Business Process Model (BPM)

New .7.x

A Business Process Model (BPM) provides a structured, visual representation of how your organization’s business processes flow—across departments, systems, and even between on-premise and cloud environments. With Nodinite BPM, you can design, document, and monitor every step of your integration landscape, ensuring complete traceability and operational excellence.

Business processes rarely exist in isolation. Modern enterprises rely on complex chains of systems and services, often spanning both on-premise and cloud platforms. Nodinite BPM bridges these worlds, letting you visualize and manage the entire process from a single pane of glass. Whether your process involves legacy systems, SaaS applications, or hybrid integrations, you gain true end-to-end visibility.

Why use a Business Process Model?

A BPM helps you:

  • Break down complex business operations into clear, manageable steps
  • Map responsibilities and ownership using Domains (horizontal swimlanes)
  • Visualize the flow of information and actions across your organization
  • Identify bottlenecks, dependencies, and opportunities for automation
  • Ensure compliance and governance by documenting every process milestone

With Nodinite, you go beyond static diagrams. You connect each step and domain to live monitoring and logging, so you always know the real-time state of your business processes.

✅ Visualize and document end-to-end business processes with a swimlane-based designer
✅ Leverage unique milestone-based logging for full process traceability
✅ Monitor every service and resource in real time—directly from the designer
✅ Reuse domains and steps across processes for consistent, scalable documentation
✅ Empower teams to act instantly with remote actions and live state feedback
✅ Achieve true end-to-end insight, even when processes span on-premise and cloud systems
❗You must have a special license for the Nodinite BPM Module to use BPMs and Domains.

How does the BPM Designer work?

The BPM Designer in Nodinite provides an intuitive, table-like interface with swimlanes:

  • Rows (Swimlanes): Represent Domains, grouping related services and responsibilities horizontally
  • Columns: Represent steps or milestones in the business process
  • Cells: Add one or more Services to each cell, tie them to Resources for monitoring, and display their current state and available remote actions—directly in the designer

You can rename services in the designer using artifact renaming, so you tailor the presentation for clarity and brevity, while maintaining unique service names in the repository.

End-to-End Logging and Monitoring

Nodinite BPM’s unique end-to-end logging empowers you to correlate events and milestones across your entire process, no matter where the systems reside. You can:

  • Track business transactions as they move from an on-premise ERP to a cloud-based CRM
  • Instantly identify when a process is delayed or failing—whether in the cloud, on-premise, or both
  • Use milestone-based logging to add business context at every step
  • Monitor the health and state of every service and resource, and take remote actions as needed

This unified approach enables large enterprises to document, follow, and govern business processes at scale.
