Trends
Adaptive Case Management (ACM)
Adaptive Case Management (ACM) allows the automation of unstructured processes by ad hoc additions of new roles and tasks. The Axon.ivy Digital Business Platform natively supports these ad hoc processes, where processes can be loosely coupled with flexible connections between them. A signal code controls whether one process does or does not trigger another process. As data must be shared between those processes, the digital business platform provides a non-relational (schema-less) database that can be accessed simultaneously by multiple processes.
Low Code Application Composition
Processes can be defined and implemented without programming or process modelling skills, both online and in real time. That way, processes with clearly defined rules and competences are digitalized rapidly and available right away. Gartner calls this trendsetting implementation approach “Citizen Developer.” It is assumed that at least 80% of all back-office processes will be implemented using this approach in the future.
Internet of Things (IoT)
AXON IVY integrates IoT directly in its Axon.ivy BPM Suite as an IoT gateway, thus allowing an ideal exchange between IoT devices and the business process.
Example: Nurse 2.0
IoT and BPM allow nurses to work in an entirely different manner. It is not enough to give her a tablet device to temperature of patients. Thanks to IoT, temperatures are continuously monitored, appropriate medication is automatically administered and the nurse, or even the doctor, is immediately and accurately notified in case of complications. Nurse 2.0 wastes no time changing rooms; but rather, focuses on value-adding, lifesaving activities.
Blockchain
Blockchain technology ensures that a transaction between two parties can be trusted. Data is not saved in one place but distributed over different encrypted chains. Organizations are now starting to embrace the technology to create open, trusted transaction chains and it is becoming necessary to build business processes and models using blockchain technology. To meet that demand, the Axon.ivy Digital Business Platform integrates established blockchain technologies.
