Enterprise Content Management becomes much more powerful when documents are connected to automated business processes.
A typical enterprise flow might look like:
Document → Review → Business Decision → Approval → Publish → Archive
In my latest technical guide, I explore how Alfresco and Activiti BPMN can be used to implement content-centric enterprise workflow automation.
The guide covers:
Alfresco workflow architecture
BPMN User Tasks and Service Tasks
Exclusive and Parallel Gateways
Document approval processes
Workflow Variables vs Alfresco Metadata
Task assignment and candidate groups
Timer Events and SLA escalation
Error and exception handling
REST API and enterprise integrations
Security and permissions
Audit and traceability
Reusable workflow design
Enterprise architecture best practices
A key architectural principle is to keep responsibilities separated:
Alfresco Content Services → Content
BPMN Workflow → Process Orchestration
Enterprise Services → Integration & Complex Business Logic
