Horváth and Celonis are joining forces to combine strategic transformation expertise with data-driven process transparency, helping organizations uncover operational inefficiencies and steer transformation based on facts and data
Management Management consultancy Horváth and Celonis, the global market leader in process intelligence, are combining their capabilities through a new partnership to support organizations holistically in the digital transformation of their business processes. The focus is on integrating data-driven process transparency with strategic transformation expertise to address the core challenges many transformation initiatives face. Initial joint client projects are already underway.
Consulting expertise meets process intelligence
Horváth brings deep industry expertise and many years of transformation experience to the partnership. Celonis provides the data-driven foundation required to strategically redesign target processes and anchor them within the organization. The Celonis Process Intelligence Platform connects data from diverse IT systems, applications, and end devices with an organization’s specific business context, creating a real-time digital twin of actual operations. This enables organizations to gain a fact-based understanding of how their processes run, where bottlenecks occur, and where optimization potential exists.
Creating value for clients
“Today, companies face a paradox: they have more data than ever before, yet they are unable to fully leverage it because they lack transparency into the operational reality of their processes,” explains Helmut Ahr, CEO of Horváth AG. “We see the consequences in many projects: isolated process optimizations with limited overall impact, followed by investments in AI and automation that fail to deliver measurable value. By combining Celonis' process intelligence with our transformation and industry expertise, we create the foundation to anchor AI and automation initiatives where they demonstrably deliver the greatest impact.”
This is precisely where the Horváth and Celonis partnership comes in: Process intelligence provides fact-based insights into where operational weaknesses exist and which cost potentials remain untapped. Building on this, Horváth helps organizations strategically optimize processes, digitize them in a targeted way, scale the use of AI, and make it manageable over the long term.
“The combination of reliable, AI-driven process analysis, optimization, and orchestration, together with strong consulting expertise, provides the foundation for successful transformation,” says Florian Schewior, Managing Director DACH at Celonis. This is exactly what the partnership delivers: while Celonis provides the technological backbone, Horváth supports organizations in deriving the right strategic decisions and executing them with a high level of quality.
