ServiceNow: Established a strategic partnership with Celonis to redefine workflow

ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW) and Celonis today announced the establishment of a strategic partnership to help companies maximize the impact and return on their digital transformation investments, which is a necessary condition for thriving in the new world of work. The partnership combines ServiceNow’s leading low-code workflow platform with the real-time process execution capabilities of Celonis Execution Management System (EMS). ServiceNow also intends to make a financial investment in Celonis.

The two companies will jointly provide solutions to help customers identify and prioritize processes suitable for automation, and then create digital workflows to optimize these processes to achieve more seamless digital operations. Together, ServiceNow and Celonis will help customers gain a deeper understanding of how work moves across the enterprise, and apply these insights to accelerate digital innovation and predict how to improve work.

ServiceNow CEO Bill McDermott said: “As business leaders face the life and death moments of profoundly developing their business models and accelerating digital transformation, an explosion of innovation is underway.” “ServiceNow and Celonis are joining forces to help the company. Freeing the business from decades of process bottlenecks, integration challenges, and labor setbacks. The workflow revolution has arrived, and we are leading this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make everyone work better.”

Celonis co-CEO and co-founder Alex Rinke said: “We believe that the winners of digital innovation will be companies that apply data to all aspects of business execution.” “This partnership with ServiceNow, the gold standard for global digital workflows Highlights the importance of data to the enterprise software revolution. We are building Celonis as the most innovative and trustworthy partner in every leader, team and organization, using data execution to transform and strengthen their business.”

“Celonis and ServiceNow are leaders in their respective fields, and we are very excited about the business process opportunities they will open together,” said Dr. Matthias Egelhaaf, Director of Digital Solutions at Siemens GBS. “At Siemens GBS, we are the pioneers in the application of Celonis. We have seen positive results in our process and we look forward to experiencing the benefits of ServiceNow and Celonis together.”

According to Gartner®, the software market supporting hyper-automation will reach nearly $860 billion by 2025¹But many companies do not maximize the value of their digital investments because they lack an in-depth understanding of how outdated processes hinder business operations. To apply automation that really drives development, organizations need to understand how work flows between people, processes, and systems. ServiceNow and Celonis will help customers map these elements in real time and then build digital workflows to automate their work more effectively.

Customers will be able to quickly identify process bottlenecks and automate solutions to help increase customer satisfaction, drive revenue growth, and improve cash flow and operating profit margins. By integrating data execution, automation, machine learning, process mining, robotic process automation, and low-code application development on Now Platform and Celonis EMS, customers will gain the real-time insights needed to quickly and continuously improve their workflows.

The two companies plan to provide a joint solution in the first half of 2022.

ServiceNow and Celonis agreed in principle to form a strategic listing relationship, including mutual investment, joint development, marketing and sales. In addition, Celonis plans to adopt ServiceNow for IT and employee engagement. ServiceNow has used Celonis’ process mining capabilities to identify process constraints in internal finance and sales functions.

More information about the partnership can be found on the ServiceNow and Celonis blogs. The two companies will share more information about the partnership during the 2021 Celonis North American Tour on Wednesday, October 6, 2021 at 10 am Pacific Time.
