Process Mining and Business Process Management (BPM) are complementary tools in process automation. BPM designs and models the ideal process, while Process Mining analyzes event logs to reveal how processes actually function in practice. This exposes bottlenecks, abnormal paths, and inefficiencies that BPM might overlook. The key difference lies in perspective: BPM shows the intended process, whereas Process Mining uncovers the real one. Used together, they strengthen automation by aligning design with reality, ensuring improvements are grounded in data. This integration helps organizations cut costs, streamline workflows, and achieve more accurate process optimization.
