The modern working world knows both: the same structured
activities that work more efficiently when managed by process
models, and knowledge-based tasks whose completion demands
greater freedom during execution. Modern BPM provides support
for both concepts.

The Three Pillars of Modern Business Process Management SolutionsAppian
Business Process Management (BPM) is a term that has evolved over the past few years from software tools to technology suite to management system - now it helps accelerate digital transformation. Learn more: http://ap.pn/2s13WqW
When implementing a new business application, most organizations feel they need to choose between “build” versus “buy”. Building your own application means everything is possible, but building complex applications is a risky venture. Buying a standard application provides all the advantages of pre-configuration, but has limited flexibility. Although most organizations prefer standard applications, they end up adapting them, leading to high cost of ownership, and long change cycles.
However, a third approach has emerged, reconciling the differences between build and buy. Model-driven applications come with an out-of-the-box configuration, as would be expected of a packaged business application, yet it can be adapted without development effort.
The main characteristic of a model-based application is that the business rules and business logic are not stored within the application, but are defined, stored and maintained in a user-accessible repository. Making changes in that repository then automatically leads to changes in the application.
The paper focuses on strategy, organization and cultural aspects of managing model-driven business applications, such as Be Informed.
Every company recognizes the benefits of BPM, but organizations find it difficult to define a holistic BPM strategy because there is no holistic BPM framework available. Therefore we developed the Enterprise BPM framework. This BPM framework will help you: 1.To perform a BPM roadmap assessment and create a BPM roadmap 2.Discover the business issues 3. Explain the required BPM tools & projects 4.Create a financial BPM benefits case. Within this book we will provide the results of the BPM maturity research in more than 1000 companies and the results of BPM roadmap assessments within industry leaders. We will explain why the Operational Excellence group and the ERP CC should work together and why the role of the CPO (Chief Processing Officer) is so important. One opinion of an independent industry analysts is: “The Enterprise BPM framework is interesting because this is the first framework where the different BPM topics are integrated into one framework to create a BPM roadmap...

Organizations are under increasing pressure to manage the costs and risks of servicing customer requests. Whether the request is a loan, claim, or benefit, there is a need for a greater emphasis on automating and tracking inconsistent “incidents” that do not follow a well-defined process. These incidents are the result of new demands from regulators, auditors, and litigants based on external regulations. Moreover, the increased use of collaboration and social media has challenged organizations that rely on static business processes implemented in frozen legacy systems. Dynamic Case Management solves these challenges by providing a means to handle ad hoc and unstructured requests in a reliable way.

Towards a Software Framework for Automatic Business Process RedesignIDES Editor
A key element to the success of any organization is
the ability to continuously improve its business process
performance. Efficient Business Process Redesign (BPR)
methodologies are needed to allow organizations to face the
changing business conditions. For a long time, practices for
BPR were done case-by-case and were based on the insights
and knowledge of an expert to the organization. It can be
argued that efficiency, however, can further be achieved with
the support of automatic process redesign tools which are few
at the moment. Process mining as a recent approach allows
for the extraction of information from event logs recorded in
different information systems. In this paper we argue that
results driven by process mining techniques can be used to
capture the various types of inefficiencies in the organization
and hence propose efficient redesigns of its business model.
We first give an outline on the current directions towards
automatic BPR followed by a review on the different process
mining techniques and its usage in different applications.
Then, a specific framework of a Software tool that uses process
mining to support automatic BPR is presented.

First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.
Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.
In software engineering, the right architecture is essential for robust, scalable platforms. Wix has undergone a pivotal shift from event sourcing to a CRUD-based model for its microservices. This talk will chart the course of this pivotal journey.
Event sourcing, which records state changes as immutable events, provided robust auditing and "time travel" debugging for Wix Stores' microservices. Despite its benefits, the complexity it introduced in state management slowed development. Wix responded by adopting a simpler, unified CRUD model. This talk will explore the challenges of event sourcing and the advantages of Wix's new "CRUD on steroids" approach, which streamlines API integration and domain event management while preserving data integrity and system resilience.
Participants will gain valuable insights into Wix's strategies for ensuring atomicity in database updates and event production, as well as caching, materialization, and performance optimization techniques within a distributed system.
Join us to discover how Wix has mastered the art of balancing simplicity and extensibility, and learn how the re-adoption of the modest CRUD has turbocharged their development velocity, resilience, and scalability in a high-growth environment.

