Understanding Process Mining
Process mining is a technique used by businesses to extract insights from event log data, helping them identify areas for improvement. Every organization follows a set of activities, or processes, that create value for customers, and these processes can be mapped to visualize their flow. By analyzing event logs from various sources such as databases or internal systems, organizations convert raw data into process maps that inform operational decisions. This structured approach allows companies to optimize their operations and enhance competitive performance.
