Celonis growth playbook

Diagnosis

Celonis is hiring to grow through partners and industries: a marketer dedicated to the new Oracle alliance, a field marketer for consumer and life sciences, a PMM for the CIO narrative and OpenAI, Microsoft and Oracle, Scale consultants for 1:N programs and partnership leads for AI, Databricks and Japan.

The site is rich, but the Oracle page lacks named Oracle proof and links to a dead scanner page, the homepage loads a 13.9 MB video and fails real-visitor loading, and a partner page still uses old product names.

This playbook builds Oracle proof and a seller brief first, speeds up the homepage, and adds industry kits, reference architectures, readiness tools and a scan sold through Oracle.

Growth Score

7/10

Biggest Opportunity

Turn the Oracle alliance into a repeatable, proof-backed scan that Oracle's sellers can bring into Fusion migrations.

Biggest Risk

SAP Signavio, IBM, UiPath and others now use the same process intelligence language, so unclear proof and slow pages give buyers less reason to pick Celonis.

01

Start here

The three moves to make first. Each one is written up in full below.

  1. 1

    Give the Oracle page proof that matches its promise: a named Fusion migration story and a working value scan

    Ask sales which Oracle migration customers would agree to be named.

Quick wins with a clear first action.

  • 01

    The new Oracle partner marketer is "100% dedicated" to what Celonis calls one of its highest-priority global alliances. The Oracle page promises to de-risk moves from EBS, JD Edwards and PeopleSoft to Fusion Cloud and cites "8,000+ migration hours saved", 12,000 Oracle sellers and 450,000 Oracle customers. But the proof underneath is thin: of three customer quotes, Cisco and Orange do not mention Oracle, and the only Oracle quote is from an unnamed "Global non-profit". None of the 97 English customer stories is an Oracle migration (SAP transformations have Harman and Florida Crystals). And the "Oracle Value Scanner" event page in the sitemap returns "Page not found".

    Smallest test

    Redirect the dead Value Scanner URL today and add the worked example of the 8,000 hours this week.

    Why it works

    Publish two named Oracle migration stories (or one named and one anonymised with numbers), turn the 8,000 hours into a worked example (customizations found, retired, hours saved), and package the scan as a clear offer on the Oracle page: "Fusion migration readiness scan: what we look at, what you get, how long it takes", with a sample output. Redirect the dead Value Scanner URL to the live demo page, and replace the Cisco and Orange quotes with Oracle-specific ones.

    An Oracle customer weighing a Fusion move needs to see someone like them who did it with Celonis. Proof and a concrete first step turn the page from a partnership announcement into a pipeline page, and they give Oracle's sellers something to forward.

    Why it works

    Replace the MP4 with a poster image and stream a compressed video only on click or after load, serve it at mobile size, cache the HTML at the edge, and preload the headline font. Re-test with PageSpeed and watch field data for 28 days.

    Faster pages convert better and rank better, and enterprise buyers often browse on mobile between meetings.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Brand team wants the motion

      Keep it, but load it after the headline.

    Evidence

    • Google PageSpeedHomepage: real visitors fail Core Web Vitals on loading (LCP 5.1s at the 75th percentile on this page, against a 2.5s limit; the whole site is at 3.0s), while responsiveness (INP 170ms) and layout (CLS 0.05) pass; server response for real visitors is 1.2s.

  • 03

    The new PMM owns technology partner positioning for OpenAI, Microsoft and Oracle. The Microsoft partner page's description still says "The EMS works with Microsoft Dynamics", Celonis's old Execution Management System name, and the page promotes "Power Virtual Agents", while the homepage now sells the Context Model and Enterprise AI.

    Smallest test

    Fix the description and resubmit the page in Search Console.

    Why it works

    Rewrite the Microsoft page around the Context Model for Copilot and agent workflows, with the Uniper story from the homepage, current product names and one clear call to action. Check every partner page for old names the same way.

    Search results and AI answers quote page descriptions; old names make the partnership look dated next to the Databricks page.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Partner sign-off

      Keep claims to published integrations.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteMicrosoft partner page: the meta description still says "The EMS works with Microsoft Dynamics" (Celonis's former Execution Management System name) and the page promotes "Power Virtual Agents"; the Databricks page shows "Partner of the Year 2026" and "Up to 10x" pipeline performance via Delta Sharing.Source

    The homepage declares no page language and has no favicon, and the free sign-up link uses http:// rather than https://. The sitemap lists a dead Oracle event page, a test page and 19 internal page fragments.

    Publish three anonymised numbers on the Oracle page.

    Why it works

    Publish an anonymised benchmark: customizations per estate, share unused, common process variants, hours saved per retired customization. Offer each prospect their own comparison through the scan.

    A benchmark turns the scan into something a CIO can compare against before talking to sales.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Too few scans for a benchmark

      Start with ranges and grow the sample.

    Run it as a form at one CIO event.

    Why it works

    Add a ten-question readiness check (ERP landscape, customization, AI pilots, process ownership) that returns a score, peer comparison and the matching Celonis story, with an offer for a value session.

    CIOs engage with tools that tell them where they stand; it also qualifies leads for sales.

    Smallest test

    Publish one SI page.

    Why it works

    Create a Japanese page per SI partner with joint offers, a Japanese customer story and a joint contact route, and use the Fujitsu story as the first example.

    Japanese enterprises buy through SIs; co-branded local pages make the partnership tangible.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • SI approval cycles

      Start with one partner.

    Sell five scans at a fixed price.

    Why it works

    Package the scan as a fixed-price, fixed-duration offer with a standard report, deliverable by Celonis or certified partners, and available through Oracle's channels. Convert scans into platform subscriptions.

    A low-risk entry offer shortens enterprise cycles and scales through partners.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Delivery quality through partners

      Certify and review early scans.

    Why it works

    Publish a yearly report: process variation by function and industry, automation rates, where agents fail for lack of context, with anonymised data. Launch with analysts and partners.

How Programmable can help

Where an idea in this playbook is something Programmable builds or runs, it's listed here with what we'd do. Everything else is yours to run.

ProgrammableTalk

Fill the events in this plan

These ideas are events. Talk gets registrants for them and tells you who's coming and what their company does before the day.

Plan an event (opens programmable.talk in a new tab)
ProgrammableDigital

Show it, don't just describe it

These ideas need something to show: a demo, a video, an animation, graphics or a deck. Digital turns screenshots or the site into all of them, in the company's own brand.

Make a demo (opens programmable.digital in a new tab)

Customers

What customers say

Customers value seeing how processes really run. The most cited problem: risky ERP migrations.

  • Measured value such as captured discounts and fewer duplicate payments
  • AI pilots that do not scale
  • In their words: “process intelligence”

Market

Competitive landscape

4 competitors compared: SAP Signavio, IBM Process Mining, UiPath Process Intelligence and Apromore.

  • Gap to exploit: Named proof for Oracle Fusion migrations
  • SAP Signavio: SAP-centric
  • IBM Process Mining: Smaller process mining focus
