft and its partners handle scenarios much more effectively via Agile methodologies. The Bonita platform supports rapid, iterative development against evolving requirements, and decentralizes process improvements. This helps take the pressure off IT professionals and empowers the people who have the business knowledge.

4. You can get the best of business and IT collaboration by freeing developers and empowering business users

Development teams should be free to create the best BPM applications in the market. This allows for true innovation in the market, and an ability to respond to changing customer needs and market conditions.
Bonitasoft offers low-code tooling for process automation to enable efficient collaboration between professional developers and business experts on the same platform, with specifically targeted tools. Together the team can deliver automation projects and applications, enabling great user experiences that are cost-effective, customizable, easy to adapt and update.
As a result, the Bonitasoft platform provides: 

1. Extension points for developers to add their own code
2. Extensible UI design software for building the web and mobile UI
3. The ability to integrate process low-code tools with widely used coding tools
4. A user-friendly environment for business users to contribute effectively to operational initiatives in DevOps.

5. You can be a leader in innovation. 

Bonitasoft is a visionary company and technology leader in the digital process automation space. Its teams take initiative and are quick to embrace technology standards and trends, such as BPMN2, Docker, Jenkins, SaaS, cloud, low-code, mobile, RPA, continuous development, as well as process mining and AI/ML, and other deployment trends. 
 
Constant innovation allows Bonitasoft to empower its users to innovate themselves. With cutting edge technology and the flexibility to enhance business processes in the way that makes most sense for their business, companies can power ahead of the competition.
