The Market Guide 2021 by Gartner reveals that recent trends in process mining use cases have seen a decrease over the last 2 years in business process improvement initiatives (for improvement sake), with a shift towards optimising processes in preparation for digital transformation. Process automation continues to grow at a steady pace, while there’s a slight reduction in auditing & compliance focused initiatives.
Let’s explore some of the most prominent uses cases expected in 2022 in more detail:
Internal Audit
Process mining with Celonis provides non-biased holistic scrutiny of a company’s processes, to detect exceptions and violations to minimise business risk, and help make processes more robust and streamlined to help speed up approval timelines. It can take the drudgery out of data gathering, whilst providing a host of important benefits, such as:
Digital Transformation
Putting the case forward for digital transformation amid the upfront expense and disruption is challenging at the best of times. But today, Economic, political and market turbulence, supply chain crises and inflation are pressing businesses to look internally at ways to mitigate the threats from these external adverse forces, to increase revenue, reduce costs, and improve efficiency. The surge of new digital technologies in recent years has opened up a world of opportunities, but as always, the question is knowing how and to what extent they should be deployed. The success of digitisation, or in other words, the business value that is realised by digital transformation, will largely depend on how efficiently business processes are executed. If you competitors are doings things faster and more accurately than you, you have a problem.

Benefits include:
Intelligent Automation
The Celonis EMS offers in-built actions and automations as well as integration with 3rdparty automation technologies like RPA, iPaaS, and iBPMS. Combined with Process & Task Mining, Machine Learning, and Simulation, this enables truly ‘intelligent’ automation. Discover automation potential, and employ it where appropriate, to realise value.

UiPath RPA and Action Flows:

By combining RPA with Action Flows in the Celonis EMS, you can:
- Leverage your existing bots and take targeted action by intelligently triggering them based on insights from the EMS.
- Automate your entire landscape by combining API-led automation and UI-led automation in one Action Flow.
Key benefits of using Process Mining, the EMS, and RPA in tandem:

- Use the Celonis EMS (Process mining, planning & simulation, visual & daily management) to identify where automation/RPA can be implemented to drive business outcomes.
- The Celonis EMS can trigger and pass process metadata from Process Mining to automation/RPA tools. This enables truly ‘intelligent’ automation, not possible with standalone automation/RPA platforms.
- The Celonis EMS offers in-built automation, however, it also integrates with 3rd-party automation technologies (RPA, iPaaS, iBPMS). This means you can choose the automation tool that is the right fit for the job.
- Process & Task Mining can be leveraged to continuously assess the effectiveness of RPA bots on the process.
