Abstract
In this chapter we discuss a variety of digital technologies that have become relevant over the years. We start by looking at digitized business processes as they have transformed many areas of business. This topic is closely related to business process modeling and management (BPM) and with the execution of business processes, which is nowadays often done using engineered systems and appliances. After that we present cloud computing and cloud sourcing (not to be confused with crowd sourcing which we introduced in the previous chapter), which is the main enablers for big data and analytics.
