Process mining relies on (big) data. With our evolving ETL and database infrastructure and process mining-inspired query language (PQL), we are continuously developing cutting-edge technologies to take advantage of the vast amount of process data and knowledge to deliver value for our customers. In our research projects, we are focusing on building ever more scalable and low latency databases and process mining engines.
