Content

In the ever evolving landscape of business process management, the inception of aiones marks a pivotal moment.

This innovative tool is the fruit of years of expertise in the business process consulting and automation space, addressing a critical gap in the process lifecycle that often led to increased cost, detrimental long term effects and delongated project timelines or even project failure.

aiones is not just a technological advancement; it’s a paradigm shift in how businesses approach and handle their processes.

Intention And Background

The journey of aiones began as an answer to a common yet complex challenge: the need for effective and efficient process discovery and design. Observing the struggles that organizations faced due to inadequate discovery phases, the concept of aiones was born. It was envisioned as a tool that could simplify and streamline this process lifecycle phase, significantly reducing the burden on process managers and team members alike.

This inspiration was rooted in the recognition that many companies, driven by the allure of automation and its promised returns, often overlooked the critical step of thorough process analysis. Consequently, IT departments frequently ended up steering the process due to their technical expertise, leading to a deviation from the actual business processes.

aiones emerges at a time when AI technology has become accessible to a wider audience, providing an opportune moment to assist users in this tedious yet crucial task. By leveraging AI in process discovery, aiones aims to ensure that processes are not just assumed based on perceived operations, but are accurately derived from real workflows, providing a true reflection of how business is conducted.

Target Audience And Setup

aiones is designed with a broad spectrum of process-driven organizations in mind, catering to the needs of not just medium to large companies but also extending its benefits to smaller enterprises that are keen on embracing process-centric operations.

Its adaptability lies in its ability to either complement existing process management teams or fully assume the role of process discovery and design. This flexibility makes aiones an invaluable asset for any organization that places a strong emphasis on continuous improvement and change driven by efficient process management.

Frequently Asked Questions

Business Process Discovery (BPD) involves the identification, mapping, and analysis of business processes in their current state to gain a comprehensive understanding of an organization’s operations and to uncover how processes are executed.

A systematic approach helps in documenting the current state of processes, which is essential for standardization, regulatory compliance, and process re-engineering efforts.

So far, Process Discovery has mostly been done through Process Management teams, holding workshops and assembling information manually.

One well known discipline that is often associated with the field of Business Process Discovery is Process Mining. This data driven approach allows to gain insights from event logs and data storages. 

Business Process Mining refers to the discipline of identifying, mapping, and analysing business processes through data driven approaches.

When Process Mining, known processes and workflows are followed up through and tested against event logs and data storages. 

The outcome is a detailed picture of how processes have actually been executed.

Business Process Discovery, the field aiones has focused on, features extraction of information from direct communications.

We believe the people working in your organization are the best source of knowledge to understand what you do and how you generate value.

Aiones can provide you with a detailled image of your process landscape, before data is accessible – or even before processes are established!

If you are able to use chat software, you are ready to use aiones!

It’s as easy as talking, and there is no existing knowledge required.

Aiones is a conversation based discovery system that will ask you questions about your organization, processes and tasks.

Piece by piece, a larger and more detailled picture will emerge – which in turn is used to provide you with answers to questions, tailor made reports or exports for applications and development. 

No!

You can bring data from your business process management software, in the form of BPMN files – or you can provide any form of text based documentation.

But it is absolutely not required!
You can start by writing down what you currently do, and aiones will take over to ask you for more information.

We can discover with a single person, or hundreds of them!

It heavily depends on your need for accuracy.

We always suggest to include all of your employees, to draw information from a diverse pool of knowledge, and allow everyone the same access to this unique source of wisdom.

Another benefit is that you’ll be able to find and see deviations in specific countries, regions, teams or structures, if you include a wide range of your teams. 
 
But in the end, it is up to you!
You can always scale up at any time as needed.

Currently we feature the output of business process models as graphic and bpmn xml export, as well as the output of general process information in pdf reports.

Indeed!

There are two ways to test out aiones.

The first way is to access our free trial page, on which you can take part in a realistic discovery chat and generate outputs to your information. 

The second way it to book a demo and get an entry to our early access program!
