The Client Onboarding scenario is an end-to-end demo for Cloud Pak for Business Automation (CP4BA) and selected aspects of watsonX Orchestrate (wxO).
The CP4BA part covers the following components: Automation Decision Services (ADS), Automation Document Processing (ADP), Business Automation Applications (BAA), Workflow, Content, Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Business Automation Insights (BAI). The wxO part covers skill, skill flow, and automation building.
Labs for each capability provide an easy way to gain familiarity with the development aspects to build the respective parts of the Client Onboarding solution.
The Jam-in-a-Box environments provide the ability to demo the out-of-box end-to-end Client Onboarding solution and more, run your own mini-Tech Jam, or get self-educated on Business Automation and watsonX Orchestrate as part of Digital Labor.
Jam-in-a-Box removes hurdles to Business Automation and Digital Labor adoption through easing availability and sharing of technical enablement. Towards this it offers a set of self-provisionable environments hosted on IBM TechZone, combined with a set of hands-on technical labs spanning all capabilities of Business Automation and watsonX Orchestrate (for watsonX Orchestrate a separate wxO SaaS instance is required).
- Self-enablement - use the environments to gain hands-on experience on one or all capabilities of Business Automation and Digital Labor using a realistic business scenario
- Client-enablement - use the environments to host a mini-Tech Jam for your clients
- Demo - use the out-of-box Client Onboarding solution and more to present a live demo of Business Automation and Digital Labor capabilities
- PoX - use the environments as a base to customize/extend the business scenario based on your client’s needs
Most labs are accessible using a single Jam-in-a-Box environment. For some labs, you will need a separate environment. The table below provides the respective details:
| Lab(s) | Environment (IBM TechZone - Business Partners and IBMers only) |
|---|---|
| IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation (End-to-End) - IBM Business Automation Application - IBM Automation Decision Services - IBM Automation Document Processing - IBM Business Automation Insights - IBM Business Automation Workflow - IBM FileNet Content Manager (CPE, GraphQL & Navigator) |
See section Environment Selection for Core Labs below |
| IBM watsonx Orchestrate | Pre-deployed Client Onboarding from TechZone based on Apollo Business Automation CP4BA Demo Remarks: - Access to a watsonx Orchestrate SaaS instance is required as an additional prerequisite. Please check the watsonx Orchestrate content on Seismic to learn how to get access to such an instance. - The Jam-in-a-Box environment above can currently only be accessed from the bastion host of the environment. Therefore, it does not support the watsonX Orchestrate lab yet. |
| IBM Process Mining | One environment required per user in case of mini-Tech Jams! Please reserve a TechZone Process Mining Environment here. Make sure to select the IBM Process Mining 1.14.3 with Task Mining and ETL - US East only. |
| IBM Robotic Process Automation | One environment required per user in case of mini-Tech Jams! Follow the instructions provided on the respective lab overview page |
| IBM CP4BA - Bring-up (Deployment of CP4BA) | One environment required per user in case of mini-Tech Jams! Follow the instructions provided on the respective lab overview page |
Note
The options mentioned for the first two rows are focused on TechZone environments with pre-deployed Client Onboarding assets. If you have your own CP4BA environment (from TechZone or not), into which you want to deploy the Client Onboarding assets yourself, please refer to this document for details.
