What you get

Overview

To automate effectively, you should understand your true as-is process state. Apply process mining to identify key operational hotspots, then run process change scenarios to estimate potential impact. Finally, execute process automations quickly with robotic process automation bots and measure results for quick ROI calculation so you can:

  • Gain end-to-end process visibility to uncover process execution inefficiencies before RPA implementation
  • Identify high-value RPA opportunities from process mining insights
  • Quantify RPA bots’ impact on business outcomes, calculating actualized return on investment

Capabilities

IBM Process mining
Pinpoint hidden deviations located within organizations’ as-is processes to identify where automation can lead to the biggest process improvements.
