Find what Lean missed in St. Louis — the private workarounds — then automate them properly.
Dataken works with organizations in St. Louis, Missouri that need to know how their people actually perform work before deciding what to automate. We do task mining at the desktop level — measuring applications, steps, handoffs, rework, and time — then quantify where AI and automation pay, implement it through OLi, and measure the result.
St. Louis combines defense manufacturing with large brokerage and healthcare-management back offices. These are process-mature organizations that have already run Lean and Six Sigma programs — and have usually exhausted what observation-based process improvement can find. Desktop activity data reopens the problem with better evidence.
How Dataken serves St. Louis: Dataken, Inc. is headquartered in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, Texas — our only office. OLi is desktop software deployed to your endpoints, so St. Louis engagements are delivered remotely. On-site sessions can be arranged by agreement.
What Dataken does for St. Louis organizations
Measure the work first. Automate second.
Most AI consulting starts with an interview: tell us your problems. Dataken starts with measurement — task mining and process intelligence built from a first-party activity graph in production since 2020, across more than 10 billion activity records. A St. Louis engagement runs six steps.
- 01
Observe how work is actually performed
Task mining at the desktop level — applications used, steps taken, durations, and variation between people doing the same job. Measured, not interviewed.
- 02
Identify bottlenecks, rework, handoffs and friction
The activity graph surfaces duplicate work, decision delays, over-complicated steps, and the private workarounds that never appear in a process map.
- 03
Quantify the opportunity and the ROI
Every finding carries a measured frequency and duration across the population, so the business case is arithmetic rather than estimate.
- 04
Determine where AI, automation, or agents actually make sense
Prioritized by volume, repeatability, and measured cost — which also means saying plainly which processes should be eliminated rather than automated.
- 05
Implement it — not just deliver a strategy deck
OLi ships to the desktop and acts at the point of work, surfacing the right knowledge, content, or completed action in the moment.
- 06
Measure the result afterward
The same activity graph that produced the baseline measures the change. 10% more productive time in 30 days, or the engagement is not billed.

Questions from St. Louis
Frequently asked
- We have already done Lean and process improvement. What is left to find?
- Lean programs find what observers can see. They systematically miss the private workarounds — the personal spreadsheet, the saved search, the second monitor reference document — because those are invisible during observation and unreported in interviews. Those workarounds are the bulk of what the activity graph surfaces.
- Does Dataken have an office in St. Louis?
- No. Dataken, Inc. is headquartered in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, Texas, and serves St. Louis organizations remotely. OLi is desktop software deployed to your endpoints, so delivery, rollout, and support are performed remotely; on-site sessions can be arranged by agreement.
- How do St. Louis teams start with OLi?
- Start with a 30-minute demo. Deployment scopes to a single operational function first, runs against a baseline agreed at kickoff, and carries the 10%-more-productive-time-in-30-days commitment.
