It’s companies that embrace digital transformation and use data insights to drive business outcomes who will lead the pack. Think of companies like Amazon, Netflix or Uber. Their business success fundamentally relies on how they’re executing processes — and how they leverage data.
A new generation of insights-driven companies
In the last few years, we’ve seen a new generation of insight-driven companies emerging. Seeking to achieve greater transparency into their operations, they started looking into a promising new software category: Process Mining.
Today, companies from diverse industries like Vodafone, Siemens, Lufthansa, Uber, and many others use Process Mining to help steer and accelerate their operations to drive better business outcomes.
The recently published 2020 PEAK Matrix Report on Process Mining from Everest Group is the latest evidence that Process Mining has closed the gap from emerging tech to well-established BizOps Software. The industry analyst annually assesses the market positioning of global service providers, locations, products, and solutions within various market segments.
There are mainly two big takeaways from the State of the Market report.
1. Process Mining is a key enabler to achieve process excellence and automation in organizations’ digital transformation journeys.
2. Celonis is a market leader in the Process Mining field. Let's dive deeper into those two.

The Everest Group report recognizes Process Mining as an “integral part of a strong digital ecosystem that is necessary to successfully implement a digital transformation initiative.” Everest Group’s prediction falls in line with forecasts by other Process Mining experts and analysts. Wil van der Aalst, one of the world’s most cited computer scientists (with more than 92,000 according to Google Scholar) and the founding father of Process Mining, expects the technology to “become a standard tool for analyzing and improving processes.” In its Market Guide for Process Mining, published in June 2019, Analyst and research firm, Gartner, expected the market to triple or quadruple within the next two years.
While leading research and analysis firms such as Gartner, Forrester, Nelson Hall, and HFS have long recognized the strength of Process Mining and have shown the technology’s rapid growth — this is the first-ever quadrant analysis that ranks the market’s competitors and provides an in-depth analysis of capabilities needed for a process mining solution.
What you should know about Process Mining, according to Everest Group:
- Process Mining is a requirement to achieve Process Excellence, intelligent automation, and digital transformation.
- Process automation is evolving in more than one direction and it’s driving the need for enterprises to review and optimize processes and gain insights before automating them.
- Adopting Process Mining solutions can help enterprises, not only by achieving cost savings and operational efficiency by optimizing processes, but also by enhancing the employee experience through better resource allocation.
This analyst’s perspective confirms a continuing trend that we’ve seen in the IT market. In the last years, more and more organizations have baked Process Mining into their core technology needs. Today, Process Mining is a core component of the enterprise IT landscape. In retail, Process Mining helps companies effectively manage their inventories and purchasing in core processes like Order-To-Cash, Procure-To-Pay, material, stock and delivery processes, or quality management.
In Finance, companies use Process Mining to identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities, while also uncovering risks and optimizing fraud management. In Telco, the technology comes to use in Client acquisition, sales and billing management, and service procurement. Those are just some of the industries where Process Mining has seen widespread adoption. Companies in Healthcare, Manufacturing or Logistics (to name a few) are exploring and implementing the technology at a rapid pace, too.
