Business Process Management
In this module, participants learn to analyze, model, and optimize business processes at a professional level. Furthermore, they gain in-depth insights into their digital transformation and automation using process-oriented information systems. They can identify the requirements for implementing process-oriented information systems, describe the key characteristics, components, and functions of such systems, and place them within an overall architecture.

The Description of the module you find at the Module Handbooks:
Module Handbook Business Analytics
Module Handbook Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Connected Systems
- Introduction to business process management and case studies
- Characteristics of process-oriented information systems
- Analysis and optimization of business processes
- Tools, languages, and guidelines for process modeling (e.g., Business Process Modeling Notation 2.0)
- Modeling and verification of executable processes (i.e., workflows)
- Implementation and execution of processes using process management technology
- Selected architectural and implementation aspects of process management systems
- Concepts and technologies for supporting flexible processes
- Current trends in business process management
After successfully completing the module, students are able to analyze, model, and optimize business processes on a professional level. They can apply the available methods, concepts, and software tools. Furthermore, they can explain how business processes can be supported by information systems and are able to identify the requirements for implementing such process-oriented information systems.
Participants can also describe the essential characteristics, components, and functions of process-oriented information systems and place them within an overall architecture. In addition, they are capable of describing and applying various paradigms for modeling and developing process-oriented information systems, as well as evaluating their advantages and disadvantages.
Finally, participants are equipped to implement selected process scenarios using a process management system.
The study program combines self-study and group work in a flexible online learning environment. Students have access to video lectures, a detailed and user-friendly script tailored for working professionals, as well as interactive quizzes and exercises. Regular tutorial sessions and online office hours with mentors support the learning process, while discussion forums facilitate exchange among students. For more detailed information, please refer to the module handbook.
Basic knowledge of databases, as taught in the module “Fundamentals of database systems”.
Regular participation in online seminars will help you solving exercises, which have to be loaded up to the learning management system after request of the mentor. Passing the exercises successfully is recommended for participation in the final examination at Ulm University.
After finishing your exame successfully you will get a certificate and a supplement, which will list the contents of the module and the competencies you have acquired. In the supplement the responsible person for the module confirms you the equivalent of 6 credit points (ECTS).
