Take a data-driven approach to process improvement

 

Process and task mining technologies have become integral to achieving success with digital transformation projects. They enable organizations to assess the future impact of proposed changes, manage the transition more effectively, ensure the performance of the implemented automation steps, and provide a feedback loop for continuous improvement.

Discover the path to process excellence

 

End-to-end process visualization

Visualize the flow of your work acrossh the process stages and see the delays, bottlenecks, and outliers. Gain insight into your “as-is” customer processes to understand challenges.

Compliance risk management
Simplify compliance by using audit trails to build a model of your process, then reason against it. Receive alerts when established rules are broken and follow up immediately to prevent reoccurrence.
Greater ROI from automation
Drive down the cost of process evaluation and make it easy to identify high-value improvement opportunities. Discover the most valuable opportunities to implement RPA, or automatically monitor RPA process performance.
Accurate, unbiased data

Before, process mining relied on subject matter experts. Now, process mining software gives decision-makers facts and figures from real-time event log data to back up their decisions by serving as an indisputable source of truth.

Over 25 pre-built industry best-practice tools
Quickly build complex queries and sophisticated analyses from existing data in an easy-to-use, intuitive, user-friendly interface. With over 25 pre-built modules, process analysis has never been easier.
Quick to start, easy to scale

Connects data from many sources
Timeline provides a single location to visualize and analyze all your business processes end to end, no matter how many back-end systems are being used. Connectors and ETL in the cloud help connect Timeline tools and data to practically any system you use to run your business.
Task mining and desktop recording
Analyze desktop user interaction and seamlessly link it with process details, so you can see where repetitive and inefficient tasks are slowing your processes and allocate resources in the right places to resolve them.
Process simulation
Simulate potential changes in processes and evaluate the impact of these changes on the entire business process. With this feature in ABBYY Timeline, you can assess the effectiveness of process optimization decisions.

How process mining works

 

In four steps, discover and visualize process execution details automatically by leveraging artificial intelligence to examine desktop user interaction (known as task mining) or by analyzing your existing data (known as process mining). Quickly identify opportunities for improvement, monitor ongoing performance in real-time, and predict future outcomes.
  • Discovering and mapping
  • Analysis and optimization
  • Monitoring and alerting
  • Analysis and simulation

Process discovering and mapping

 
Leverage ABBYY task mining capabilities and process mining technology to analyze desktop user interaction data and seamlessly link it with process details mined from system event data. The software then visually models these timestamps in such a way that you can instantly identify variations from the ideal process flow to find the root causes of problems that may be impacting efficiency or customer experience.

Process analysis and optimization

 
Develop an understanding of process performance based on the actual data. Consider every step completed by every person and every machine involved in a process. ABBYY Timeline makes sense of all that data, with the ability to automatically organize and visually display your entire processes end to end. With this insight, it becomes easy to identify areas for process improvement—sometimes in places you weren’t even looking.

Realize the benefits of process excellence

ABBYY Timeline features advanced process mining and task mining technology using the latest artificial intelligence (AI). It enables businesses to automatically build an interactive “digital twin” of their processes, analyze them in real time to identify bottlenecks, and predict future outcomes to facilitate decision-making of technology investments.

From process discovery to analysis, monitoring, and simulation, explore the four steps Timeline offers to make process improvement a reality.

The 5 pillars of process intelligence

 

Use advanced task and process mining, to deliver 360-degree visibility into business operations, combining insights from people, processes, and content to reveal the path to process excellence. Extract data from any combination of your IT systems and recreate end-to-end processes as a process digital twin. Automatically visualize process flows, bottlenecks, and path variations, and make data-driven recommendations for improvement.

Process Discovery

 
Discover your “as-is” processes with process mining. Combine task-level details with intuitive point-and-click process analysis tools to provide a unified end-to-end and top-to-bottom operational understanding. Ensure that digital transformation initiatives deliver predictable results and do not cause unintended consequences.

Process Analytics

 
With a user-friendly point-and-click interface, and over 25 best-practice process analysis tools, ABBYY Timeline makes everyone a process genius. ABBYY Timeline is built for ease of use.
