Voorn says : “ A big surprise to me was that data analytics with Alteryx identified activities that were being done that didn ’ t require doing . We then saw the number of contracts that staff could manage increase and the time it took to complete a contract decrease .
The game changer in process optimisation through process mining was when we decided to use Alteryx . We fed the system all our SAP Ariba workflow data which we analysed to identify frictions points , waste and other inefficiencies . This generated very surprising insights that enabled us to close knowledge gaps with some of our users , take out process steps that were not needed , re-engage with key process participants that were ignoring their tasks in the system and were still using e-mail and implement many more improvements . All combined this led to a 25 % shorter cycle time and very material reduction in effort by procurement staff and key stakeholders . energydigital . com 65
