Process Intelligence Unlocks Government Savings

Summary
- Oklahoma discovered $3 billion in agency spending without oversight.
- Process intelligence identified over $10 million in inappropriate spending.
- Texas youth offender data revealed mental health links to incarceration.
Oklahoma has embraced process intelligence (PI) technology to address a significant oversight gap, following the discovery of $3 billion in agency spending without proper controls in April 2023. Director Janet Morrow implemented PI for real-time transaction monitoring, rapidly identifying over $10 million in inappropriate spending and significantly improving team effectiveness.
This pioneering use of PI in public sector procurement is part of a global movement. Leaders gathered at Celosphere explored how PI, combined with AI, can drive commercial, environmental, and financial benefits. The technology offers unprecedented transparency into governmental processes, from procurement to juvenile justice and healthcare, enabling more cost-effective service delivery and informed policy-making.
The application of PI extends beyond financial oversight. In Texas, researchers used PI to analyze juvenile justice and public health data, revealing a strong correlation between mental health treatment and incarceration. This data-driven insight is poised to reshape interventions for young offenders and improve outcomes.
