Introduction
Macroeconomic conditions and global events such as the COVID-19
pandemic have caused a rapid adoption of technology and
automation. Yet in the wake of this technology spending spree,
many organizations are re-evaluating the efficiency and business
value of their automation efforts. How do people, systems, and
devices work together to power end-to-end automation, vs. siloed
automation projects?

According to Deloitte, 92% of advanced automation adopters take


advantage of end-to-end automation as a part of their strategy now,
or plan to do so in the next three years. Process orchestration can
help organizations achieve this goal, while leveraging the technology
and talent investments they’ve already made.

In this eBook, we’ll dive into the research and trends that have
driven the rapid, yet fragmented, adoption of technology and
automation solutions. From there, we will demonstrate how
process orchestration can help organizations make the most of
existing people, systems, and devices. By introducing the Process
Orchestration Maturity Model, we’ll bring organizations along a path
toward improving business outcomes of their automation efforts,
such as:

▪ Marked improvements in customer experience, driving revenue


opportunity

▪ Greater internal efficiency, lowering costs

▪ A higher degree of overall automation, driving digital


transformation objectives.

Exploring Process Orchestration Maturity Model levels in depth

Level 0: No Process Orchestration

Organizations who fall into the Level 0 stage of maturity have


no process orchestration practice or capabilities across the five
identified drivers. That means these organizations have not yet
implemented process orchestration within their organization. While
some individual elements of an organization’s disparate processes
may have automated components, often these elements are too
dispersed to be measured — and as a result, many may not be able
to understand the benefits of these efforts.

These organizations stand to gain the most from process


orchestration, as small changes will wield what feels like significant
results. For example, taking steps toward implementing process
orchestration can enable IT teams to plan more effectively, and
work cross-functionally to achieve the desired business results
from automation. By removing what may seem to be small or
inconsequential silos, these organizations can drive meaningful
change when it comes to risk management, customer experience
and retention, employee experience, and customer acquisition and
revenue growth.

Level 1: Single Process Orchestration Projects/Ad Hoc

Organizations at this level of maturity are just beginning to realize


how process orchestration can support their business needs on a
project-to-project level. Organizations at this level often focus on
investing resources into the people, methods, and technologies
needed to improve their business-critical processes and to
understand how these efforts can drive further organizational value.

Organizations in this stage of maturity often have one or more of


these characteristics across the five drivers of process orchestration
maturity:

▪ Vision: Organizations at this level are incorporating process


orchestration into a single, mission-critical project. Alternatively,
they are focused on projects that address a “broken” process, or
process that needs to be better optimized to deliver value to the
organization.

A major growth area would be to consider deploying process


orchestration across different departments or teams, to achieve
scale throughout the organization. The main shift in thinking is
evolving from a single project or process toward driving long-
term value or transforming the business.

▪ Motivation: As mentioned above, these organizations are


motivated to incorporate process orchestration in single,
mission-critical projects or solutions. Often, there is an urgent
need to “fix” broken or inefficient processes, which justifies
the initial investment in process orchestration resources. In

8  camunda.com
other words, “painful” problems better mobilize resources,
vs. seeking to better optimize processes to drive better value
across a business unit.

▪ Team Structure: The IT team (usually one team at this level of


maturity) embarking on initial process orchestration projects
must complete a robust set of tasks from scratch, and therefore
must expend a significant amount of time standing up the
initial process orchestration solution: understanding the tech
solution, procuring it, installing it, and integrating it into the
organization’s existing technology stack. They will also need to
spend a significant amount of time upskilling the individual team
members on how to best work within the solution and to use it
to collaborate with business users.

Should the team take on additional process orchestration


projects or look to orchestrate additional processes and
workflows, their team will often take a more decentralized,
“sprouting mushroom approach” to the disparate projects, as
opposed to trying to centralize their knowledge and resources
for more efficient and scalable work.

