Celonis and NEC begin demonstration experiment linking generative AI “cotomi” and process intelligence
……
Celonis Corporation (Note 1, hereinafter referred to as Celonis) and NEC Corporation (Note 2, hereinafter referred to as NEC) have announced that they will be developing NEC’s generative AI “cotomi (Note 3),” which is fast and has high Japanese language performance, and Celonis, which is the market leader. In May of this year, we became the first Japanese company to begin testing a service that links our process intelligence platform. This demonstration will be part of a strategic partnership agreement (Note 4).
NEC has been conducting functional verification using Celonis’ generative AI and process mining technology since last year. By utilizing generative AI within this program, even employees who do not have specialized knowledge of process mining will be able to utilize the benefits of process mining in real time and analyze business operations using natural Japanese. We have confirmed that it is possible to improve operations such as delays in order management and delays in subsequent operations due to rework.
In this demonstration, we will newly link cotomi and Celonis’ process mining technology, allowing users without process mining expertise to understand business processes through natural language conversations via cotomi without having to read large amounts of text. We will verify that visualization and analysis methods can be obtained in a short time.
Going forward, the two companies will strengthen their partnership and utilize Celonis’ technology and NEC’s generative AI to analyze and transform customers’ business processes.
The comments from both companies regarding this matter are as follows. The strategic partnership between NEC and Celonis continues to deliver significant value to our Japanese customers. By combining NEC’s generative AI and Celonis’ process intelligence, more people will have the opportunity to optimize their processes and accelerate business transformation. We continue to help our customers create positive impact across the top line, bottom line and green line.

In order to grow in a rapidly changing market, companies are promoting operational reforms. This collaboration between Celonis’ process intelligence and generative AI “cotomi” developed by NEC, which has high speed and high Japanese language performance, will enable companies to provide advanced consulting services that speed up decision-making and improve analytical accessibility. I’ll make it. We believe that this will contribute to the realization of high-quality business reforms in a short period of time. We are already
implementing this within NEC, and we are confident that we can pass on the results and know-how to our customers. NEC will collaborate with Celonis to create data-driven, speedy, and objective suggestions and improvements to support customers’ business reforms and breakthroughs.
