Business Orchestration and Automation Technologies (BOAT) with linqi: Efficient processes for businesses

In an increasingly digitalised world, businesses need to design their processes efficiently and respond flexibly to changing business environments and challenges. Business Orchestration and Automation Technologies (BOAT) offer a way to automate and optimise workflows. In addition, linqi documents all these processes for you fully automatically in BPMN 2.0. linqi’s BOAT platform enables businesses to model and execute both complex and simple processes with just a few clicks, without the need for in-depth programming or IT knowledge.

What is BOAT?

Business Orchestration and Automation Technologies (BOAT) comprise methods and tools for automating and controlling business processes. The aim is to minimise manual tasks, synchronise workflows and ensure seamless collaboration between different systems, teams or even departments.

Modern BOAT platforms offer the following benefits:

• Automation of repetitive tasks to reduce errors and save time
• Integration of various systems to ensure a seamless flow of data, including between IT systems
• Increased transparency through real-time dashboards and monitoring
• Scalability to keep pace with growing requirements.

BOAT and related technologies

BOAT platforms are closely linked to various automation and development technologies that help businesses optimise their business processes:

• Robotic Process Automation (RPA): Automates repetitive, rule-based tasks by mimicking human interactions with software applications.
• Business Process Automation (BPA): Helps to model, automate and optimise complex business processes.
• Workflow Automation: Connects various applications and services to enable automated data transfers and task execution.
• Low-Code Application Development: Enables the rapid creation and iteration of applications and workflows with minimal coding, allowing organisations to operate more flexibly.
• Artificial Intelligence (AI): Specialised and generative AI accelerates the adoption of BOAT platforms by enabling the autonomous and intelligent orchestration of tasks and workflows that previously required human intervention.

All these related technologies can be easily integrated within the linqi process platform. Simply link a wide variety of activities within your workflow to extend your business processes – for example, with an RPA application.

Why are BOAT platforms relevant?

In a world where businesses are faced with increasing complexity, growing volumes of data and constantly changing market conditions, BOAT plays a crucial role. Companies must remain flexible, efficient and capable of innovation in order to survive in the market, even in difficult times. BOAT platforms help to eliminate manual processes, break down silos and dynamically manage business processes. By automating tasks and intelligently orchestrating systems, companies save time, reduce costs and improve the quality of their services.

Use cases for BOAT platforms

BOAT platforms differ from traditional BPM (Business Process Management) systems in that they not only model and document processes, but also actively orchestrate and automate them in real time. Whilst BPM often focuses on process optimisation, BOAT enables dynamic, event-driven automation with seamless system integration.

BOAT platforms such as linqi are used across numerous industries and business areas. Typical use cases include:

• Onboarding new employees: Automated workflows for the recruitment process, from signing the contract to provisioning IT access.
• Customer service optimisation: Intelligent ticket routing and automation of service requests to improve response times.
• Supply chain management: Real-time synchronisation of orders, stock levels and supplier communications.
• Invoice and payment processing: Automated processing and approval of invoices to reduce manual errors and delays.
• Compliance and audit tracking: Automated documentation and reporting to meet regulatory requirements.
• IT and Security Management: Automated provisioning and deactivation of user accounts to ensure consistent implementation of IT security policies.
• Project management: Automated task and resource management to make project workflows more efficient.
• Order and contract management: End-to-end automation of quotation, contract and order processes to speed up processing and improve traceability.
