What is Case Orchestration and why your company needs it

Understand how case orchestration goes beyond workflow and BPM to solve the real problem: fragmented processes.

The problem

Most companies manage their most critical processes with a combination of emails, spreadsheets, shared folders and status meetings. Each tool solves a piece, but none connects everything.

The result? Fragmentation. No one knows what stage things are at. Documents get lost in email threads. Decisions go unrecorded. And when something goes wrong, no one can reconstruct what happened.

Workflow vs. Case Management vs. Orchestration

Workflow is sequential: A → B → C. Works for simple, predictable processes.

Case Management focuses on flexibility: each case can follow different paths. But it lacks the orchestration layer.

Case Orchestration combines the best of both: structure when needed, flexibility when the process demands it. More importantly: it connects data, documents, people, decisions and automations in a single traceable timeline.

What changes in practice

With case orchestration, each process becomes a "case" — with title, owner, current stage, attached documents, pending tasks, internal and external participants, and a complete timeline of everything that happened.

Templates define the structure. Cases are the real instances. Automations move the process. And the external portal lets clients and partners follow along without needing an account.

Who it's for

Any team that manages processes involving multiple stages, multiple participants and multiple documents. HR, legal, healthcare, education, finance, compliance — all benefit.
