Software AG IUG 2024: Process mining as GenAI democratisation candidate | Computer Weekly
Summary
The Software AG International User Groups conference (IUG24) in Dublin was told this week of the supplier’s distinctive mission for generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) – the democratisation of business process mining and management. Stefan Sigg, chief product officer at the German enterprise software group, told a gathering of media and analysts ahead of his keynote presentation that organisations are still in the early stages of discovering how GenAI could improve business process mining and modelling, but that it does hold significant promise. It will not solve you an answer to a new mathematical problem.” At the conference, which was attended by over 600 people from around from 300 worldwide Software AG customers, the supplier announced updates to its Aris process mining/modelling tool, and its Alfabet enterprise architecture and strategic portfolio management system. For instance, recent research from TechTarget’s market insights team, based on analysing user activity on our global network of web sites, shows a 183% increase in engagement with generative AI among a business process management-specific audience over the past 12 months. In similar vein, TechTarget industry editor David Essex and Holger Mueller of Constellation Research, had a stimulating discussion in late 2022 about the topic of ERP vendors punting low-code/no-code development that explored the positives and negatives of the trend.
