The engine requires at least one end event to state that the process has finished, after this event nothing else will be performed within the Workflow. The engine requires at least one start event to instantiate a process this event states where the automation will start from within a Workflow. Each BPMN symbol performs a certain step within a process, automation or configuration within the Workflow Engine. The BPMN symbols that can be used when constructing different Workflows can be found in the Toolbox section of the Workflow Designer user interface. The different BPMN symbols and elements, such as tasks, events and gateways are all part of the BPMN specification, this means the workflow functionality will be able to be understood, maintained and amended by our customers many business analysts, developers or subject matter experts. The more important the IT is in a company, the more helpful the use of BPMN becomes.Īdding the BPMN specification to IFS Cloud allows someone already familiar with BPMN to be able to configure the different actions using our Workflow Designer. Implementation in IT - BPMN has been primarily developed to support the technical implementation of processes (“Process Automation”).This way of precise modeling is possible, but not mandatory.

However, this is more difficult than only roughly describing the process.

Provides a standard notation that is understandable by many different business employees/stakeholders and makes for the maintenance of these workflows easier.īusiness Process Model and Notation (BPMN) is the global standard for process modeling and one of the most important components of successful Business-IT-Alignment.
