Eugenio Cassiano, EVP Corporate Strategy and Innovation at Celonis, said: "We are honored to be recognized again this year, and to support our customers' continued success. To make enterprise AI work, organizations need more than data and models: they need a true Business Operating Model, the connected map of how work actually flows across people, systems, and processes. Celonis's unique technology, rooted in process mining, gives AI agents exactly that: not a snapshot of isolated tasks, but the process relationships and causal connections across the entire value chain, so agents understand not just what is happening, but why, and how to make it run better. That relational depth is what separates us from classical analytics, and it is exactly what Everest Group's recognition affirms: superior capabilities, continuous innovation, and the ability to drive meaningful value for our customers."
“Celonis has reinforced its position as a Leader on Everest Group’s Process Mining Products PEAK Matrix® 2026, driven by its strong vision, advanced product capabilities, and robust partnership ecosystem,” said Amardeep Modi, Vice President at Everest Group. “Continued investments in innovative capabilities such as a context layer for enterprise AI, MCP server, data integration, decision intelligence, and process copilot have strengthened its market position. Clients highlighted Celonis’ innovation agility, deployment speed, robustness of the tool, product training, and customer service as key strengths.”
The company continues to hold a Leader position in Everest Group’s PEAK Matrix® Assessment due to its speed of innovation and deployment, robustness of the platform, and excellent customer service. Everest Group also called out Celonis’ investments in AI-based and OCPM capabilities, strong partnerships with technology providers, and a commitment to responsible AI.
For 15 years, Celonis has pioneered Process Mining’s technical advancement and enterprise application. The company’s unique process mining capabilities are used by the Celonis Context Model to create a process-centric digital twin of an organization. The Context Model integrates process data, business knowledge, and decision intelligence (enhanced by the acquisition of Ikigai Labs). It powers the Celonis Platform and gives AI agents operational clarity, so they understand the past, present, and future of business operations and can reason correctly, decide sensibly, and act reliably.
In addition to the Context Model, Celonis announced multiple innovations that provide Enterprise AI the context it needs to succeed at the recent Celonis:NEXT event. The enhanced Celonis Data Core powers the Context Model at scale by delivering rapid performance across billions of records. Zero-copy bi-directional integrations with platforms including Amazon S3, Databricks, and Microsoft Fabric eliminate data silos while maintaining security and governance. Celonis Networks, now being used by more than 100 customers, extends operational context beyond organizational walls. Celonis Industry Suites shorten time-to-value across complex value chains. Agent Toolkit has been expanded, allowing external agents built on platforms like Microsoft Copilot Studio, Amazon Bedrock, and Databricks Agent Bricks to access operational context. And through partnerships with Oracle and Microsoft, companies can scale agentic workflows with confidence, grounded in Celonis Context, across the enterprise.
Using Celonis, customers have collectively realized about $11 billion in value to date. Learn more about how these companies are generating meaningful, repeatable value with our unique technology.
Background of Everest Group’s PEAK Matrix® Research
Everest Group defines process mining as a type of analytics product that involves a fact-based approach to help discover, monitor, and optimize as-is processes by analyzing process-related information primarily from event logs generated by enterprise systems (e.g., ERP, CRM, etc.). The technology provides a data-based approach to process optimization through numerous applications and use cases spanning industries and process areas. This has led to process mining being and continuing to be one of the fastest growing markets in the Intelligent Automation (IA) space.
Adoption of process mining not only helps enterprises achieve traditional benefits such as cost savings and operational efficiency, but also opens avenues to target business/strategic outcomes such as top-line growth, accelerated digital transformation, enhanced customer experience, and sustainability. In order to support the enterprise objectives, products are rapidly evolving in the sophistication of their capabilities, features, and functionalities.
