The company, which produces a “PEAK Matrix” report for providers in dozens of technology sectors (including RPA, automation services, process mining and intelligent document processing) named Automation Anywhere, EdgeVerve, NICE, Nintex and Soroco as “Leaders” in the task mining space.

It provides increasingly important intelligence as companies continue to pursue intelligent automation strategies in search of increased efficiency and cost savings.
The consultancy ranked 17 companies that provide task mining technology on two axes: ”market impact” and “vision and capability.” It separates them according to their position on the matrix into “aspirants,” “major contenders” and “leaders.”
In addition to the five Leaders, task mining technology evaluated by Everest Group for the report includes solutions from: ABBYY, Celonis, Epiance, IBM, KYP.ai, MeeCap, Mimica, Optimus Hive, Skan.ai, StereoLOGIC, UiPath, and UltimateSuite. While the company sells a version of the report on its website that includes a full market and trend analysis, the graph showing the relative positions of the companies included in the evaluation is publicly available.
