The software is user-friendly, flexible, and can be used with various data sources. It provides various reports and charts that help organizations to identify areas for improvement and optimize their processes. ABBYY Timeline is a great choice for business process analysts, process owners, and IT professionals who are looking for a tool to help them analyze and optimize their processes. The process flow/diagram is the most valuable feature, as it offers a helpful visual simulation that allows users to see what's happening in the grand scheme of things and then drill down into specific tasks and processes to see where the bottlenecks are. For those companies that look for the low-hanging fruit in terms of process automation and operational excellence, this is the tool you need to succeed.
ABBYY Timeline is a cloud-based, AI-driven process mining tool. Using the latest artificial intelligence (AI) technology, ABBYY Timeline automatically builds an interactive digital twin of your business processes, analyzes them in real time to identify bottlenecks, and predicts future outcomes to facilitate better decision-making.
Why use process mining & task mining?
✔ End-to-end process visualization: Visualize the flow of your work through 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 and reason against it. Receive alerts when rules set in place are broken and follow up immediately to ensure that it won’t happen again.
✔ 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 the performance of your existing RPA processes.
✔ Accurate, un-biased 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 irrefutable source of truth.
How Timeline 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) to quickly identify opportunities for improvement, monitor ongoing performance in real-time, and predict future outcomes.
IBM Process Mining enables organizations to identify the business processes that may benefit most from automation by using business system data to create and visualize an end-to-end process to uncover derivations, bottlenecks and inefficiencies that are hidden in business processes.
IBM Process Mining provides users an objective view to analyze business processes, identify areas to focus automation initiatives and create what-if scenarios on prioritizing automation projects.
As a foundational capability of IBM Cloud Paks for Automation, IBM Process Mining finds the best process candidates for automation, calculates expected ROI, and shows the impact of automation initiatives on the entire process before implementation.
We monitor all Process Mining reviews to prevent fraudulent reviews and keep review quality high. We do not post
reviews by company employees or direct competitors. We validate each review for authenticity via cross-reference
with LinkedIn, and personal follow-up with the reviewer when necessary.
