Process Mining Salary and Insights for 2025

What is a Process Mining?

Every process step you make creates digital traces – event log data – in transactional systems that you use, and process mining excavates these digital traces in a meaningful way to help you understand any business better. By using the event log data created by process mining, Celonis offers a digital twin of your actual business processes with which you can visualise every move your business makes in real time. A digital twin shows your processes as they are, with all the smokescreens that may have been there all along. It also shows you where you can find value opportunities and highlights and resolves inefficiencies. For every system and every process.

Ten years ago, process mining was an academic theory. Today, it is an established business technology. It is used by thousands companies across the world, with new ones starting every day.

For years, it has been seen (by businesses, by analysts and the IT press) as the means to really ‘see’ what you are doing. It has now reached a stage where, in 2023, Gartner® has created a Magic Quadrant™ for process mining, which speaks to process mining’s growing market traction in the business world. 

Or as Professor Wil van der Aalst at Eindhoven University puts it, process mining is ‘the missing link between data science  [ie, algorithms, machine learning, data mining and predictive analytics] and process science [eg, operations management and research, business process improvement and management, process automation, workflow management, and optimisation].

The accelerator agents are part of the workhorse technology behind plan mining, the Celonis technology that allows for end-to-end visibility into event-driven custom applications or corporate workflows, allowing enterprises to understand how a work process is working today and find opportunities the organisation might not be aware of.
