Task Mining – the cornerstone of business automation in 2025



Data is a crucial business asset, revealing how operations actually run. However, with the current stream of information, the process of data management may become labor-intensive and overly complex. As industries expand the issue of process inefficiency only grows bigger. The key to overcoming the issue is business automation.

Automation allows companies to eliminate routine manual tasks that slow down processes and increase costs. But blindly automating tasks without analyzing the existing workflows can lead to wasted efforts and missed opportunities.

To avoid the scenario, companies choose Task Mining – a game-changing solution, providing data-driven insights, so business automation doesn’t go in vain.

Let’s break down what Task Mining is and why it’s the cornerstone of business automation.

What’s Task Mining?

Task Mining is a cutting-edge process analytics technology. Unlike traditional manual process analytics, it’s data-driven and provides an accurate picture of ‘as-is’ business processes. With the help of Task Mining, you can capture user interaction data (e.g. form filling, clicks) and see how tasks are performed within your organization. The ‘high-definition view’ of your processes allows you to identify inefficiencies and areas for improvement.

Key features of Task Mining

  • Advanced data collection

Previously, conducting a series of employee interviews was necessary to see how the work is getting done. With Task Mining, data collection is seamless and doesn’t disrupt normal workflow. All you need to do is install Task Mining Clients on employees’ PCs and they will work their magic. They will collect all user interaction data automatically, focusing solely on task execution, ensuring maximum objectivity and accuracy. The algorithms are designed to capture the sheer fact of user actions and Task Mining guarantees sensitive data safety.

  • Task-level visualization

When the data is collected, manually created descriptions of business processes can be hard to interpret. Traditional reports exist in text form, which doesn’t represent ‘as-is’ workflows. Task Mining automatically provides interactive dashboards that display real workflows at the task-level without the help of analysts, making process inefficiencies easier to identify and address.

  • High-impact automation opportunities

Task Mining ensures targeting tasks with the highest automation potential. The technology helps to identify the most repetitive manual tasks and ranks them according to automation potential. Accurate and objective task-level analytics allows to get backlog of tasks to automate to achieve the greatest economic benefits.

Why business automation is more efficient with Task Mining

Business automation opens the door to operational efficiency when done correctly. To know for sure that automation of inefficient tasks is conducted as it should be, companies opt for Task Mining.
Here’s why using Task Mining is essential for successful business automation:

  • Lack of visibility leads to inefficient automation

Limited process transparency creates uncertainty about automation prospects. Task Mining tools illuminate business processes from within and it allows you to make data-driven decisions automation wise. Instead of blindly automating, businesses can use Task Mining insights to target inefficiencies, ensuring businesses don’t automate for the sake of automation. When the whole picture is not in access, it is easy to make a wrong decision, with Task Mining – it is impossible to make a mistake. Intelligent algorithms show routine manual tasks ready for optimization.

  • Accurate calculations drive real economic benefits

To achieve tangible economic benefits from business automation, it’s essential to be sure that tasks are frequent enough and their automation can bring significant profits. Task Mining provides all the details on task execution. Thanks to the process analysis you get an idea of who executes tasks, how frequently they’re performed and how much time is spent on their execution. It allows you to calculate economic benefits from automation more precisely. Assume that a task takes 15 minutes to complete manually but only saves a few seconds per iteration through automation. The cost of automation could outweigh the benefit. In this case, the question of automation can be irrelevant, and task can be either eliminated altogether or left as it is.
