Case Study  ·  Technology Assessment

Streamlining workflows with process and task mining.

An international biopharmaceutical leader wanted to find where its user workflows were slowing down, using process and task mining tools it could put in place in the near term. We assessed the tools and providers, and showed the client how they could work together.

The Client

The client is an international biopharmaceutical leader with a growing number of data sources and streams. It wanted to learn where the bottlenecks in its user workflows were, using process and task mining technologies it could implement within the next 2 to 3 years.

The Challenge

Find the bottlenecks.
Pick the right tools.

Prescouter was asked to map innovations in process mining, task mining and digital adoption platforms, show which mix of tools would fit, and explain implementation steps and timelines.

  • Process mining

    System-level workflows

    How work moves through enterprise systems.

  • Task mining

    User-level activity

    What people actually do on their desktops.

  • Adoption

    Digital adoption platforms

    Tools that guide users and support training.

Our Approach

Vetting providers through research and expert interviews.

Provider scan
Leadersleading and emerging providers

Map the market

Secondary research found leading and emerging providers, with primary research filling the gaps.

Expert interviews
15subject matter experts

Learn what it takes

Experts covered capabilities, implementation time and sequence, data security and resources needed.

Vendor vetting
2vendors highlighted

Narrow the field

Further vetting against the client’s needs produced 2 vendors to approach.

The Outcome

Three tools that work better together.

Prescouter found that task mining, process mining and a digital adoption tool could work together to find bottlenecks, optimize workflows and support training. A combined solution could produce initial data in 3 months and reach full implementation within the year, and 2 vendors were highlighted for the client to approach.

  • Approach

    A joined-up solution

    Process mining, task mining and digital adoption working together.

  • Timeline

    Data in 3 months

    Full implementation within the year.

  • Vendors

    Two to approach

    The providers that best fit the client’s needs.

Process mining shows where work gets stuck. Task mining shows why. Using both points to fixes that actually stick.
