Abstract
An embodiment of the present invention is directed to a Process Discovery tool that intelligently and automatically creates SOP/Process documentation by capturing user actions. The various embodiments of the present invention may perform automatic record and intelligent step capture; apply data masking; annotate and highlight user actions; provide editing and reordering process steps; provide business and technical outputs in multiple formats including user defined templates and enable time and motion study for reengineering and automation prioritization.
Claims20
A system that implements a process discovery tool, the system comprising:
- a database that stores process information;
- an interface that receives inputs from a user device via a communication network;
- and
- a computer processor, coupled to the database and the interface, the computer processor configured to perform the steps of:
- receiving, via an input, process information relating to a standard operating procedure (SOP) process;
- identifying a series of steps executing the SOP process;
- identifying user interaction for each step of the series of steps;
- executing a capture responsive to each user interaction;
- performing data masking to one or more data elements;
- graphically highlighting each user interaction for each step of the series of steps;
- and
- generating an output format that enables a review process.
