video link: https://youtu.be/pNayfJ66MQ0 The design of the underlying process is a critical step in the creation of a solid business application. Bonita Studio is a powerful component to facilitate indispensible collaboration between business users and developers, to build the foundation your business process application needs. This third webinar in our Best Practices series focuses on this major element of a successful automation project. It includes process definition, building the data model, and creating contracts to take advantage of the separation of business logic from the user interface, making later modifications by business collaborators even easier.
