Process mining is well established for very standardized processes and ERP systems. However, many customers are unaware of the possibilities for process mining to boost process performance for more specific, business-differentiating processes. In the area of energy or financial services, IT systems and processes are very individual and heterogeneous. For example, there are processes such as meter-to-cash in the energy sector or claimsoft processing in companies with a high investment and asset focus that typically span a diverse set of systems ranging from large ERP to homegrown. So in many companies across all industries today, business transformation programs based on SAP S/4HANA or finance and banking platforms are looking to harmonize processes and data across a global range of businesses and systems. Finally, many organizations are rapidly ramping up automation capabilities using powerful technologies like RPA, but often struggle to find the most valuable opportunities. Find out in this session how process mining can be used to add value to your business in these ways - and take your process optimization beyond the standards.
