The document discusses process automation and compares it to robotic process automation (RPA). It outlines different types of process automation scenarios based on factors like process complexity, scale, and scope. Examples are provided of companies like Helsana and Zalando that have successfully used process automation with Camunda to automate insurance applications and online order fulfillment. The document also provides an example architecture of a process automation implementation and discusses what is needed for organizations to get started with process automation.

Process Automation Scenario Unique Standard Desired Unnecessary Complex Simple Process complexity Process Innovation Process Big Small Scale Process Task Scope Planned Ad-hoc or temporary Project setup e.g. accounting software e.g. onboarding process that needs to include a lot of legacy systems e.g. insurances using telematics data e.g. webshop selling innovative products e.g. integrating one standard cloud system with another e.g. one business department solving a local pain e.g. end-to-end load origination process invoking lots of other services e.g. lots of applications, people or developers involved. Large volume of instances. e.g. automating one single task in a larger process e.g. end-to-end processes like customer onboarding, loan origination, order fulfillment. e.g. a budgeted IT project resulting in an application having a couple of years life time. e.g. a one-time data adjustment for millions of records
