Prozessunterstützung in Software-Anwendungen

The development and maintenance of operational IT systems is associated with a high financial and time expenditure. The reason for this lies on the one hand in the individuality of these systems and the resulting need to adapt standard software to the specific needs of the company, and on the other hand in the fast-moving nature of business processes, which necessitates constant changes to these individual developments. Supporting this individuality and constant change is a challenge for software development, and this is precisely what the author Philipp Konradi addresses in detail. Based on a practical use case, he examines various approaches for mapping processes more flexibly in software. In particular, the topics of business process and workflow management, workflow management systems, process specification and process modeling languages are examined.
