Method for providing business process analyses

A computer-implemented method for providing at least one analytics package to a process mining system, wherein the analytics package provides analyses of business processes to a user of the process mining system, wherein the method is executed in a computer system having a processor and a memory device operatively coupled to the processor, and wherein the method comprises

• (a) providing at least one event log to the processor, the event log comprising process data of the business processes, the process data being derived from raw data stored in a source system comprising at least one data table of a database system, wherein the process data comprise at least one process element and the at least one process element comprises at least one process step, the event log being stored with the memory device according to a predetermined data structure, the predetermined data structure comprising at least
• a first attribute for storing a unique identifier of the process element of the respective process step,
• a second attribute for storing an identifier of the respective process step, and
• a third attribute for storing an order of the process steps within the process element;
• (b) providing auxiliary data to the processor, the auxiliary data being stored in a set of tables, where the auxiliary data belong to the event log;
• (c) providing a data model to the processor, the data model describing the predetermined data structure, the set of tables and the relations between the tables and the predetermined data structure;
• and
• (d) creating, based on the data model, the at least one analytics package, the at least one analytics package comprising executable program modules for creating and displaying at least one graphical analysis of the process data stored with the event log and of the auxiliary data stored with the set of tables;
• wherein the method further comprises providing an event log package to the processor, the event log package comprising at least one process sensor, wherein the at least one process sensor
• derives the process data from the raw data, and
• generates from the derived process data
• the unique identifiers of process elements,
• the identifiers of process steps which are assigned to the process elements, and
• the order of the process steps,
• wherein the at least one process sensor is executed by the processor and wherein the processor stores the generated data as the event log with the memory device according to the predetermined data structure, and
• wherein the relationship between the event log packages and the analytics package is a one-to-many relationship and wherein the execution of the program modules of the analytics package on the process mining system depends on whether the corresponding event log package is available on the process mining system.
