Software King of the World, Microsoft, has announced it is buying process mining technology company Minit.
Vole says it will empower the company to help its customers digitally “transform and drive operational excellence” (which we guess has been parked in a car park on bricks for a while now).
Minit apparently helps businesses gain insights into how processes run, uncover root causes of operational challenges and help mitigate undesired process outcomes.
Founded in 2017, the tech scale-up has offices in Amsterdam, London, Bratislava and New York.
Justin Graham, Microsoft’s general manager of process insights, said: “This acquisition will further empower Microsoft to help our customers digitally transform and drive operational excellence by creating a complete picture of their business processes, enabling every process to be easily and automatically analysed and improved.
“Customers will be able to better understand their process data, uncover what operations look like in reality and drive process standardisation and improvement across the organisation to ensure compliance at every step.”
James Dening, CEO of Minit, added: “We are looking forward to what it means to become part of an industry leader like Microsoft and what that brings us – how we can use that scale and excellence to continue to deliver great solutions to our customers.”
