Celonis invests in Bloomfilter to boost AI SDLC insights
Celonis has made a financial investment in Bloomfilter as part of a broader effort to enhance the software development lifecycle with process intelligence and artificial intelligence.
This move extends the existing cooperation between the two firms, following the launch of the Celonis for Software Development Lifecycle Management (SDLC) application. The partnership is aimed at supporting organisations looking to address the challenges of timely and cost-effective software delivery, even as artificial intelligence has accelerated code writing.
Software development teams are frequently confronted with issues not in producing code, but in orchestrating processes that ensure projects are completed on time and within budget. Traditional business intelligence tools used for SDLC generally offer limited, isolated insights and are seen as inadequate for the complexity of modern development environments.
Celonis' SDLC application, powered by process intelligence and artificial intelligence, provides companies with continuous monitoring of development processes. The technology flags inefficiencies, identifies root causes of delays or problems, and proposes specific recommendations for improvement. The app is designed to provide transparency into questions such as project deadlines, process effectiveness, risk areas caused by deviations, and ways to utilise data and AI to enhance outcomes.
According to Celonis, one organisation in the network security sector was able to use the application to increase the proportion of successful sprints to 85%, cut stage wait times by 30-40%, and double delivery velocity within a single month. "At Celonis, we are committed to building a robust ecosystem where partners can innovate and thrive on our platform. This investment in Bloomfilter underscores our belief in their groundbreaking work applying Process Intelligence to SDLC and our shared vision that effective enterprise AI is fundamentally reliant on Process Intelligence."
This statement was made by Carsten Thoma, President and Board Director at Celonis.
Erik Severinghaus, co-CEO of Bloomfilter, said the partnership and associated investment are an important step for the company as it seeks to bring process intelligence to bear on the challenges of software delivery. "Process Intelligence is the key to solving the crisis of complexity with Human and AI-powered software development. This strategic investment from Celonis is a powerful validation for Bloomfilter by the world leader in PI. Together, we are enabling agents and to work more effectively, building the software of tomorrow, today."
Allan Jaenicke, Vice President, Global Operations Strategy & Operational Excellence at Waters Corporation, an early user of the Celonis SDLC solution, also welcomed the news: "We chose Celonis for its platform approach, and this investment in Bloomfilter further validates our decision. We are excited to see how our usage of Celonis + Bloomfilter transforms our speed to market and software quality through improving our software development life cycle processes."
The SDLC application from Celonis and Bloomfilter is already being used by early adopters, who report improved insights into their development and delivery processes. The firms indicate that the product is capable of supporting businesses as they navigate both human and AI-powered workflows, providing analysis and recommendations tailored to the requirements and risks of specific projects.
Bloomfilter's approach uses artificial intelligence-driven process mining across the software development lifecycle to identify waste, risk and other inefficiencies. The platform's stated aim is to make software delivery processes more transparent, predictable and efficient for its customers.
The partnership between Celonis and Bloomfilter is focused on integrating more advanced process intelligence into organisations' development cycles, aiming to address persistent pressure points around software project overruns, delays and quality concerns.
