The goal of the business is to increase the efficiency and reduces the costs keeping the employees high motivated, satisfied, which results in satisfied customers and setting up of long-term business relations
The paper considers the fundamentals of the digitalization, digital transformation, business process management, digital process automation, how it reforms the business processes and focuses on the benefits for the business using the digital process automation and digital workflow automation.
A modern cloud based digital solution for automating workflows is presented.
The social and cultural impacts on the organizations that adopt digital process automation is emphasized.
The paper shows that the workflow automation allows the people to focus on the important work as a key step in becoming a fully digital workplace. This will give the business a competitive advantage in today’s marketplace.
Keywords: Cloud technology, Digitization, Business Process Management, Digital Process Automation, Workflows Automation.

Books by Peter Ganev
The fast development of high technologies brings new technical facilities almost every day which on the one hand invoke new business ideas and on the other hand the new information and communication technologies break the time and distance barriers. The result is that the competition on the market in all business areas has gone to a very high level and has moved to a big extent to the virtual space and electronic media.
That is why it is very often common practice and even normal a company to feel that it needs big changes, but not to know what changes exactly or to feel that it needs a new IT tool/product but not to be in the position to determine exactly what product with what features they need. The environment is so dynamic that when a company orders some IT product to facilitate a particular own service or new product line, while this IT product is under development, a competition appears on the market with some new product or the IT technology to deliver a new generation of IT tools and in the end the IT product ordered from the company becomes obsolete before being developed and the development either has to stop or to be changed dramatically.
People’s habits, the actual target of all business as users and clients on the one side and developers of the new IT products on the other side have also changed, because of the same reason- the way new information and communication technologies changed life and particularly the social ambiance. They simply do not like the old way of buying goods and developing IT products.
Logically new methods/ approaches for development of IT products were born to meet the challenges of the contemporary situation like the Agile framework – a philosophy that covers several methods and replaces the classical methods like Waterfall.
Practice showed that unfortunately the Agile is not the perfect way that solves all problems and that is perfect suit for all cases.
Then the question “Waterfall or Agile – when and how?” is often asked.
This book tries to give an answer to this question on the basis of the best practice shared in the forums, literature and my personal experience gathered as senior developer, project manager and team leader of more than 35 IT projects mainly in Switzerland, but also in the U.K., Zimbabwe and Bulgaria resulting in a proposal of the method Adaptive Multi level Method Anywhere (AMMA) that can cover the gap when there is no clear decision which development philosophy to be chosen - Waterfall or Agile, when the customer is reluctant to accept scope, time budget deviation on the one hand , but has no clear requirements on the other hand and the team has no full knowledge about the development technology needed.
The book can serve the students in software engineering as a manual of software engineering models, analysis and design, software development approaches and management of the process of software development.
The book can be a guidance/ reference for professionals, software development team leaders, project managers, scrum masters for comparison between methods for software development and choosing the appropriate for a particular case approach.
The first six chapters of the book give a summarized background of the main elements of software engineering which is needed for the comparison of the different models/ methods of software engineering applied in the development process. The last chapter presents the main features of the different software engineering models/ methods and compares their application for particular cases.
Chapter 1 of the book is an introduction to Software Engineering (SE) and focuses on SE process models and paradigms.
Chapter 2 makes an introduction to system development and concerns topics like stages of systems development and the relationship of systems development to the project management, business analysis, systems architecture and outsourcing.
Chapter 3 discusses topics related to the system modeling principles, analysis of models and the model-based design (MBD)
Chapter 4 presents the main activities during the system analysis, some fundamental principles and elements of system analysis.
Chapter 5 concerns the objectives and constraints of the systems design, the scope and the objectives and principles of process design, the logical and physical design and the design patterns;
Chapter 6 outlines the fundamental development models, the system development life cycles, comparing linear, incremental and evolutionary approaches
Chapter 7 describes and compares the software engineering methods.
I dedicate this book to my wife Rossi (Rositza), who sacrificed everything for our family, a devoted mother and spouse and my daughter Maria, a responsible, helping and loving daughter. In this way I express my gratitude for their support during my long and difficult way around the world to gather the experience required to write this book.
I also thank my parents for the logistic support in this period of my life.
