Bridge building
Celonis has announced the acquisition of Darmstadt-based Process Analytics Factory (PAF). Its software PAFnow is a process mining software fully integrated into Microsoft Power BI and Microsoft Office 365 for the analysis, visualization and optimization of almost all processes. The software thus offers Microsoft users easy access to process mining. The Celonis Execution Management System (EMS) combines real-time data and process intelligence in an integrated cloud platform.
Customers who want to gain a comprehensive data-based insight into the real flow of their business processes will in future be able to benefit from the functions of Celonis EMS within their familiar Microsoft environment. The approximately 40 employees of PAF will strengthen the development of solutions for the Microsoft Power Platform at Celonis. Tobias Rother, founder and CEO of PAF, will drive the expansion of the Microsoft Center of Excellence and all Power BI topics within Celonis. Timo Nolle, CTO of PAF, will lead the development of product integration.
