Below we delve into some of the key features that make Power Automate a leading process mining platform, as noted by Gartner.
Generative AI
Microsoft’s commitment to generative AI innovation in process mining distinguishes it from other platforms, with Copilot capabilities throughout Power Automate, as well as GPT-3.5 from OpenAI which will soon be updating to GPT-4 to offer more advanced language processing and understanding. Copilot in Power Automate helps users to better understand business processes through a conversational experience. You can uncover areas for improvement in even complex business processes, with AI-generated insights and recommendations on-hand to help you work towards optimising business processes.
Advanced Analytics
Process mining in Power Automate leverages predictive analytics to forecast outcomes based on historical data, with the ability to integrate Power BI to get more detailed data visualisations and process reports that provide constant access to real-time data. These advanced analytics capabilities ensure you can identify and act on inefficiencies before they become a serious issue, fostering strategic decision making and facilitating proactive planning.
Task Mining
Gartner also highlighted the task mining feature in Power Automate Process Mining, which analyses recorded actions carried out by staff on desktops and creates a map detailing the steps they carried out while performing the task. This allows managers to easily identify errors, inefficiencies and aspects that could be automated to streamline the workflow.
