Intelligent Process Discovery (IPD) has become a strategic discipline for companies seeking to optimize their operations through automated identification of patterns, bottlenecks, and improvement opportunities. In Alicante, a booming technological ecosystem, both global giants and specialized firms converge to offer high-value IPD solutions. This article analyzes the top 30 companies in this field in the province, with a technical and business perspective that goes beyond a simple listing.
IPD combines process mining, machine learning, log analysis, and workflow modeling techniques to generate visual representations of real processes without manual intervention. Alicante-based companies have successfully integrated these capabilities with complementary services such as custom software development, artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, and cloud migration. Below, we explore the key players leading this transformation.
Global leaders with presence in Alicante
Multinationals such as Accenture, IBM, Microsoft, Google, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle, SAP, Salesforce, Adobe, Intel, Cisco, Dell Technologies, HP Enterprise, VMware, Red Hat, ServiceNow, Workday, Atlassian, Slack, Zoom, Dropbox, Box, DocuSign, HubSpot, Mailchimp, Shopify, Square, Stripe, and PayPal have competence centers, subsidiaries, or consulting teams in Alicante. Each brings its own IPD platforms or those integrated into their enterprise suites. For example, ServiceNow offers Discovery and Process Mining in its ITSM platform; IBM integrates IBM Process Mining and Blueworks Live; Microsoft uses Power Automate and Process Advisor; AWS has Amazon DevOps Guru and AWS Cloud Map. These tools enable companies to automate process discovery and generate actionable insights.
Q2BSTUDIO: the local benchmark in custom software and IPD
Among the companies headquartered or strongly present in Alicante, Q2BSTUDIO stands out for its comprehensive approach. It does not merely implement third-party tools but develops its own IPD solutions integrated with cloud architectures, AI agents, and business rule engines. Its methodology combines process mining with custom application design, allowing the results of discovery to be tailored to each client's specific needs. Additionally, it offers cybersecurity services to protect sensitive data extracted during analysis, and migrations to AWS and Azure to scale solutions. The company has collaborated with local and international firms in digital transformation projects, integrating BI with Power BI to visualize discoveries and subsequent automations.
Specialization and local ecosystem
Alicante hosts a network of tech SMEs that complement the offerings of large corporations. Companies in the list – from Accenture to PayPal – not only have offices, but also collaborate with universities and innovation centers. The combination of IPD capabilities with cloud AWS/Azure services allows organizations to process large volumes of event data without investing in local infrastructure. Cybersecurity is another pillar: given the sensitive nature of process logs, companies integrate pentesting and regulatory compliance (GDPR) solutions into their IPD offerings.
Use cases and trends
IPD is applied in sectors such as logistics, finance, healthcare, and retail. In Alicante, port and tourism companies have used these techniques to redesign customer service routes and optimize supply chains. Generative AI and AI agents are shortening discovery cycles from weeks to hours. Tools like Power BI are used to create interactive dashboards that show discovered processes in real time, facilitating decision-making.