▪ Measurement: These organizations are focused on completing


single, high-need process orchestration projects, and
any individual success metrics or definitions of success
will correlate to these projects - if they even exist. Many
organizations in this stage of maturity may not have identified
specific success metrics other than “project is in production.”
Additionally, these organizations follow a traditional “waterfall
style” project lifecycle; once the process is in production and
demonstrably better than the project was before, the team will
likely consider it “closed” and move on to their next project, as
opposed to continuously monitoring and optimizing the process.

▪ Technology: These organizations are open to procuring and


using a process orchestration platform or other best-of-breed
solution to fix those mission-critical processes, but may not
be looking for additional opportunities or elements at this time
that would empower future deployment at scale, such as cloud.
However, these organizations are beginning to question the
legacy systems or monolithic on-premise solutions that limit
advancement, and have the most potential to galvanize digital
transformation through optimizing their technology stack.

9  camunda.com
Level 2: Broader Process Orchestration Initiatives

Organizations at this level of maturity have evolved past the “we just
need to fix what is broken” mindset, and are beginning to question
how to initiate broader process orchestration initiatives to bring
more tangible value to the organization. As organizations at this
level build their strategy and develop their team structures, they
may still struggle with meaningful measurement.

Organizations in this stage of maturity often have one or more of


these characteristics across the five drivers of process orchestration
maturity:

▪ Vision: Organizations have moved their attention from single


projects to broader initiatives. They hope to deliver more value
to the organization, with an eye on building better business
outcomes from their scaled-up practice. However, since these
organizations still struggle to accurately measure the success
from their process orchestration work in terms of business
outcomes or value driven, they may not realize the full benefits
of a higher level of maturity.

▪ Motivation: Organizations who have experienced initial process


orchestration success in individual projects are now looking
to launch larger, broader company initiatives. The aim of
these initiatives is to begin to derive better value from process
orchestration for the organization in terms of critical business
outcomes, such as:
▪ Customer experience
▪ Operational efficiency
▪ Compliance.

▪ Team Structure: As teams gain more process experience, their


priorities shift to enabling less technically advanced teams.
These teams will most likely include the business teams that are
responsible for business processes, or the business roles most
involved in the processes and workflows being orchestrated.
These IT teams want to empower these roles to understand why
a process works the way it does, how they should operate in the
workflow and best collaborate with the IT team for an effective,
efficient process.

This desire is driven in part by the organization’s increased


expectations of the IT team. These teams have been given
a charter to create positive ROI for less technical and
less mission-critical projects, and need to maximize their
effectiveness here in order to succeed.

▪ Measurement: These organizations are increasingly focused on


defining and measuring success metrics for individual process
orchestration projects and/or processes within their larger
initiatives, but still struggle to clearly define what success looks
like and how to track it. There is no delineation here between
success metrics for these initiatives and KPIs for the value and
outcomes they are hoping to drive.

10  camunda.com
▪ Technology: These organizations are focusing on building a
single technology stack that covers the entire process lifecycle.
However, as the organization gains maturity, they will evolve
their outlook on this single stack to ensure that they are only
investing in and leveraging the elements they need, as opposed
to trying to create a “complete” solution.

Additionally, these organizations are leveraging their recent


technology wins to increase investment in process orchestration
and other solution accelerator services that can be combined with a
process orchestration platform to deliver even more results faster.

Level 3: Distributed Process Orchestration Adoption

Organizations at this level of maturity are well on their way to using


their process orchestration practice to drive business outcomes
at scale. They have a clear understanding of the power of process
orchestration, and are building a roadmap to deliver bigger results
faster across the organization. They have the right personnel in
place and are working on the team structures and measurement
practices that empower them to accelerate solutions across
departmental silos and isolated business functions.

Organizations in this stage of maturity often have one or more of


these characteristics across the five drivers of process orchestration
maturity:

▪ Vision: These organizations have clear intent on the strategic


value they want to derive from deploying process orchestration
at scale. They are moving beyond their broader initiatives to
devising a practice where process orchestration supports actual
digital transformation — through the delivery of better business
outcomes for the entire organization.

