Your alternative

Process Intelligence that fits your data and AI strategy.

mpmX runs natively on your data platform, whether Snowflake, Databricks, or Qlik. Your governance stays in place, and AI agents find process context right where your data lives. And the switch? Planned, step by step, without starting over.

Trusted by industry leaders

Platform-native Process Intelligence

mpmX is a platform-native Process Intelligence solution: it analyzes business processes directly on the data platform a company already runs, instead of copying the data into a Process Intelligence vendor's cloud. mpmX reads the event log via pushdown on Snowflake, Databricks, or BigQuery and stores the results, such as variants, throughput times, and conformance, right next to it. That is also where the Context Layer lives, giving AI agents process context. BI, planning, and AI work from the same KPI definitions, and the platform's governance continues to apply. Without a data platform of its own, a company can run mpmX on-premises or in the cloud. Existing case definitions and KPI logic carry over when you switch.

Where things stand

When your data strategy and Process Intelligence drift apart

Your data platform and AI strategy are set. Yet your Process Intelligence setup runs alongside them, with its own data storage, its own AI context, and its own bill.

Architecture

A second data stack next to your own

Your data strategy is built on Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, or Qlik. Yet the event log and process model sit with your Process Intelligence vendor, with their own governance and their own bill.

AI

Little room for your own AI

The vendor decides on the language model, client, and front end. Process context for AI agents lives in their cloud, not on the platform where your AI runs.

Costs

Rising costs, unclear ROI

New processes and add-on modules each come with their own price tag. And the dashboard doesn't show whether an initiative actually paid off.

What changes with mpmX

One model on your platform

mpmX runs natively on Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, or Qlik, or alternatively on-premises or in the cloud. The event log isn't replicated, BI and Process Mining share the same data model, and mpmX inherits permissions from your platform.

AI under your control

Process context lives on your data platform, right where your AI runs. AI agents get the knowledge about your processes they need for reliable answers. You choose the language model and client, and every answer can be traced back.

Predictable
costs

A transparent license model with no separate module pricing. Additional use cases come at no extra license fee, and your existing platform doesn't pick up a second infrastructure bill.

Comparison

The difference is in the architecture

The established vendors have strong platforms. The difference is where the process model and AI context live, and who controls them.

FAQ

Answers to the questions that typically come up before making a decision.

Will the data on my data platform be duplicated in mpmX?

No. mpmX processes the event log via pushdown directly on Snowflake, Databricks, or BigQuery, without replication, and stores the results right next to it. mpmX uses the platform's compute and storage and inherits its permissions, so no second governance layer is created.

Why should process context for AI agents live on the data platform?

AI agents need the knowledge about your processes and KPIs that raw data lacks. If this context sits in a Process Intelligence vendor's cloud, a second version of the truth grows next to your own data platform, with its own governance and its own bill. mpmX places it where your data lives and where your AI agents already work.

Can I use my own language model (LLM) for AI agents?

Yes. With mpmX, you're free to choose the language model and client, cloud-based or local. The process context stays on your data platform, and every answer traces back to a transparent query.

Can I keep my existing process logic and KPIs?

Yes. Case definitions, activity catalogs, KPI logic, and mapping tables carry over, because mpmX works with the same case, activity, and event model. The transformation logic is rebuilt in SQL or dbt on the data platform. Dashboards and analyses are rebuilt on mpmX Templates.

How long does the switch take overall?

3 to 6 months for full implementation, depending on the number and complexity of use cases. Before that, the review workshop, migration plan, and offer take about 6 to 10 weeks combined. The first use cases go live about 8 weeks after implementation starts.

Do both systems run in parallel during the switch?

Yes. The migration happens in stages rather than all at once, and your current system stays in operation until the KPIs in mpmX match the previous values. Only after this parity check is the old system switched off.

Does mpmX cover the features of my current solution?

Yes, for the core Process Mining capabilities: process discovery, conformance checking, root cause analysis, and object-centric process mining (OCPM). In mpmX, OCPM is standard, not an add-on module. The review workshop clarifies which platform-specific features need a redesign before any decision is made.

What does a switch cost?

The cost has two components: one-time migration services and an annual platform license. The license has no separate module pricing, and additional use cases come at no extra license fee. We put together a concrete offer only after the review workshop and migration plan.
