Celonis Process Sphere: Revolutionizing Process Mining with Object-Centric Approach

Celonis Process Sphere™ is reshaping process mining by embracing Object-Centric Process Mining (OCPM), offering a comprehensive, interconnected view of business operations.

Object-centric process mining (OCPM) has emerged as a game-changer in the field, overcoming the limitations of traditional techniques. Celonis, at Celosphere 2022, introduced Process Sphere™, a groundbreaking capability within Celonis EMS, embracing OCPM. Prof. Wil van der Aalst, Chief Scientist at Celonis, hails OCPM as a significant step forward.

Traditional process mining faces limitations like repetitive data extraction, neglecting object interactions, and rendering 3D reality into 2D event logs. Real-world processes involve multiple interconnected objects, each impacting different departments. OCPM captures these complex relationships and provides a 3D view.

Traditional process mining demands repetitive data extraction, causing pain and delays. It overlooks object interactions, hindering complete process transparency. Moreover, it flattens 3D reality into 2D event logs and models, leading to convergence and divergence issues.

Object-centric process mining (OCPM) addresses these issues. OCPM uses object-centric event logs (OCEL), allowing events to relate to multiple objects. It captures one-to-many and many-to-many relationships between objects, providing a comprehensive view of interconnected processes.

OCPM offers several benefits over traditional process mining, including single data extraction, capturing object interactions, and generating 3D event logs and models for deeper insights into business operations.

Celonis Process Sphere™ is the pioneer in embracing OCPM within its EMS. Process Sphere offers a more complete picture of end-to-end processes by visualizing complex relationships between objects and events. Users can now analyze interconnected processes, such as how product issues affect sales order fulfillment, using a simplified 'subway' map view. Process Sphere accelerates time-to-insight with embedded process analytics.

Celonis Process Sphere represents a monumental shift, allowing process data to be viewed as real-world objects and their relationships. This innovation opens new possibilities for customers to interact and harness their data more effectively, making it akin to transitioning from an X-ray to an MRI for businesses.
