About The Customer
Celonis is a pioneer and global leader in process mining, enabling customers to optimize their business processes by running them entirely on data and intelligence. Powered by its leading process mining technology, Celonis provides a unique set of capabilities for business executives and users to continuously find improvement opportunities within and across processes, and execute targeted actions to rapidly enhance process performance. These processes span across supply chain, finance, and customer service but also, increasingly, industry-specific processes such as shop-floor manufacturing, claims processing, and trade settlements. This process optimization yields immediate cash impact, radically improves customer experience, and reduces carbon emissions. Celonis has thousands of implementations with global customers. One of Celonis’ core values is ‘Earth is our future,’ and in early 2023, it announced an intention to set near and long-term targets in line with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Net-Zero Standard. Celonis also offers a suite of sustainability-focused solutions that guide companies to reduce process inefficiencies and decarbonize their supply chains. The company has over 3,000 employees and a global footprint with headquarters in Munich and NYC, and over 20 offices worldwide.
The Challenge
With its business thriving, Celonis saw its operations and headcount expand rapidly in recent years. In line with the company’s values, it was a key priority for the company to set and meet clear sustainability goals. Celonis had already measured its carbon footprint in the past, but saw room for improvement in the data quality of material emission categories. The previous footprint did not provide the required data accuracy to derive measurable reduction measures in the major Scope 3 emission categories.
The Solution
Celonis worked with Watershed to re-measure its footprint and the data proved to be well-suited to drive actions for the sustainability team. In particular, Celonis benefitted from easy data collection, which reduced the time to complete the assessment of their footprint. Watershed provided templates for intuitive data collection, making it clear what data was required and what to do if data was missing. The steering committee could easily track progress across multiple data owners. Additionally, Watershed offered more specific emissions factors, allowing Celonis to assess GHG emissions per supplier in the scope 3 emission category of 'purchased goods and services'. An interactive platform was also provided to visualize reductions, enabling Celonis to drill down into emission sources such as electricity, heating, or their company fleet. The platform allowed them to see information per country and office location, as well as the current share of renewable electricity. This granularity in data helped earn trust and motivated colleagues to act, knowing that changes would be reflected in the next footprint.

SET Creative Ditches Google Vault for Datto Backupify
When Kienholz first started at SET, the staff was using Microsoft Outlook for email with no form of data backup. It became apparent that something needed to change as the staff was often burdened with trying to recover emails from departed employees. Kienholz transitioned the team to Google’s Gmail and implemented Google Vault for backup purposes. While SET employees quickly adjusted to Gmail, which many use for personal email, the same could not be said for Google Vault. “Unlike most Google products, Vault was not user friendly at all. It’s very hard to search for items. We never really figured out how to do a restore either,” explained Kienholz. Due to SET’s work with high-profile brands, projects often go through many rounds of revisions right down to the eleventh hour. This means that every bit of information - especially data living in project managers’ emails - is crucial to delivering clients a polished design at deadline.

Sawback IT and Datto Save Client From a Costly Mistake
Ballistic Echo, a software development house, faced a critical challenge when human error led to the deletion of thousands of lines of unique code. This incident occurred before the code was pushed to source control, resulting in significant loss of time, revenue, and work. The previous file-level backup solution they used was slow and inefficient, making it nearly impossible to manually recreate the lost work. The need for a more reliable and efficient business continuity solution became evident to avoid such disasters in the future.

Zapier Aggregates Multiple Analytics in a Single Dashboard with the New Relic Platform
Zapier, a company that enables non-technical users to push data between hundreds of web applications, was facing a challenge in automating and provisioning servers for optimal performance. The company's environment consisted of 50 Linux servers on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), a Django application split across several servers, and a backend consisting of a dynamic number of celery task workers fed by messages published to a RabbitMQ cluster. They also maintained a number of internal web services on nginx in front of Gunicorn and Node.js processes. Redis handled simple key and value stores, with logging handled by Graylog2 and ElasticSearch. However, they realized that no level of automation would be sufficient without an effective monitoring solution in place. They needed a tool that could provide immediate alerts when something was breaking and could be easily implemented into their environment.
