The Process Intelligence, using the data registered by (or in) the information systems during organization's day to day operations, allows to verify in detail its behaviour.

Using pre existing models (processes, organization charts, rules), both internally and externally defined, it gives an independent point of view to check whether, and at what extent, the organization conforms to them.

Assessments, pre-auditing or auditing are easily performed in order to prove, not only compliance, but also security of actual operations and practices, identifying any existing noncompliance or improvement opportunity.

Furthermore, dedicated tools allow to check the occurrence of specific undesired  behaviours.

Different methodologies are used, according to the investigated perspective (activity flow, organization or business rules) and the required pieces of information (detailed or general results, assessment, conformance analysis, undesired behaviours). Most of them implemented in R, the well known environment for statistical computing and graphics.
