Two terms play a key role here: process mining and process automation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is process mining?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Process mining is an innovative method that enables companies to visualize and analyse their business processes in real time. Instead of being based on assumptions, actual process data is extracted from the IT systems and visualized. With the help of specialized algorithms, weak points, bottlenecks and inefficient processes are made visible.<\/p><div id=\"great-1460757808\" class=\"great-fullsize-content-en\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6yfv7eho3Gc\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Fullsize\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150.jpg\" alt=\"Fullsize\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-400x50.jpg 400w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-768x96.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-100x13.jpg 100w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-480x60.jpg 480w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-640x80.jpg 640w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-720x90.jpg 720w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-960x120.jpg 960w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-1168x146.jpg 1168w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-18x2.jpg 18w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-600x75.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" width=\"1200\" height=\"150\"  style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The analysis covers all departments and makes it possible to uncover correlations between individual process steps. In this way, companies not only gain a comprehensive overview of their internal processes, but also the basis for targeted improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Process automation as a logical consequence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once processes are more transparent and better understood thanks to process mining, the next logical step is process automation. This involves automating repetitive and rule-based tasks in order to increase efficiency and free up human resources for more demanding tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Process automation makes use of various technologies, including robotic process automation (RPA) and intelligent automation. RPA automates manual, repetitive tasks using software robots. In addition, AI technologies can be used to support decision-making. Linking process mining and process automation closes the loop: identified weaknesses are not only uncovered but also immediately rectified until the new target process is implemented and the optimization process starts all over again.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why should companies jump on this bandwagon?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The implementation of process mining and process automation is not just a technological trend, but a strategic necessity. Here are some compelling reasons why companies should actively use these tools:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Increased efficiency:<\/strong> By identifying and automating inefficient processes, resources are used more effectively, leading to a noticeable increase in efficiency.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cost reduction:<\/strong> Automation minimizes manual workloads and thus not only reduces the number of working hours required, but also potential sources of error. This leads to considerable cost savings. Valuable resources are freed up from monotonous tasks so that they can be used for more value-adding activities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Agility and adaptability:<\/strong> Companies that can react flexibly to changes have an advantage in today's business environment. Process mining makes it possible to adapt processes quickly and adjust them to new requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Quality improvement:<\/strong> The automation of processes minimizes human error and increases the accuracy of procedures, which ultimately improves the quality of products and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Competitive advantage:<\/strong> In a digitalized world, companies that use innovative technologies such as process mining and process automation are better positioned to compete and offer their customers first-class services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion: The path to the digital future<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The combination of process mining and process automation opens up new horizons for companies in the digital transformation. It is not just an adaptation to the modern requirements of the market, but a proactive initiative to secure their own future viability. Companies that integrate these technologies will not only increase their efficiency, but also become more agile, flexible and competitive. The path to the digital future begins with the transparent analysis and optimization of one's own processes - a step that can make the decisive difference in the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">iXenso group (part of CONVOTIS)<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d74fc9c79aa&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d74fc9c79aa\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"390\" height=\"400\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/WEB_Process-Mining-Wahrnehmung-vs-Wirklichkeit-1-390x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-138813\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/WEB_Process-Mining-Wahrnehmung-vs-Wirklichkeit-1-390x400.jpg 390w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/WEB_Process-Mining-Wahrnehmung-vs-Wirklichkeit-1-768x788.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/WEB_Process-Mining-Wahrnehmung-vs-Wirklichkeit-1-100x103.jpg 100w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/WEB_Process-Mining-Wahrnehmung-vs-Wirklichkeit-1-480x493.jpg 480w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/WEB_Process-Mining-Wahrnehmung-vs-Wirklichkeit-1-640x657.jpg 640w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/WEB_Process-Mining-Wahrnehmung-vs-Wirklichkeit-1-720x739.jpg 720w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/WEB_Process-Mining-Wahrnehmung-vs-Wirklichkeit-1-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/WEB_Process-Mining-Wahrnehmung-vs-Wirklichkeit-1-600x616.jpg 600w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/WEB_Process-Mining-Wahrnehmung-vs-Wirklichkeit-1-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/WEB_Process-Mining-Wahrnehmung-vs-Wirklichkeit-1-48x48.jpg 48w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/WEB_Process-Mining-Wahrnehmung-vs-Wirklichkeit-1.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 390px) 100vw, 390px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The iXenso group, based in Freiburg, Germany, is an innovative company in the field of enterprise content management and digital transformation.
