What process mining missed: How Merck uncovered inefficiencies with task mining

Uncover Inefficiencies with Task Mining

03/17/2025


Task mining captures the full end-to-end workflow across all desktop applications — including click-level actions, complex tasks, and decision points — to deliver actionable insights on how to optimize processes and diagnose the root cause of inefficiencies.

Unlike traditional approaches, AI-powered task mining automatically identifies improvement opportunities within a couple of weeks — without the need to prepare data, implement on-premise solutions or hire additional consultants. This enables organizations to boost workforce productivity, deploy automation faster and continuously optimize processes for smarter, more efficient growth.

Featuring insights from a recent finance transformation initiative at Merck, this session demonstrates how its Global Business Services team used task mining to reclaim thousands of team hours and identify high-impact opportunities for automation and generative AI.

Discover how task mining empowers transformation leaders to unlock the next level of operational excellence (OPEX). 

Speakers: Steve Carpenter, executive director GBS Digital at Merck and Tuhin Chakraborty, CEO and co-founder at Mimica.

Key takeaways include:

  • Why system-level insights fall short in fully capturing work processes and how task mining reveals critical inefficiencies missed by process mining.
  • How task mining uses AI to capture the entire process by mapping every interaction between users and their computers, across all systems and applications.
  • How actionable insights are identified after just two weeks of capturing your team’s work without complex data preparation or costly consultants.
  • How task mining accelerates intelligent automation and AI deployment for rapid business transformation.
  • Strategies for sustained process improvement and workforce productivity through ongoing task monitoring.
