By now, it’s safe to say that most organizations have implemented some kind of traditional automation solution to streamline their operations.

Traditional automation can handle relatively simple problems alone. But when we’re talking about more complex processes, breaking down technology silos, or the need to automate more critical tasks, we’ve gone past traditional automation’s limits.

That’s where process orchestration can help. It can help you manage both your manual and automated processes, and here’s the kicker, no matter where they’re located in your organization or what tools built them. And by “manage,” we mean it lets you:

  • Integrate your data and automated processes across systems so they talk to each other – tech silos, eliminated.
  • Identify optimization opportunities among your processes and monitor their performance
  • Map your processes to get a comprehensive view.
  • Automate tasks that involve multiple steps, systems, and stakeholders.

These capabilities are incredible versatile, producing a wide variety of use cases that persuade organizations to implement process orchestration technology. Let’s look at five popular reasons organizations implement process orchestration and the impacts they can have.

Process Orchestration Use Cases

5 Reasons to Implement Process Orchestration

1. It Can Reduce the Complexity of Your Processes

Overcomplexity is one of the leading causes of inefficient, delay-prone processes, making it a top use case for process orchestration.

Process orchestration gives you a comprehensive view of your processes so you can see how elaborate they are from a bird’s eye view. Then, it lets you make changes to simplify the process. It even offers guidance so you can rest assured that every change you make aligns with your goals relevant to the process.

In other words, it makes process optimization far easier and more precise. As a result, organizations can continuously improve their operations even during busy periods, gaining the agility needed for a competitive edge.

2. It Can Play a Key Role in Boosting Your Security and Compliance

Organizations looking to improve their compliance and security will also find value in process orchestration platforms. This technology is designed with strong security practices and compliance certifications. This way, you can ensure that new applications and workflows, as well as your current setup, can continue to reinforce security best practices and keep compliance burdens as minimal as possible.

3. It Can Optimize Your Digital and Human Resource Allocation

If effective resource allocation is a priority for your organization, process orchestration can come in handy here, too. You can significantly reduce waste and operational costs when you automate the management of resources like storage, networks, and servers with process orchestration. But it also goes beyond digital resources, as process orchestration can manage complex workflows to ensure that human intervention is only tapped into when absolutely necessary. This way, your employees can use their time as effectively as possible, as well.

4. It Can Enable More Effective Cross-Team Collaboration

Another incredible process orchestration use cases is its ability to eliminate technology silos is that departments across your organization can more easily collaborate with each other. It provides a unified platform where teams can work together with ease. With process orchestration, your IT systems can automatically direct tasks to the correct team members at the right time, which is a huge win for the business side of your operations. But for employees on the tech side, process orchestration lets them deploy new applications and workflows using a unified DevSecOps environment, keeping everyone on the same page and allowing them to resolve issues faster.

5. It Can Be Used to Accelerate Time to Market

As you know, agility is so vital in the business world because it allows your organization to respond to changing demands as they evolve. Process orchestration can aid in this by accelerating the development, implementation, and management of new services and applications. These platforms come with easy to use tools that let you adjust your orchestrations quickly as needed, which helps you remain adaptable as your needs change. And with that, you can accelerate your time to market and meet demands before your competition can.

Your Systems Will Work in Harmony, and So Will You

As we’ve seen, there are many process orchestration use cases that can enhance organizational operations. By using process orchestration platforms, organizations can accelerate their processes and response times, ensuring that their systems—and their teams—work in harmony in the process.
