Process and Task Mining Provide a Data-Driven Approach to Process Optimization

They help enable companies to uncover inefficiencies, reduce costs, and gain a competitive advantage in today's digital world

Process mining and task mining can be critical technologies for businesses today.  They can complement Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and enable organizations to take a data-driven approach to process optimization.  By capturing the current state of any process from start to finish, Process Mining can create detailed process maps and flows that help business analysts and process consultants identify areas for improvement.  Process Mining and Task Mining applications connect with various enterprise systems such as ERP, CRM, Finance, Accounting, Operations, HR, and other business applications to uncover deviations from processes.  Once these are uncovered, they can be corrected.  They can also often be automated using RPA bots.  Task mining monitors user activity on their individual systems to assess the efficiency of a task within a broader process.  It tracks data ranging from keystrokes to mouse clicks.  Task mining gathers user input across various applications required to complete any given task.  Task mining uses advanced technologies such as Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to interpret and analyze data for business analysts and process consultants to further study.

Midsized Companies Can Find it Challenging to Launch Process Mining Initiatives

Many mid-sized companies face challenges when it comes to implementing process mining and task mining.  One of the most significant challenges is the lack of skilled resources and the latest technology.  Both can be expensive.  Mid-sized companies often have limited budgets and may not have the financial resources to invest in the latest process and task mining technologies or hire expensive dedicated data analysts.  Frequently mid-sized companies may have information and processes spread across multiple systems and applications.  This can make it difficult to launch optimization efforts and process and task mining effectively.  Process mining and task mining projects require astute process optimization consulting combined with the ability to make digital transformation insights.  Not every company or third-party consultancy is up to this task.  Addressing these challenges requires a strategic approach that considers the unique needs and constraints of mid-sized companies. Partnering with a trusted third-party provider with expertise in process and task mining, as well as process optimization and digital transformation consulting can be an effective solution.  At Valenta, we tick all these boxes.  Process and task mining makes a huge difference for our clients, and we are pleased to offer this service.

There is a sign off at each step to ensure no sub process or task is missed during the development phase and should there be any changes as per business requirements, the process is documented before redesign and development.

Some Key Benefits of Process and Task Mining

  • Automatically discover your Business Process – Process and Task mining use digital footprints left behind in your systems and applications to show you everything that happens in your processes.
  • Understand where Automation will derive the Most value – Let process and task mining help you seek our process pain points and bottlenecks; and what they’re costing you.
  • Automate and Improve Holistically – Reduce complexity; streamline and automate complex, end-to-end business processes.
  • Continuously Monitor your Processes – Use KPIs to measure the impact automation has on end-to-end processes. Know what’s working and what’s not – and how to keep optimizing.
  • Transform your ideas into Actions – Remove redundant activities to increase efficiency, improve tasks end to end. Automate tasks based on ROI and Transformation objectives.

Valenta has Flexible Options for Process and Task Mining Implementation

Our approach
Valenta believes in designing, modernizing, and building mission Critical technology systems which most clients depend on every day. We are a focused, independent company, implementing Valenta’s Business-Unit Prototype, we make sure that strategic requirements are covered, and that the solution is built from end-to-end from a chosen business function.

Here are the three simple steps we take for Automation implementations.  

Proof-of-concept

Proof of Concept

Introduction: The Proof of Concept satisfies critical business as it validates the solution.

POC Goal: To help companies validate the opportunity hypothesis and get the green light for developing a full-fledged solution.

Key Benefit: Do not have to commit to Go Live if the solution does not work

Importance: POC allows a Business to test out the Solution on it’s own applications and processes therefore giving stakeholders the power to test the solution before having to purchase it.
