KPMG Powered Enterprise Process Mining

In today’s fast-evolving, hypercompetitive global environment, understanding how business processes are actually being executed is a critical challenge for organizations.

Process professionals design processes with the expectation that their execution and use will be faithful to the design. Unfortunately, designs tend to be incomplete or difficult to execute in practice, and users can often overlook or bypass the processes that are in place.

Gaining accurate, timely insights into business processes is becoming even more challenging – and complex – as organizations pursue digital transformation, modern business models, customer-centric services and artificial intelligence capabilities.

As the pace of change accelerates in today’s digital economy, more businesses are discovering the power of process mining to visualize, analyze and evolve their processes in unprecedented ways. Process mining uses data to open a new window on your processes, positioning business leaders to quickly make informed decisions that can enhance efficiency, agility and competitiveness.  

Questions to ask when considering the advantages of process mining

• Are errors or deviations affecting workflow, customer service or operational inefficiency?
• Where are the bottlenecks in today’s business processes?  
• Can your business trust its data quality and system integrity?
• Are employees following standard operating procedures?
• What activities can be automated to enhance efficiency?
• Where are the key sources of risk – and are appropriate controls in place?
