Process Mining & Intelligent Automation Boot Camp

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, organizations have been compelled to hasten their digital transformation plans, prompting Gartner, an industry analyst firm, to declare “hyper-automation” as a “condition of survival”. Automation has proven to be an effective means of mitigating the adverse effects of inflation, economic downturns, and talent shortages by freeing up capacity, reducing expenses, reallocating resources towards more meaningful work, and delivering customers a more uniform experience.

Before automating, however, it is necessary to gain actionable insight into the most promising candidates for automation through analysis of operational processes. Process mining is a family of techniques for doing just that. Using event data to illuminate what people, machines and organizations are really doing, process mining enables the identification – and quantification – of the best opportunities for automation.

This hands-on Boot Camp explored the fundamentals of process mining and robotic process automation – and how they can be used to understand, improve, and automate repetitive business processes. Participants looked at common use cases for automation, as well as have an opportunity to work with popular software tools and a variety of datasets.

Following three, full-day in-person classroom sessions, attendees had the opportunity to further their learning by participating in two virtual collaborative sessions with classmates, facilitated by UWEBC Information Technology Practice Director Heidi Rozmiarek, to share and discuss experiences around applying the approaches and methods learned in the Boot Camp.

UWEBC membership was not required to participate in this Boot Camp.
