Celonis
Expose how work really runs with data,
and act on it automatically.
Celonis is a process mining platform consistently named a leader by Gartner and Forrester. It analyzes event logs from business systems in real time and reveals the gap between how processes should run and how they actually run. With Action Engine, it goes all the way to fixing the inefficiencies it finds, automatically.
What you can do with Celonis
-
Automatic process discovery
Generates actual process flows automatically from system event logs, using all the data to reveal complex paths, variants and deviations the human eye can’t see.
-
Conformance checking
Automatically detects how far actual work strays from the designed process, so compliance violations, skipped steps and improper handling are caught in real time.
-
Bottleneck and KPI analysis
Visualizes processing time, waiting time, frequency and cost with heat maps and KPI dashboards, pinpointing the causes of delays and setting improvement priorities with numbers.
-
Action Engine (automated improvement)
For problems found in analysis, Action Engine fires triggers and runs fixes automatically, so improvement happens in real time instead of stopping at analysis.
-
Business simulation
Simulate improvements before making them. Predict the impact on cost, time and quality in numbers, and choose the best option while minimizing risk.
-
900+ connectors
Native integration with more than 900 systems, including SAP, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Oracle and Microsoft 365, enables end-to-end process analysis across systems.

Issues
Invisible processes, improvements based on gut feeling, analysis that never leads to action: sound familiar?
Analytics tools stop at visualization and never lead to action
Most BI and visualization tools only show the current state. Fixing what they find still has to be done by hand, so the improvement cycle never gets going.
You can’t see how systems are really used, or where the waste is
Compiling and analyzing data scattered across ERP, CRM and other systems by hand only goes so far, and you can’t pinpoint where bottlenecks and deviations occur.
Process improvement relies on individual experience and intuition, with no evidence
Analysis based on interviews and sampling depends on the analyst’s experience, making it hard to give management hard numbers for explanations and priorities.
Celonis solves all of these at once.
Benefits
Six reasons to adopt and use Celonis with ITSO.
Certified Celonis partner
As an official Celonis partner, ITSO provides EMS design, implementation and operation. With access to the latest features and priority support, we deliver high-quality deployments.
Business knowledge × analysis design
Consultants with knowledge of finance, procurement, customer service, SCM and more design the analysis, supporting you from a business perspective all the way from what to analyze to how to improve.
Building the data foundation
We handle connector setup, data preparation and ETL design for SAP, Salesforce and core systems, building the data foundation Celonis needs to work properly.
Action Engine support
Our strength is Action Engine design that doesn’t stop at analysis. We handle design, implementation and testing of automated fixes triggered by analysis results.
Driving RPA and DX together
We connect Celonis insights to RPA, LCAP and your DX strategy, turning one-off process improvements into organization-wide digital transformation.
Ongoing monitoring support
Remote support for KPI dashboards, regular reviews and the improvement cycle after rollout keeps Celonis working as an ongoing improvement tool, not a one-time project.
Flow
ITSO implements Celonis in four steps, from analysis all the way to action.
-
1
Consultation and scope
1–2 weeksWe learn about the target processes, your core systems and your challenges, prioritize what to analyze, and define the project scope and goals.
-
2
Data integration and ETL design
2–4 weeksWe set up connectors to core systems such as SAP and Salesforce, design the data model for event logs, and build a data foundation that meets permission and security requirements.
-
3
Process analysis and visualization
2–4 weeksWe run process discovery, conformance checking and bottleneck analysis, and build KPI dashboards that show the gap between how processes should run and how they actually run.
-
4
Action Engine design and improvement
OngoingWe design and implement automated triggers for inefficiencies found in analysis, and after go-live keep the improvement cycle turning with KPI dashboards and regular reviews.
Scene
From finance and procurement to customer service and RPA, Celonis is at work across a wide range of tasks.
-
Finance and accounting
Optimizing finance and accounting processes
Celonis visualizes Purchase-to-Pay and Order-to-Cash, automatically detecting duplicate payments, approval delays and invoice exceptions, and Action Engine runs the fixes. Cash flow improves while processing costs fall.
-
Procurement and purchasing
Improving procurement processes
Procurement lead times, supplier response times and approval waits are measured with data. By pinpointing bottlenecks and applying automation, lead times were cut by 35% on average.
-
Company-wide DX teams
Finding where to apply RPA and driving automation
Celonis identifies the work patterns where automation pays off most, feeding straight into RPA priorities. Data-driven automation, not guesswork, maximizes the return on your RPA investment.
FAQ
-
UiPath Process Mining is strongest in seamless integration with UiPath RPA, while Celonis, a standalone platform consistently named a leader by Gartner and Forrester, excels at broad integration through 900+ connectors and automated improvement with Action Engine. If you already run RPA on UiPath, UiPath Process Mining fits; if you want an enterprise-scale analysis platform across systems, Celonis is the better choice.
-
It depends on the scope and how complex the integration is, but from consultation through data integration design to analysis and visualization usually takes about 1.5 to 2.5 months. Implementing automated improvement with Action Engine adds more time.
-
Event logs come in through more than 900 standard connectors, including SAP, Salesforce and ServiceNow. ITSO also designs permissions, encryption and access control for the integration to your requirements, so adoption stays in line with your security policy.
-
Yes. You can start with a single process (for example, purchasing only) and expand as you see results. We recommend beginning with a PoC on the process with the biggest challenges.
-
ITSO supports Action Engine design, implementation and testing at rollout, and trains your staff so they can manage it once it is running. If you need ongoing support, it can be combined with ITSO Lab or remote support.
