Customer Transformation Advisor,
Celonis
Shared Service teams are under massive pressure to deliver. During Covid-19 their remit grew and now, faced with tackling inflation, they are being asked to chase end-to-end process optimization and economies of scale.
Cost reduction is table stakes. Teams need to master more functions and prove broader value against an enterprise’s core business outcomes.
Process mining can relieve the pressure on Shared Services. If you can achieve seamless, intelligent back-office processes then you free up resources to create value.
In this case study learn how to use process intelligence to:
- Operate at maximum efficiency
- Ramp up service quality
- Build close relationships inside and outside the business
- Move from simply handling savings & efficiencies to making valuable, strategic impacts on business outcomes

Panel Discussion: Have You Reached E2E Process Nirvana?(And What Might Be Stopping You)

SVP Shared Services and Onsite Operations,
IKS Health
Kimberly Smith - VP, Finance Transformation, Veolia North America
SSON’s 2022 State of the Industry Survey reported end-to-end process integration was a top priority for 81% of shared services. As intelligent automation within shared services has grown, so has the focus on having robust and smooth end-to-end processes. Whilst you are automating just one or two processes, E2E processes aren’t so important, but when it comes to realizing the benefits of full-scale, industrialized RPA, it becomes crucial. This session looks at how automation plus tools like process mining can help you create a smooth end to end process, focusing in on:
· Identifying process bottlenecks
· How end-to-end processes can enable crucial data analytics
· Automating your processes in the right way for speed and success

In this panel discussion we have gathered together a group of experts to discuss:
