            4.  Differentiate between Integration-centric BPM and Human-centric BPM.
          Ans.  Integration-centric BPM: In this type of BPM model, the focus is more on using computer-based application programming
              interfaces. It creates a smooth flow of data between the network of automated tools that integrate different departments
              of a business. With less human interaction, the repetitive tedious task can be done efficiently.
               Human-centric BPM: This type of BPM model directly impacts the employees and the clients. Its focus is more on the
              human interaction with the business processes. The main advantage of keeping the human interaction is that the task can
              be paused and resumed with different sets of people.