BPM - better without the waterfall
1. G R O U P
Business Process Management
Better without
the waterfall
Author: Dr Gregor Joeris, Product Manager of the SER Group
2. The modern working world knows both: the same structured
activities that work more efficiently when managed by process
models, and knowledge-based tasks whose completion demands
greater freedom during execution. Modern BPM provides support
for both concepts.
“Doing by Design” refers to the classic top-down process management for structured processes,
also known as the “waterfall model”
Business Process Management is tradi-
tionally understood as a normative
management of processes – derived
from the work-sharing production pro-
cesses in industry. Applied to office
work, normative BPM guides “producti-
on workers” as they execute strongly
regimented work steps. The modern
“knowledge worker”, on the other hand,
is confronted with a variety of tasks
that are by no means forced into a strict
process framework. Therefore, the
general automation of office work, in
contrast to industrial production, does
not necessarily lead to greater efficien-
cy. Due consideration should be given
to whether or not a process can be
automated. Only then, where the
sequence of routine work can be exact-
ly described, is automation possible, for
example often for auditing and invoice
approval. However, anywhere that
human decisions are best made, pro-
cess models that are too narrowly
defined can prove disadvantageous.
Here, “knowledge workers” need to
keep the upper hand in order to be able
to make assessments and provide inst-
ructions based on their knowledge and
skills. The knowledge work falls to the
person. Automation is often too inflexi-
ble and elaborate to reflect the comple-
xity of reality. With complaint manage-
ment, processing cases of damage or
selecting applications, decisions must
be made on a case-by-case basis. Com-
pletely managing knowledge workers
here using process models is not useful,
motivational or results-oriented!
There thus needs to be another process
model outside of automation, one that
does not focus on the process but ins-
tead the case, for which a goal has been
set. A case can be the customer, a pro-
ject, an order or a complaint.
To better clarify this, Business Process
Management distinguishes between
“normative” (“Doing by Design”) and
“adaptive” BPM (“Design by Doing”).
Both sub-disciplines of Business Pro-
cess Management are equally found in
company practice. The normative BPM,
also called “Production Workflow”,
addresses processes for which the
course of action can be determined
beforehand, while the adaptive BPM,
also known as “Adaptive Case Manage-
ment”, “Ad-hoc Workflow” or “Smart
Process Applications” (according to
Forrester), supports any activity carried
out by the knowledge worker proces-
sing a case. The definition of the EABPM,
an association of legally independent
national companies for the promotion
of Business Process Management, can
thus be understood as follows: “Busi-
ness Process Management is a syste-
matic approach toward entering, desig-

ning, documenting, measuring, monito-

non-automated processes, and thus
achieving process goals in accordance
with the company strategy over the
long term. BPM comprises the consci-
ous, joint and increasingly IT-supported
determination, improvement, innovati-
on and maintenance of end-to-end pro-
cesses.”
”Doing by Design”
vs. ”Design by Doing”
The basic principle of the waterfall
models is as follows: the process model
defines the execution. Every exception/
alternative must be defined in the
model – or it will not be possible! This
design concept can be applied to pro-
cesses that never change, for example
order processing in online trade or acti-
vating mobile phones. The process
modelling is often too complex, e.g. for
application processes and many other
typically administrative processes.
“Doing by Design” is completely unsui-
table for the implementation of pro-
jects, for example, and for a situational
workflow management for which no
mandatory processes can be deter-
mined beforehand.
However, the knowledge work of the
knowledge workers does not take place
in a vacuum. Tasks such as processing
an insurance case or a customer request
cannot be strictly regimented. Yet no
administrator or customer advisor rein-
vents the wheel for each case. Instead,
he asks himself whether he has already
dealt with a similar case, which he then
uses as a guide and reference. Or he
asks a colleague: “I'm working on a simi-
lar project to you, can you give me your
project plan, I can change it around to
suit this job.” This “copy and paste”
method takes similar cases as a starting
point in order to generalise them and
extract them as best practice. This rea-
lity-based design principle is also known
as “Design by Doing”.
Integrated ECM & BPM
A modern BPM solution should combine
both disciplines – “Doing by Design” and
“Design by Doing” – in one architecture.
While adaptive and normative BPM is
discussed in theory, here at SER we call
the two sub-disciplines of our Doxis4
iECM Suite “Task and Business Process
Management”.
SER thus takes the approach of “Integ-
rated ECM & BPM” and sets itself apart
from Middleware and integration-orien-
ted BPM systems. In contrast to the
Middleware-oriented BPM systems, with
Integrated ECM & BPM there are no
additional SOA required in order to inte-
grate the BPM into the application
environment. Integrated ECM & BPM
solutions are used across the company,
