Business Process Orchestration
Orchestration focuses on coordinating multiple components so an end-to-end outcome occurs in the right order with visible state.
Practical note: process design depends on organization, data, controls, laws, contracts and technology. Treat examples and calculators as educational planning aids, then validate changes against your own requirements.
Long-running processes
Business processes may pause for hours or days while waiting for approval, documents, payment or an external event. Orchestration preserves state across those waits.
Systems remain specialized
An orchestrator does not replace ERP, CRM or other systems of record; it coordinates when and how they participate.
Failure handling
Retries, compensation, escalation and manual intervention paths are part of robust orchestration.
