Innovation Lab

Why do we have our very own Innovation Lab? To generate and develop ground-breaking ideas in data analytics and process improvement! 

Process analytics is about creating value from process data. We are always on the look-out for the latest trends and technologies. Whenever we spot something interesting, we examine how we can turn it into added value for our clients by fitting it into their existing architecture without the need for new tools and software. Our Innovation Lab has partnerships academic institutions around the world.

A playground for the data minded

Whenever a challenge seems too complex or farfetched to realize, the good people of our Innovation Lab get excited. In here, a select number of researchers and process miners from DataLane work together freely and fiercely with academia and companies at the forefront of innovation. Using data from participating companies allows us to quickly build a prototype and turn it into an off the shelf solution. 

How does our Innovation Lab work?

Any innovation goes through the same 3 phases: 

  1. Spontaneous ideation: this is an ongoing process. A new idea can come from a client looking to really move forward, from one of the universities we collaborate with or anyone at DataLane.  
  2. Rapid prototyping: we like to rapidly turn a great idea into a proof of concept. Within 2 to 4 weeks, we create an actual prototype. 
  3. Productizing. Turning a promising prototype into a product usually takes around 3 to 15 months.
