The automation of processes is the technical execution of modeled processes without manual intervention. Tasks, decisions and process steps are designed in such a way that they can be carried out by systems, applications or rule-based mechanisms. The aim is to reduce manual activities, increase process quality and complete traceability of all steps.
In practice, this means that defined processes are not only documented, but are actively executed. Systems communicate with each other, data is automatically transferred, tasks are systematically generated and rules control decisions.
Organizations in finance, energy supply, KRITIS, healthcare or mechanical engineering must not only make business processes efficient, but above all verifiable, secure and comprehensible. Regulatory requirements such as MaRisk, BAIT, ISO 27001, ISO9001 or industry-specific standards require stable and reproducible processes.
Automated processes ensure that no deviating work steps take place, that requirements are met and that a digital audit trail is created. This makes the operational implementation of compliance a continuous, system-supported process.
Aeneis provides the technical basis for automated processes by clearly structuring and completely modeling processes. This model serves as a starting point for technical implementation in the BPM | Flow workflow engine. Roles, responsibilities and process logics are defined in Aeneis and then transferred to the workflow system, which automatically controls the process.
BPM | Flow transforms the process model described in Aeneis into an executable workflow. There, tasks are assigned to the respective responsible persons, events are triggered and processes are processed step by step. Monitoring and reporting functions help to make the status and performance of automated processes transparent and to identify optimization potential.
Aeneis provides a REST API to connect other workflow engines and remains the central modeling tool. Automation is therefore always based on a consistent, versioned and clearly comprehensible process model from Aeneis, while BPM | Flow or another system takes over operational execution.

Process managers do not have to maintain the process logic twice, but only model it once because external systems use it directly.
ISMS and risk officers benefit from automated processes being consistent, comprehensible and linked to the respective governance. Decisions, responsibilities and control points that are anchored in the model can be automatically taken into account.
QM representatives see a significant reduction in manual variations because automated processes always correspond to the approved version.
Automation in Aeneis follows a clear process:
This creates a continuous automation chain without the need to model in several tools.

Process automation with Aeneis combines a clearly defined process model with reliable technical implementation. This results in obvious advantages for different roles in the company:
Process managers benefit from the fact that
ISMS, QM and risk officers work more efficiently because
Companies win overall because
In this way, Aeneis supports a process-oriented way of working that enhances quality, safety and efficiency in equal measure.
