Celonis expands startup ecosystem around Celonis EMS

Besides the ongoing trend of consulting firms leveraging the Celonis technology to improve their services, Celonis is seeing an acceleration in new startups being founded around highly specialized verticalized or horizontal Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) products built on the Celonis Execution Management System (EMS).

EMS is the world leading platform to access and interact with enterprise data, enabling a quick start into endless vertical and/or horizontal use cases along business processes. New Ventures leverage EMS to build domain products in a highly predictable way, speeding up time-to-market, decreasing overall development costs and lowering risk. 

With 200 Assets already created by our Service Partners, the EMS is the leading platform for process specific vertical / horizontal use-case Domain Products. Typical industry specific Products are built in Financial Services, Life Science, Manufacturing, Higher Education and process specific Products in Logistics, HR, Supply Chain or Production.

Most of these startups have used the Celonis EMS for services engagements and then evolved to offer tailored SaaS products geared toward specific business problems.

• Celonis for Consulting Program to seamlessly bundle the startups’ vertical or horizontal EMS Domain Products with Services to solve specific business problems
