Since the inception of the year-old partnership, IBM has delivered greater flexibility and choice in how their clients deploy intelligent workflows and it’s changing the way value is delivered to enterprise clients.
The partnership is critical for both companies. For IBM, who is looking to set the agenda for data-driven consulting and move clients to value faster, embedding Celonis, has advanced both causes. For Celonis, IBM Consulting can introduce their platform as well as process mining, automation and execution management. Together, they aim to develop industry specific applications for multiple use cases including supply chain, procurement and accounts payable and accounts receivable.
IBM initially set out to certify 2,000 consultants on Celonis and will hit that mark ahead of schedule. While it's early in the IBM Celonis partnership, the companies are already making great strides:
- IBM consultants are using Celonis to shorten time to value for clients
- Celonis and IBM experts are working closely together to develop strategic finance transformation solutions for clients
- The two companies are leveraging process mining and execution management across multiple industries, including finance and supply chain.
- Consultants are seeing Celonis as a way to advance client returns and impact talent transformation
As it turns out, several IBM consultants have recently shed light into the client outcomes they’re delivering and the value they’re uncovering by embedding Celonis into their workstreams and engagements.
Scott Kim, a category manager for IBM Consulting said Celonis has given his clients "an opportunity to fix problems they never knew existed. Process innovation provides such an improvement opportunity and the data gives you a lot of ideas for initiatives and developing key performance indicators (KPIs)," he added.
