Much like RPA requires low-code to truly drive wide-spread impact, process mining requires workflow. Insights in the absence of action are worthless. There is natural synergy between process mining, and process modeling and automation, which when leveraged together provide amazing results. 

We are delivering on the promise of complete automation. This is essential for realizing automation’s ultimate goals of maximizing operational efficiency, and minimizing the time between customer interaction and desired outcome. 

Process mining uses data science and machine learning to discover processes from operational system log files. Process mining replaces subjective and costly interviews with a data-led and fact-based approach to documenting how work actually happens. In other words, process mining is about knowing your processes. 

Workflow is about streamlining and automating your processes. Appian unifies people, technologies, and data in the same workflow to automate virtually any enterprise process. We then provide the deep analytics to monitor and optimize performance across your people, your bots, and your AI systems.

By bringing process mining and workflow together in a unified low-code suite, we are creating a virtuous circle for fast and continuous improvement. We will take you from knowing to doing faster than anyone else.

Process mining is a key capability in the suite of tools you need to transform your business through hyperautomation. It delivers insights that will help you identify the operational bottlenecks and compliance issues that are slowing you down today. To learn more, visit What is Process Mining?
