Abstract

According to one embodiment, a system for digital process management comprises at least one memory and processor communicatively coupled to one another. The memory is operable to store input data, output data, and a process model, each associated with a digital process management system. The processor is operable to determine the process model, which comprises a set of rules, determine the input data based upon data received from a data source, and determine whether to initiate the process model based upon the input data. The system is further operable to execute the process model across two of an Internet-connected device, a gateway, and an enterprise by determining a state of a process, determining an activity based upon the state and the set of rules, executing the activity, determining results data, and determining the output data based upon the results data. The system is further operable to communicate the output data.
