PwC partnership with Celonis PwC works with Celonis which is a data processing company which sells Softwareas-a-Service ( SaaS ) to improve business processes . The Celonis Execution Management System provides companies a modern way to run their business processes entirely on data and intelligence . They pioneered the process mining category 10 years ago when they first developed the ability to automatically X-ray processes and find inefficiencies .
“ Working with Celonis helps us to explain to our clients where they should invest and why ,” commented Lemasson . “ It ’ s a factbased approach that gives the right level of trust about the system , but also gives the client the best way to manage the changes they need to apply at a company level . So working with Celonis helps our client to make the right decision .
“ We design what a process should be according to the best practice , for whatever the function is from the HR function , treasury . engineering or transportation . Then we rework this with the clients on the gap between the current process and what should be the process with the clients so we can improve a department ' s efficiency by up to 30 % - depending on their budgets .”
As PwC moves forward as a technologyled company is focusing on breaking down the silos within industry . “ Data is a key enabler that can help our clients to identify the potential of new productivity or a new manner of working both internally or with their own suppliers and their partners to become more profitable ,” said Lemasson .
As Lemasson stressed “ data is the new oil ” which now looks set to fuel the ambitions for many of the clients at PwC .
