Process and Task Mining

Process mining is one of the latest Digital Transformation technologies that compliments Robotic Process Automation extremely well. Organizations have always known what functions they could Automate within respective departments purely based on volumes and the repetitive nature of the process however there was never any validation to the whole process, and this is exactly where Process Mining comes in.

Process Mining is an application which can capture the current state of any process from start to finish. Most processes have several sub-processes built into them however Business Analysts and Process Consultants and unable to get into great depth of the various Sub-Processes and this leads to incorrect and incomplete documentation which further leads to Process Automation Failure.

By leveraging a Data Driven approach to process optimization, process owners can focus more on resource allocation and revenue generation activities while the Process mining application connects with Enterprise Resource Planning, Customer Relationship Management, Finance and Accounting Applications and other Information systems to create detailed process maps and flows and consider any deviations from the process which uncovers further opportunities for Robotic Process Automation.

Task Mining on the other hand is an application which monitors user activity on their systems to assess the efficiency of a task within a broader process. The task mining application tracks data ranging from keystrokes to mouse clicks and the user input across the various applications to complete a given task in full. Task mining is a subset of process mining which uses technologies such as Optical Character Recognition, Natural Language processing and Machine Learning algorithms to interpret and analyze data for Business Analysts and Process Consultants to further analyze.

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.

Strategy

Work with Valenta to define your Automation Strategy. Most Companies have started using Process and Task Mining applications but struggle to derive value from these Software Robots and that’s primarily due to the lack of understanding of how the technology works and having unrealistic expectations.

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.

Benefits of Process and Task Mining :

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.

How Valenta can assist with Process and Task Mining Strategy and Implementation :

Our approach
Valenta believes in designing, modernizing, and building mission Critical technology systems which most clients depend on every day. We are 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.

Implement

Full Implementation

In this phase, new scenarios are added, and more focus is put on common understanding, consistency, and the accuracy.

Based on the learning experiences, new enhancements and features are proposed and implemented.

Work is focused on further adoption at the same time making sure that settled users are not impacted by the changes

Process

Managed Service

We provide Automation as a Service for a Fixed Monthly subscription that gives Businesses greater control on their Cashflow.

We handle the entire process from Design to Development, Triggering and Scheduling the Bot, Monitoring and Optimizing Bot Performance, and On-going Maintenance.

Valenta is agile in providing accurate reporting. We strive to enhance the consistency of the analysis, respond to changing business needs and provide solutions.

An essential part is setting up necessary protection to minimize risk and protect Automation assets.

End Results
The end results will consist of a centralized team in charge of finding and promoting interesting analysis across the entire organization.

Local teams will be empowered to create and innovate. The centralized team identifies the most successful work being done at a local level and provides a platform to share and promote this work at a corporate level.
