Process Mining

Process mining software gives you an “X-ray” of your business processes, so you can see how they really run and identify inefficiencies. Using the data from your existing systems — such as ERP and CRM — process mining software helps you gain complete visibility into your processes.

Process Mining key

Why process mining matters

Process mining is the key to visualizing and analyzing your processes as they actually are. The technology extracts data from your underlying systems to give you a comprehensive, real-time visibility into how your processes run. Armed with that understanding, optimizing processes and their outcomes is easier than ever.

Process Mining Tools

With more and more companies investing in process mining tools, there are a variety of products available from different vendors. Every company’s business processes are unique. Yes, most organizations have a Finance department that runs processes like Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable, as well as Procurement or Order Management, Sales, and Customer Service. But the way those processes work, and the systems they run on, is like a corporate fingerprint — no two are exactly alike.

So, when choosing a process mining tool, it's important to understand how process mining works and to know the features you'll need for your company's one-of-a-kind processes.

Some key capabilities of process mining tools to consider:

Data connectors

Does it provide connectors for all of the underlying IT systems you use, so you can understand process data in real time?

Pre-built analyses and models

Does it provide out-of-the-box analyses, models, and benchmarks for your desired use case?

Multi-process

Can it work with multiple data models across different processes?

Ease of customization

Does it provide a drag-and-drop interface for customizing process analyses and views, or does it require complex knowledge of languages like HTML and SQL to use?

Task Mining

Does it collect not only data from transaction systems’ event logs, but also user interaction data from desktop applications through task mining?

Cloud

Is it a cloud-based process mining tool that can scale with your business and provide automatic updates?

Execution Management

Does it go beyond process visibility to provide a complete set of tools for business execution, process improvement, including automation, workflows, and simulation?

Security

Is it certified compliant with industry security standards, such as SOC 2 and GDPR?

Partner Ecosystem

Have top consultancies adopted it and do they offer implementation services?

Results

Are there proven examples of companies in your industry and desired use case achieving results and outcomes?

In short... not all process mining tools are created equal, and it's important to evaluate carefully.
