After modeling, designing, and implementing a business process solution, the next step in the business process application lifecycle is the deployment of the application to a runtime server.

It overlaps with playback 2 and playback 3 as well as ending with Go Live. Often at the end of later playbacks, a process will be moved to a testing Process Server or a staging Process Server from the Process Center development server for testing. After the applications are tested, they will be moved to a production Process Server and be live.
