ProDiscovery

South Korea-based Puzzle Data is a relatively new entrant in the Process Mining software market. The customer base includes companies in manufacturing, transportation, retail, mobile gaming and public institutions like hospitals and Korea’s Supreme Prosecutors’ Office. Puzzle Data’s ProDiscovery solution is made up of around 30 widgets (“puzzles”) that can be individually configured and added to any dashboard. While a Conformance Checking functionality is still in development, ProDiscovery offers sophisticated widgets for process discovery, statistical analyses, social networks and organizational graphs. Dashboards can be shared with users in the same organization. The architecture is designed for Big Data processing and is built on the open-source environments Apache Hadoop, Spark and the Elasticsearch engine.