▪ Motivation: These organizations have seen the power of


process orchestration, and want to harness it to drive strategic
business outcomes, at scale and at a rapid pace, for the entire
organization.

▪ Team Structure: Teams have been diligently building


their process orchestration expertise and skills, and have
concentrated this knowledge into a centralized unit, group, or
team. This unit may be considered a “Center of Excellence,” or
may instead be a distributed global team. These CoEs/global
teams are focused not on building specific projects, but instead
creating the mechanisms needed to make process orchestration
and optimization repeatable. The goal is enablement, or
unlocking potential for other teams to automate their own
projects.

11  camunda.com
▪ Measurement: These organizations have established clear
success metrics and are using them to track success for their
individual process orchestration projects, but are also starting to
explore establishing process orchestration KPIs for more broad
and deep objectives, such as:
▪ Number of endpoints and people within processes
▪ How many processes in the organization are optimized
▪ How process orchestration is crossing silos across
departments
▪ The number of use cases within the organization
incorporating process orchestration

Organizations are also beginning to define organization-wide,


value-based KPIs where process orchestration can support
achievement, such as:
▪ Cost savings
▪ Better compliance
▪ More customers

▪ Technology: These organizations are committed to investing


in the elements within their technology stack that will increase
solution acceleration. These elements help drive larger business
outcomes through broader and deeper process orchestration
adoption.

These organizations are also looking to allocate resources


based on technical use cases, and are interested in running their
technology stack as a platform where multiple teams can build
solutions and also combine process orchestration with other
solutions to deliver efficiency at scale.

These organizations still need to ensure their process


orchestration technology usage is consolidated and scaled.
Many may fall into the trap of “fragmented automation,” where
the amount of processes that have automation elements (for
example, through RPA bots) is quite high, but there is no true
orchestration happening that maximizes the benefits of scaled
automation to enable strategic adoption. This lack of cohesion
prevents these organizations from reaching their true process
orchestration maturity potential.

Level 4: Strategic, Scaled Process Orchestration


Adoption

Organizations at this level of maturity are delivering on their digital


transformation goals, due to their ability to drive better business
outcomes. These outcomes are achieved in large part due to the
organization’s ability to deploy process orchestration at scale across
the entire company. Sophisticated strategies, teams, and delivery
methodologies have all combined to drive business outcomes and
deliver value for the organization.

12  camunda.com
Organizations in this stage of maturity often have one or more of
these characteristics across the five drivers of process orchestration
maturity:

▪ Vision: The ability to visualize and articulate a process


orchestration strategy that supports the business’s model and
the ability to execute on that strategy are evenly matched in an
organization at this stage of maturity.

Additionally, these organizations will have clearly defined


strategies pertaining to the technology, methodology, and
people they use to execute process orchestration at scale.

▪ Motivation: These organizations are investing in process


orchestration at scale to drive strategic transformation across
the business. The ability to quickly adapt to deliver value
through process optimization allows the organization to shift
business models to better differentiate or compete.

▪ Team Structure: These organizations have purpose-built


CoEs or global teams that act as nucleus for organizational
transformation. They are fully committed to supporting internal
teams to pilot and automate their own processes, and act as
centralized resources for governance and best practices.

As such, these teams act almost as a professional services


team within the organization, providing enablement & training,
internal business consulting, and technology support (such as
Connector development) for the chosen process orchestration
technology solution, and for process orchestration concepts in
general.

▪ Measurement: These organizations are focused on defining and


measuring large-scale KPIs that demonstrate the effect process
orchestration has on strategic business outcomes.

These organizations are also focused on expanding the number


of teams across the organization that are using process
orchestration by placing experts on each team to support lower
developer resource needs.

▪ Technology: These organizations understand that there is no


“one size fits all” approach to a hyperautomation tech stack, but
instead have built one that fits the organization’s exact needs —
without additional components.

These organizations consider process orchestration as a critical


part of their overall their hyperautomation tech stack.
