Process and Task Mining

Employing Process Mining and Task Mining delivers a data-informed solution for optimising processes

They aid companies in discovering inefficiencies, lowering costs, and achieving a competitive edge in today's increasingly digital world

Process mining and task mining are vital technologies for businesses in the current environment. They serve to enhance Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and enable organizations to implement a data-driven technique for process refinement. By recording the present state of any process from its initiation to its conclusion, Process Mining develops comprehensive process maps and flows that help business analysts and process consultants find areas needing improvement. Process Mining and Task Mining applications interact with a wide array of enterprise systems, including ERP, CRM, Finance, Accounting, Operations, HR, and other business applications, to identify deviations from prescribed processes. Once these deviations are discovered, they can be rectified and often automated using RPA bots. Task mining examines user activity on their individual systems to gauge the effectiveness of a task within a more extensive process, tracking data from keystrokes to mouse clicks. Task mining amasses user input from various applications required to complete a specific task. Advanced technologies such as Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Machine Learning (ML) algorithms are used by task mining to interpret and analyze data, allowing business analysts and process consultants to study it further.

Tackling Process Mining Implementation Hurdles in Mid-sized Businesses

Mid-sized businesses frequently struggle with the implementation of process mining and task mining due to challenges such as limited skilled resources and the high cost of advanced technology. Operating with restricted budgets, mid-sized businesses may be unable to invest in state-of-the-art process and task mining technologies or hire dedicated data analysts with high salaries. Compounding these issues, mid-sized businesses often have their data and processes dispersed across various systems and applications, obstructing optimization initiatives and the effective execution of process and task mining. Success in process mining and task mining projects requires adept process optimization consulting and valuable digital transformation insights, which not all companies or external consultancies can offer. To address these challenges, a strategic approach that takes into account the unique needs and limitations of mid-sized businesses is crucial. Joining forces with a reputable third-party provider proficient in process and task mining, process optimization, and digital transformation consulting can be a potent solution. Valenta possesses all these qualifications, and we are proud to provide our clients with these highly beneficial services.

Process-and-Task-Mining

Process mining is dependent on event log data from ERP, CRM, or standalone F&A, HRMS applications whereas Task mining is focused entirely on a business user’s interaction data on their systems such as Keystrokes, Mouse Clicks, or data entries. Both process and task mining technologies complement each other very well and assist Business Analysts and Process Consultants and AI assisted recommendations.

Our Process and Task Mining Team combines various technologies to give you the very best of Digital Transformation.

To gain wide scale acceptance, the technology must work, and our Team of Developers, Solution Architects, Business Analysts, Infrastructure Engineers, and Process Heads work closely with you and your team to create an Automation Mindset and more importantly define your Automation Strategy.
