Insights & Updates

Hey Community, Let Me Introduce Myself!Hi everyone! I'm Julian, and I'm thrilled to be the owner of this group. A little about me: I'm a Senior Product Marketing Manager at Celonis, and I've been working with Celonis for the past year.My background is in engineering, product management and product strategy, specifically around AI and deep tech first in the automotive industry and then in the B2B software space. For over a decade as product strategist and product marketeer, I've watched AI evolve from highly technical, applied machine learning into today’s generative AI. I love this shift because it empowers everyday business users to bring their ideas to life fast; and no data science PhD required!Outside of work, I'm an endurance enthusiast and athlete. I specifically  love long-distance running and cycling. And since I am young I am also coaching other athletes. Funny enough, even there, AI is changing the way sports coaches work! I'm always happy to connect on those topics, too.What

Welcome back to our monthly Community AMA Series. This month, we are diving into all things Celonis AI. Session #3: Celonis AIOut-of-the-box AI lacks the operational context needed to drive real business value.

Hey Celonis Community! 👋Are you ready to talk about the absolute hottest topic in tech right now? Yes, we’re talking about AI Agents! We’ve all heard the incredible buzz, but how do we move past the hype and actually unlock real Return on Investment ? According to a super insightful feature in Digital Business Magazin highlighting major takeaways from Celosphere, there’s one golden key that makes or breaks an AI agent's success: Context Models! 🛑 The Speed Bump: High Expectations vs. RealityDid you know that 89% of global leaders see AI as their single most important competitive lever?  But here’s the catch: existing, fragmented processes are slowing them down for 76% of executives.In fact, 8 out of 10 decision-makers agree on one game-changing truth: Without a deep understanding of operational context, AI will not deliver a sustainable ROI. An AI agent without context is like a world-class driver dropped into a city without a map. It has all the power to go fast, but no clue where t

Scaling Process Intelligence from a pilot to an enterprise engine isn't just a tech rollout, it's an organizational gamechanger. Drawing from digital transformation experience across global enterprises like Merck, GE HealthCare, and Johnson Controls, here is the playbook for driving massive enterprise ROI.🚫 The Don’tsDON’T start with pure reporting: Using Celonis like a prettier Power BI delivers zero ROI. Focus on proactive, context-driven process execution rather than passive, historic dashboards. DON’T isolate IT: Data pipelines matter. Always build a Governance Trio for every domain, combining a Process Lead, a Functional Lead, and an IT Lead alongside your Center of Excellence.. DON’T rely solely on grassroots excitement: Bottom-up energy builds momentum, but top-down sponsorship drives budget. Executive alignment at Merck boosted total realized value from $20M to $75M in a single year. DON’T accept functional silos: Process is process, whether in Finance, Manufacturing, or Clini

Welcome back to our monthly Community AMA Series, where you get direct access to the product teams and experts behind Celonis' latest innovations!This month, we are tackling a major challenge in modern data architecture: Bidirectional Data Sharing within Data Core.Session 2: Deep Dive into Bidirectional Data Sharing within Data CoreMost integration work still means copying data. Every copy adds cost, adds latency, and creates one more source of truth to reconcile. Bidirectional data sharing in Data Core takes a different route: built on open table and sharing standards, data moves in both directions between your central data layer and Celonis without being duplicated. Join this session to learn everything you need to know about setting up and maximizing Bidirectional Data Sharing within the Celonis Data Core.

Hey Celonis Community! Let’s be honest: just about every enterprise is rolling out an AI pilot or initiative right now. And if you look at the executive dashboards, things look amazing! 🚀 Ticket automations are up, bug fixes are fast, and data parsing is a breeze.But according to an Economist Enterprise report, while CTOs are celebrating high confidence in AI returns, the teams closest to the actual work are feeling a lot less enthusiastic. Why the gap? Because we are treating AI like bolt-on tech solutions and measuring activity and tasks, instead of true business outcomes. We're mistaking a busy waiter for a happy diner! If you want to move past vanity metrics and ensure your AI investments are driving real value, here are the benchmarks you actually need to consider:Ditch the Vanity Metrics 📉: Just because an AI tool is being used doesn't mean it's actually helping. Adoption rates and click counts are just noise if they don't move the needle on real business goals. Focus on Real O

