ARIS

What ARIS does

ARIS (legally SAG ARIS GmbH) is a Process Intelligence platform vendor headquartered in Saarbrücken, Germany, founded in 1992 and operating as an independent company since its 2025 separation from Software AG. The platform unifies Business Process Management (BPM), Process Mining, and AI capabilities in a single integrated environment, anchored by a proprietary "Process Core" digital twin that consolidates processes, roles, rules, controls, and systems into a governed foundation. The product suite spans ARIS Business Process Analysis (BPA) for modeling and governance, ARIS Process Mining for event-log-driven process reconstruction, ARIS Process Performance Manager (PPM) for operational analysis, ARIS Task Mining for desktop-level interaction capture, and ARIS Risk and Compliance for regulatory adherence — including native support for the EU AI Act and DORA.

The platform ingests data through native connectors to SAP, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Oracle, and Microsoft, with additional integrations to Splunk and Adobe Analytics for digital customer journey monitoring. ARIS sells primarily via direct enterprise field sales complemented by a global PartnerConnect network of SIs and resellers, with ARIS Roadshow events and a community platform supporting demand generation. Revenue is generated through SaaS subscriptions (with cloud, private cloud, and on-premise deployment options), structured Fast Track professional service packages, and ARIS Academy training and certification. The customer base is enterprise-led and cross-industry, with named logos including Rolls-Royce, Siemens, Philips, Volkswagen, Tesco, Boehringer Ingelheim, Boots, Standard Bank, Dubai Health Authority, Alicorp, and Nippon Signal.

The company's strategic positioning centers on becoming the "process context layer" for Agentic AI deployment at enterprise scale — arguing that AI agents require a governed process foundation to operate reliably. Capabilities span structured-data process mining, generative AI for insights and recommendations, anomaly detection through conformance checking, predictive analytics for root cause analysis, and autonomous AI agents operating within process context. The senior leadership bench, drawn from Kantar Worldpanel, dunnhumby, Google, Celonis, SAP, Salesforce, United Internet, and Vodafone, signals a post-spin commercial transformation mandate. ARIS has been named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Process Intelligence Platforms for three consecutive years (2024-2026).
