Power Automate Process Mining
Dig the truth about your processes
out of your M365 logs.
Power Automate Process Mining is Microsoft’s process mining capability. Integrated across Power Platform, it reveals how processes really run from system logs and uncovers bottlenecks and inefficiencies, with results feeding straight into Power Automate flow development. It is easy to start if you already use Microsoft 365 and Power Platform, letting you begin process mining at low cost.
What you can do with Power Automate Process Mining
-
Automatic process maps
Generates actual workflows automatically from system logs, using all the data to reveal complex paths the human eye can’t follow.
-
Straight into Power Automate Desktop flows
Automation candidates you find can be built directly as Power Automate Desktop flows, linking analysis and automation.
-
Conformance checking
Automatically detects how far actual work strays from the designed process, catching compliance violations and skipped steps in real time.
-
Bottlenecks and waiting time made visible
Heat maps show processing time, waiting time and frequency, pinpointing the causes of delays so improvement priorities can be set with numbers.
-
Dashboards with Power BI
Process mining results are visualized in Power BI for management reports and ongoing KPI monitoring.
-
Integrated across M365 and Power Platform
Go from analysis to action on the same platform as Power Automate, Power Apps and Power BI.
Issues
Even with Power Platform in place, do these challenges remain?
You want to automate with Power Automate, but don’t know where to start
Candidates depend on what teams report, so you can’t objectively identify the processes with the best return.
How processes run across systems is known only from staff experience
Where work stalls and where it deviates is still guesswork based on interviews.
You have M365 and Power Platform, but thought process mining needed a separate tool
Not knowing you could start with your existing licenses and environment, you have kept putting process mining off.
Power Automate Process Mining
solves all of these at once.
Benefits
Start process mining from your M365 environment, with ITSO.
Certified Microsoft partner
As a certified Microsoft partner, ITSO officially supports Process Mining and Power Automate from implementation to operation.
Low-cost start using your M365 environment
If you already use Microsoft 365 and Power Platform, you can get started quickly with little extra cost.
End-to-end support through to Power Automate flows
We identify high-priority processes from the analysis and take them straight into automation with Power Automate.
An analysis foundation with Power BI
We turn process mining results into dashboards and build an ongoing cycle of process improvement.
Making the most of your Power Platform investment
We propose a plan that makes full use of the licenses and environment you already have, keeping extra investment down.
Ongoing maintenance and analysis
We provide ongoing remote support, from maintaining data connections to creating analysis reports and carrying out automation.
Flow
Three steps to go-live, in as little as two months.
-
1
Consultation and requirements
2–4 weeksWe organize the processes and systems to analyze, and check data connection requirements and how you use Power Platform today.
-
2
Data connection and process maps
2–4 weeksWe connect log data from the target systems and map how processes actually run.
-
3
Analysis and automation proposals
2–3 weeksWe analyze bottlenecks and deviations and propose improvements, including candidates for automation with Power Automate.
Scene
Power Automate Process Mining is at work across a wide range of industries and tasks.
-
Finance
Mapping invoice processing to find the causes of delay
Invoice processing across several systems was mapped, pinpointing where approvals stalled, and candidates for automation with Power Automate were proposed.
-
Purchasing
Finding bottlenecks in order approvals
A heat map of processing time by approval route showed work piling up with a particular approver, leading to operational improvements.
-
Customer support
Mapping inquiry handling from system logs
The process from receiving an inquiry to resolving it was analyzed from M365 logs, identifying patterns that took longest and putting fixes in place.
FAQ
-
Celonis excels at analysis as an enterprise EMS, and UiPath Process Mining at integration with UiPath RPA. Power Automate Process Mining’s strength is that you can start with little extra cost if you already have Microsoft 365 and Power Platform, completing everything from analysis to automation in Power Automate on one platform.
-
Analysis of a single process takes 2–4 weeks, and a standard implementation including data connections to several systems takes about 2–3 months. Depending on how you already use Power Platform, it can be even faster.
-
Yes. If you already use Power Automate, Power Apps and Power BI, you can start process mining on the same licenses and platform. As a rule, no additional platform is needed.
-
Yes. Through connectors, log data from core systems and SaaS can be connected and analyzed too, so you can see whole processes across systems, not just M365.
-
From the candidates you find, flow templates can be created in Power Automate Desktop. ITSO supports the actual flow building and testing, taking you all the way from analysis to automation.