Hey Celonis Community! Ready for some major process inspiration? Today, we’re celebrating the team at Vinmar International (a global plastics and chemicals distributor) and their incredible transformation journey.Operating in over 110 countries, Vinmar was facing constant global supply chain disruptions. Instead of just reacting, they teamed up with Celonis to turn complexity into their superpower.Here is how they did it:The Mission: Turn a massive $3B business unit's Order-to-Invoice process into a fully automated, intelligent operation. The Secret Sauce: They connected their ERP, logistics, and banking data into a central Celonis cockpit. Now, an AI Agent automatically ranks the best shipping options based on cost and speed, leaving humans in the loop just for the final green light. The Results: A massive 20% efficiency boost! Processes that used to take six months of manual coordination are now done in just two days.“Celonis has absolutely given us a head start in our AI journey.” 

Hey Celonis Community! Grab your popcorn, because the tech world is undergoing a massive plot twist! We’ve officially entered AI's Second Act. The days of gasping over massive, generic LLMs that can write poems about pizza are making way for the real hero of the enterprise: Applied AI rooted in true operational context. Turns out, just throwing a ginormous model at complex business processes is like bringing a monster truck to a Mario Kart race, it’s flashy, but it’s totally going to miss the shortcuts! To actually win, AI needs to understand exactly how your business operates.Here is why operational context is stealing the show in AI's second act:Size Isn't Everything! : A smaller, laser-focused AI model packed with your organization's unique process data will run circles around a massive, generic model every single time. It's all about precision, not bragging rights! No More Blind Spots : Generic AI has no idea about your custom workflows, legacy quirks, or that one hyper-specific wo

Hey Celonis Community! 👋 Ready for some major process inspiration?Let’s take a quick trip to Germany, home to Europe's largest production site for packaging steel: thyssenkrupp Rasselstein! They serve over 400 customers across 80 countries, but even global giants face massive market pressure.To stay ahead, they set a bold goal: digitize their end-to-end supply chain. The catch? Their massive facility was powered by more than 300 different legacy systems! Talk about a breeding ground for operational silos and data blind spots. Worse yet, planners were completely "blind" to the status of incoming raw materials from their parent company, making it impossible to pivot when delays popped up.🔗 Enter the Digital Twin To shatter these silos, the team used the Celonis Process Intelligence Platform to build a real-time digital twin of their entire supply chain!By streaming near real-time data from their parent company straight into their internal planning systems, they created a beautifully "c

Hey Celonis Community! 👋Have you ever wondered what happens when one of the most complex, high-stakes organizations on the planet tries to clean up its financial operations?For years, the Department of War has chased the holy grail of a clean audit opinion. The traditional strategy? Pouring billions of dollars into highly customized, ultra-expensive "vanity" software platforms.But there’s a massive catch: when a system requires an army of PhD-level specialists just to run a basic query, the vendor holds all the keys. The career government professionals left to manage the actual funds are left locked on the outside looking in.The Department is finally shifting from high-cost, customized setups to Purpose-Built Commercial Off-the-Shelf solutions and Celonis is leading the charge!Here is exactly how process intelligence is outperforming vanity platforms, broken down for quick reading:🏛️ The Great Disconnect: Vanity vs. ValueWhy is the Department of War pivoting to a process-first COTS p

Hey Celonis Community! 👋Are you ready for a sustainability superpower that helps the planet and your bottom line? At London Climate Action Week, the buzz was all about how we are rewriting the rules of green business!For years, companies treated sustainability and competitiveness like oil and water. But that old divide is officially history.Enter Sustainability 4.0 and the Celonis Context Model! Here is how we are changing the game together:From Reporting to Execution: We’ve graduated from basic awareness and compliance reporting. Sustainability 4.0 is all about embedding green choices directly into daily operations. The Context Model Brains: Celonis acts as an operational intelligence layer.

Hey Celonis Community! 🙌Are you ready to talk about the future of ERP transformations? We all know that Generative AI is completely changing the game, promising to make migrations faster, smarter, and way more agile! But there’s a catch.
