We use the solution for procure to pay, order to cash, and warehouse management. Essentially, we utilized OCPM model, which facilitated the connection of three distinct processes. By linking these processes, we were able to identify inefficiencies across the entire workflow, spanning from warehousing to account payable and order to cash. The process of connecting these three processes took approximately three months. Subsequently, we achieved a value realization of around 15 million dollars in monetary terms.

What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
Celonis has robust process mining capabilities, conducted thousands of successful implementations across various clients. Currently, Celonis offers not only process mining but also process modeling within its suite of tools. Their approach has evolved from case-centric process mining to OCPM, which represents a different paradigm in the field. This shift to OCPM has been successful for Celonis, allowing for more effective analysis and optimization of processes.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Celonis is known for its stability and scalability. It seamlessly integrates with various tools, including RPA tools, and offers a user-friendly interface, making it easier to use compared to some other products. However, the claim that SAP products have less ability to integrate heterogeneous systems compared to SolarWinds is inaccurate. Both Celonis and SolarWinds have the capability to integrate with a variety of systems, including SAP, Oracle, JD Edwards, and Salesforce. Additionally, both companies provide technical documentation to guide users through the integration process.

How are customer service and support?
We primarily reached out to Celonis when encountering issues or when we needed to activate specific features that we were entitled to but were not enabled by default. In these cases, we contacted Celonis technical or customer support for assistance.
How was the initial setup?
Celonis is simple to use, but OCPM requires a deeper understanding from the business. It can be a bit complicated to use. Overall, the platform is very intuitive. It has aided us in coding and building views in one and a half to two months, making it very user-friendly for us.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Celonis is expensive but it depends on the deals. If Celonis's market strategy is more aligned with providing a lot of discounts, then it's a very complicated pricing strategy. Typically, partners are entitled to some credit points.
What other advice do I have?
The mining capability of Celonis is very mature compared to other products.
Celonis is certified with numerous major compliance verifications. As a tool, it boasts close to 40 certifications, including GDPR, ISO, and COSO. Additionally, it is SOC 2 compliant.
First of all, Celonis is a good tool for process mining. Companies planning to implement Celonis or purchase a license, they need to first determine their strategy for utilizing it. Simply using Celonis as a platform may not yield significant results. To maximize value, they should consider leveraging Celonis' Value Accelerators. If they aim to identify and address inefficiencies, it's essential to quantify them. Celonis can assist in quantifying various inefficiencies and automating processes to mitigate them, resulting in tangible savings. For instance, in a procure-to-pay process, increasing realized cash discounts from five percent to ten percent can lead to substantial savings. Similarly, parameters like accounts receivable turnover can be measured, offering a promising return on investment or license purchase.
Celonis utilizes PIG with AI capabilities to develop Copilot, a tool aimed at providing insightful analysis by interpreting user commands such as querying specific KPIs. This system is efficient in generating alarms on the backend and producing matrices based on user inputs.
Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
