In business automation
BPM helps define who does what before connecting applications. It is useful when the same process passes between departments and includes exceptions, approvals, or unclear responsibilities.
Examples
These examples illustrate a possible workflow. Adapt the connections and rules to your own systems.
Business process example
For employee onboarding, the process maps who approves the position, who creates accounts, and who orders equipment. Only after responsibilities and exceptions are agreed upon do they build automations to move tasks between steps.
