What is Process Intelligence?
Discover how process intelligence uses data analytics and AI to provide insights into business processes, identify bottlenecks, and optimize workflows for maximum efficiency and performance.
Process Intelligence is a powerful approach that combines data analytics, artificial intelligence, and business process management to provide deep insights into how business processes actually work. At Elatify, we leverage process intelligence as a cornerstone of our automation solutionsto help organizations achieve operational excellence.
Unlike traditional process documentation that shows how processes should work, process intelligence reveals how processes actually work in practice, identifying variations, bottlenecks, and optimization opportunities that might otherwise go unnoticed.
How Process Intelligence Works
Process intelligence operates through a systematic approach to data collection, analysis, and insight generation:
- Data Collection: Gather process data from various sources including system logs, user interactions, and business applications
- Process Discovery: Automatically discover and map actual business processes from collected data
- Performance Analysis: Analyze process performance metrics, cycle times, and resource utilization
- Insight Generation: Identify patterns, bottlenecks, and optimization opportunities
- Actionable Recommendations: Provide specific recommendations for process improvement
Key Features of Process Intelligence
