The 5 pillars of process intelligence
Timeline delivers 360-degree visibility of your business operations. It extracts data from any IT system and recreates your end-to-end processes in an interactive digital twin. This enables you to automatically visualize existing process flows and spot high-value improvement opportunities. With Timeline’s monitoring capabilities, you can stay up-to-date with ongoing process performance in real time, simulate potential improvements, and predict future outcomes.
How Timeline works
ABBYY Timeline allows businesses to discover and visualize their business-wide process execution by examining their system data and analyzing desktop user interactions. These insights help you to quickly identify opportunities for improvement, monitor ongoing performance in real-time, and predict future outcomes. Timeline does this in five key steps:
Step 1: Process discovery
- Record user interactions: Non-intrusively collect session logs, without disrupting processes, and capture task variations over an extended period.
- Extract data: Event log data is extracted from any combination of enterprise and departmental software systems, without integration. This data is uploaded into Timeline.
- Map process events: Simply load the data to visualize your processes. The three criteria you need to start your process analysis are a unique identifier, a timestamp, and an event name. Using additional details will provide more specific, richer content.
Step 2: Process analysis
- Analyze “as-is” processes: We've developed more than 25 analysis tools to help you understand how your processes behave, and why.
- Investigate problems: Use our extensive filtering functionalities to drill into issues and evaluate process performance.
- Optimize your processes: We believe measurement leads to improvement. Timeline will quantify process performance and make it easy to target high-value improvements.

Step 3: Process monitoring
- Monitor real-time execution: Timeline can monitor process execution in near real-time to give you continuous performance insight and prevent process deviations.
- Set process alerts: You can set and customize alerts for process execution, whether it’s performing as planned or not. If the process timeline meets your defined conditions, the platform can trigger an email to users, calls to other BPM processes, or new RPA bots.

Step 4: Process prediction
- Predict events: Get accurate predictions for your process outcomes, and make your processes more efficient, using machine learning technology to save time, money, and labor.
- Prescribe solutions: Leverage Timeline's prescriptive analytics to spot and address process flow deviations, enabling real-time problem-solving.

Step 5: Process simulation
- Simulate changes: With our process simulation tool, Timeline enables you to simulate potential changes in a process and evaluate their impact on your entire business, before implementation.
- Mitigate business risks: Support your implementation teams by testing process improvements before you make improvements. You’ll reduce lengthy trial-and-error cycles and mitigate the risk of costly revisions.

Process mining—frequently asked questions
How does process mining work?
Process mining is a data-driven technique used to understand, track, and improve processes. It works by collecting and reading event logs from various information systems, including legacy systems, packaged applications, databases, data warehouses, and data marts. The software then visually models these logs as a digital twin of your business processes, so you can analyze them in real-time to identify bottlenecks and predict future outcomes.
How does ABBYY Timeline work?
ABBYY Timeline is the only process mining software that combines in-depth process analysis, predictive classification, and search capabilities with granular monitoring and alerts.

Does Timeline offer task mining?
Yes! Our task mining technology analyzes desktop user interaction data and effortlessly connects it with process details extracted from system event logs. This will help you boost operational efficiency, expedite digital transformation efforts, and enhance your customer experience.
What is the difference between process mining and task mining?
Process mining analyzes event logs from information systems to visualize and optimize end-to-end business processes. On the other hand, task mining is a distinct type of process mining, allowing you to capture how users interact with systems at a task level, so you can identify inefficiencies at each stage of a process. In summary, process mining offers an in-depth view of processes, while task mining provides detailed insights into individual user activities.
