Celonis to kick off Global Ecosystem Hackathon

Celonis is holding its first Global Ecosystem Hackathon June 24 with a virtual event where partners will gather in teams from around the world to create Execution App use cases that will help companies tackle their most pressing business transformation challenges and empower them to reach new levels of performance.

Partners will choose from these exemplary use cases:

Sustainability How can customers achieve their ambitious ESG goals by embedding sustainability into the DNA of their business processes?

Supply Chain Connect the dynamic pillars of an organization's supply chain network and break through today's global challenges.

Financial Services Develop a framework for financial institutions to regulate compliance requirements for their customers through the KYC process and digitize the review processes.

Customer Service Help businesses grow their customer experience through digital transformation and unlock the path for growth and success.

Partners have until June 10 to reserve spots for their teams.

With a week to go before the hackathon there are more than 26 confirmed teams participating from North America, Europe and APAC. IBM and Infosys entered four teams each and Accenture and Deloitte entered three teams each. Other teams from Apolix, Birlasoft, Cognitio, Convista, ESG, FirstSource, KPMG, Minsait, NTT Data, Oficomco, Ontraak and WNS are also entered to compete in the hackathon.

The goal for the hackathon is to outline a new use case and a solution. On June 29, a panel of Celonis leaders will judge the entries on creativity, impact and best overall solution. Winners will have the chance to donate to a charity of their choice, receive unique opportunities to share their story to Celonis customers, receive freebie credit for App Developer certification course,  dedicated support to build out their solution in Celonis Studio and be featured in the Ecosystem Marketplace.
