Automation of data driven processes

Data is an indispensable part of any business process. It is simply impossible to imagine a process, which operates without certain input as a starting condition and without an output representing its results. In one or another form, these inputs and outputs are always associated with certain business data. A process is a flow (in business terms, a workflow) transforming the data.

On another hand, data is amorphous and shapeless without a process behind. Data is always a result of certain process and always have a reservation of consumption by one or another process sooner or later. Rarely somebody stores the data, especially, business data, entirely without an intent for subsequent usage.

Business process is a fundamental foundation, which shapes the data and gives it a business sense. Data with an undefined or lost business context become a silos. Synthesis of the data and its associated processes in a business model is the cornerstone for consistent storage of the data and its effective usage in successful process automation.

Agile Processes and Customer Experience

Despite all fashionable favor, agile processes are a disaster in terms of customer outcomes . Imagine that you ordered a fridge but received a dishwasher instead. It is unlikely that you will be happy on this sort of creative agility. Customer process must be as precise and reliable as a Swiss clock. It is another story that customers always do their best to break this clock's precision in every possible and impossible manner: change their mind ten times a day, disappear at the moment of delivery, break supplied goods and claim a refund etc. And yet, customers highly appreciate flexibility of a company in response to their instant whims. We must not confuse agility of customers with precision of the company in response to agile client demands. Company can achieve accuracy and flexibility in serving clients only through rigorous process approach with detailed mapping of all possible client scenarios. Naturally, this detailed work-through may yield dozens and even hundredths of co
