We Are Celonis
We believe that when processes work…
People are more fulfilled and less frustrated. Companies become more productive, more efficient, and more sustainable. And the planet thrives as we cut down waste and emissions. For all that to happen, we need to connect everyone with a shared understanding of how businesses run and how to improve them. That’s why we created the Celonis Process Intelligence Platform.
Let’s make processes work for people, companies, and the planet.
