I've been dying for any comprehensive articles , tutorial or blogs on using and implementing automation solutions using IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation (CP4BA) for a long time since it's a part of my daily job as an automation specialist focusing on the capabilities of IBM CP4BA and how to utilise the platform and this book came to the rescue , from a well arranged introductory chapters explaining the different capabilities inside CP4BA to the suitable and most common use cases for each capability to the next chapters which provided deep explanation for each capability along with a business use case which each capability can solve and to add to the mix , the authors wrote a practical implementation tutorials on how to implement each solution with a picture to picture walkthrough inside CP4BA so you can easily map the business problems each CP4BA can solve and you can try it yourself on the platform ending with the last chapters on the architecture of CP4BA and best practices to follow which was super helpful to me in my daily job when it comes to designing solutions on top of CP4BA , it would highly recommend the book to anyone looking to enrich his experience or start from scratch on the IBM CP4BA platform and i hope that this book is a starting point for a series of books to follow on the IBM CP4BA platform with maybe more details on each product inside the platform as we would love to dig deeper into each product of the platform since there is just enough room to go at each one on one book but overall I enjoyed reading the book and looking forward to more books on the same topic.

IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation is expansive set of software components used by large enterprises to automate their day to day operations. Each component can do a lot, so describing how to use the whole Cloud Pak effectively is a significant challenge - but one that this book meets.The book begins with a simple but well described scenario showing how the pieces fit together and then drills into each of the core technologies. A series of brisk but thorough overviews of each technology cover key UIs and architectural patterns. These overview chapters include some good tips on approach – unusual for a technical book – that help put things in context and provide some best practices. The book strikes a nice balance between different styles of development - process modeling and process mining are contrasted along with a description of how to use both in conjunction with task mining for instance. Where necessary, as in the content management and document processing chapter, some history is shared to show readers how we got to where we are and put newer capabilities into context.The use case and best practices chapters drill into 8 topics in more detail. Each has a reasonably detailed walkthrough of configuring and programming the example, with some embedded best practices and observations to help you learn the software. While not every feature is described, and some descriptions are quite cursory, the chapters give a good sense of how functionality could be developed and delivered. Source code for the examples is also available so you can work on them and extend them yourself.The book concludes with some good notes of the various installation and operation options and topologies.Despite having multiple authors with their own focus areas, the book is well-leveled with a similar level of detail on each piece. There's no way even a relatively long book like this one could cover all the functionality in the Cloud Pak but the team does a great job or outlining the core functionality, showing you how to develop modern systems using this functionality and providing a nice set of best practices. Highly recommended.Disclosure: I know and have worked with one of the authors

This is a comprehensive guide for those that want to build applications with IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation (CP4BA) that outlines: - Business use cases - The technical solution development environment - Detailed examples with best practices - Deployment considerationsI would recommend it to developers that want to start developing on this platform or for developers that already built applications on CP4BA and are looking for a comprehensive guide they can consult.I was provided a free copy to evaluate this book.

This is a good practical guide to automating enterprise business processes and decisions using the latest incarnations of IBM intelligent automation tools. It leverages a low code/no code approach to jump-start the digital transformation to make businesses more agile, more competitive, and more adaptable to changes.Being specifically interested in Decision Intelligence, I searched for the word “Decision” and found about 500 occurrences going through all chapters devoted to workflow and process automation, decision modeling, document and content management, and such technical topics as versioning, high availability, continuous deployment and integration. So, one may say this book is about Decision Automation.Chapter 8 “Automating Decisions to Speed Up Your Processes” concentrates on how decision management can be used to automate your business rules and how you can embed those rules within your applications. It details the decision modeling approach using IBM ODM and Decision Manager allowing users to automate decision-making to speed up and add intelligence to your automation. It describes how subject matter experts can build and deploy decision models that will run millions of times per day with responses in milliseconds. It is especially interesting to learn how these tools combine deterministic rules together with predictive rules using AI/ML.This book will be helpful for many practitioners who are building intelligent business processes and operational decision services whether they use IBM or other decision intelligence tools.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most.
