SPARK Matrix™: Task Mining, Q3 2024

Task Mining is a process of analyzing and capturing granular, real-time data related to human-computer interactions and business processes within an organization. It provides a holistic picture of work processes by capturing user activity across applications and systems. Task mining involves capturing user interactions to analyze user behavior, application usage patterns, and business processes. This includes documenting activities on the computer screen, such as clicks and keystrokes, along with the system’s responses. The collected data is converted into a user log and analyzed to comprehend user engagement with the application, revealing opportunities for process enhancement. Task mining utilizes NLP, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), and Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to gather and comprehend the actions employees perform on their desktops and identify the patterns. Task mining caters to task discovery and analysis, the creation of process description documents, RPA deployment, digital workplace strategy, employee engagement, workforce optimization, and governance and compliance.
