ABBYY Timeline
A cloud-based, AI-driven process mining platform.
Improve your processes with real-time insight from your own systems.
What is process mining?
Business process mining is an approach to process improvement that’s driven by advanced data analytics. Process mining software uses process event log data to discover and map process operations and their possible variations. These analytics help decision-makers uncover the root causes of any efficiencies in their business processes to reveal opportunities for improvement.
ABBYY Timeline features advanced process mining and task mining technology using the latest artificial intelligence (AI). It enables businesses to automatically build an interactive digital twin of their processes, analyze them in real time to identify bottlenecks, and predict future outcomes to facilitate decision-making of technology investments.

Why use process mining & task mining?
End-to-end process visualization
Visualize the flow of your work through the process stages and see the delays, bottlenecks, and outliers. Gain insight into your “as-is” customer processes to understand challenges.
Compliance risk management
Simplify compliance by using audit trails to build a model of your process and reason against it. Receive alerts when rules set in place are broken and follow up immediately to ensure that it won’t happen again.
Greater ROI from automation
Drive down the cost of process evaluation and make it easy to identify high-value improvement opportunities. Discover the most valuable opportunities to implement RPA or automatically monitor the performance of your existing RPA processes.
Accurate, unbiased data
Before, process mining relied on subject matter experts. Now, process mining software gives decision-makers facts and figures from real-time event log data to back up their decisions by serving as an irrefutable source of truth.
How Timeline process mining works
In four steps, discover and visualize process execution details automatically by leveraging artificial intelligence to examine desktop user interaction (known as task mining) or by analyzing your existing data (known as process mining) to quickly identify opportunities for improvement, monitor ongoing performance in real-time, and predict future outcomes.
Process discovering & mapping
Leverage ABBYY task mining capabilities and process mining technology to analyze desktop user interaction data and seamlessly link it with process details mined from system event data. The software then visually models these timestamps in such a way that you can instantly identify variations from the ideal process flow to find the root cause of a problem that may be impacting efficiency or customer experience.
Process analysis & optimization
Develop an understanding of process performance based on the actual data. Consider every step completed by every person and every machine involved in a process. ABBYY Timeline makes sense of all that data, with the ability to automatically organize and visually display your entire processes end to end. With this insight, it becomes easy to identify areas for process improvement—sometimes in places you weren’t even looking.
Process monitoring and alerting
Identify inefficient variations and set rules for the process. Alert the right staff or automate remediation to ensure processes are functioning properly and eliminate bad processes before they happen with ongoing monitoring of protocols.
Process prediction & forecasting
Predict the future process state. Combine process mining with machine learning and artificial intelligence to achieve highly integrated and fully automated insights to forecast processes in their future state, and take action to ensure positive outcomes.
