ARIS Launches Process Context for Enterprise AI, Reinforcing Position as the Essential Platform for AI Ecosystem
Process Context for Enterprise AI provides vital business understanding for the AI ecosystem – helping enterprises unlock greater AI value, faster
New capabilities improve operational performance, identify where AI can deliver the most value and give agents access to trusted process context
Combines Object-Centric Process Mining (OCPM), Process Lens and Model Context Protocol (MCP) to create essential platform for agentic AI at scale
SAARBRÜCKEN, Germany, October 20, 2026--ARIS, the pioneer in business process management whose powerful Enterprise Model has been the foundation for enterprise operations for more than three decades, today launched Process Context for Enterprise AI – to become the critical base layer for the agentic ecosystem, giving agents and applications the business understanding they need to deliver measurable new value.
While Process Context is becoming critical for successfully deploying and scaling enterprise AI, it demands far more than simply connecting AI agents to business data. It requires a comprehensive foundation that captures the relationships between processes, people, systems, risks and controls.
Built on a comprehensive Digital Twin of the Organization that connects how work is designed with the execution data that sits around it, ARIS provides this critical layer of Process Context from more than 30 years of enterprise knowledge and experience, something new entrants to the space are struggling to replicate.
The importance of this operational understanding is reinforced by new research conducted by The Hackett Group and ARIS. In a survey of more than 200 business executives at Global 2000 organizations, 82% agreed that Process Context is required for deploying AI agents, yet only 21% reported comprehensive, real-time visibility into how work flows across their enterprise. Crucially, organizations using Process Context tools were more than five times as likely to report measurable ROI from their AI investments.
"Enterprise AI is entering a new phase, and the question for business leaders has rapidly shifted from 'Where can we deploy AI?' to 'Where can AI create the greatest value?'" said Guillaume Bacuvier, CEO, ARIS. "The research exposes the challenge: businesses recognize that AI needs to understand how they operate, but most still lack that foundation. ARIS bridges this gap by providing the Process Context that agents need to work effectively – helping enterprises identify where AI can make the biggest impact, accelerate deployment and deliver measurable new business outcomes."
