Workflow Orchestration

Definition

The automated coordination and management of multiple tasks, systems, and processes to achieve a business outcome.

Overview

Workflow orchestration involves coordinating the execution of multiple automated tasks and processes across different systems. An orchestration engine manages the sequence of activities, handles branching logic, manages errors, and ensures proper completion. Unlike simple automation, orchestration handles complex scenarios with parallel processing, conditional logic, human approvals, and integration across multiple platforms.

Why It Matters

Without orchestration, automated tasks run in isolation and cannot coordinate with each other—leading to timing conflicts, data races, and processes that stall when exceptions occur. Effective orchestration is what separates point-solution automation from true operational transformation.
