Process mining relies on (big) data. With our evolving ETL and database infrastructure and process mining-inspired query language (PQL), we are continuously developing cutting-edge technologies to take advantage of the vast amount of process data and knowledge to deliver value for our customers. In our research projects, we are focusing on building ever more scalable and low latency databases and process mining engines.

The AI team at Celonis (CeloAI) focuses on developing new capabilities and applications to solve advanced use cases and deliver outsized values to our customers. We leverage process intelligence (data and knowledge acquired through process mining and modeling) and combine PI with Machine Learning, Decision Intelligence, and Generative AI to enable new solutions, experiences, and intelligent applications. In our research projects, we are also exploring how Generative AI can potentially disrupt process mining, automation, and many other related areas.
