Hyperautomation Working Group Update: Deploying Hyperautomation Solutions for Event-Driven Architectures

Spring 2023

Hyperautomation is an emerging technology that combines multiple automation tools and technologies to create a holistic solution that can automate business processes from end-to-end. Event-driven architectures are becoming increasingly popular as a way to handle the large volume of real-time data generated by modern applications and devices. This session will explore the intersection of hyperautomation and event-driven architectures, and discuss how organizations can leverage these technologies to create more responsive and efficient systems. We will cover best practices for deploying hyperautomation solutions in an event-driven environment, and discuss the benefits and challenges of this approach. The ONUG Hyperautomation Working Group will demonstrate several examples of solutions that illustrate the power of AI/ML, event-driven architectures and no/low code deployments.

Session Outline:
-Introduction: The basics of hyperautomation and event-driven architectures
-Overview of the intersection of hyperautomation and event-driven architectures
-Best practices for deploying hyperautomation solutions in an event-driven environment
-Use cases and industries that are most likely to benefit from hyperautomation and event-driven architectures
