The Forbes Cloud 100 evaluates companies across four key criteria: market leadership (35%), estimated valuation (30%), operating metrics (20%), and people & culture (15%). Celonis’ consistent top-tier ranking reflects its sustained market relevance and innovation in process intelligence. Richard Nieva, Forbes editor of the Cloud 100, noted, “This year’s standouts are among the most impressive we’ve ever seen, highlighting the massive sea change that AI has brought to the enterprise.” Elliott Robinson, partner at Bessemer Venture Partners, added, “The cloud is in a period of rapid, AI-driven transformation, with this year’s cohort demonstrating how AI is fundamentally reshaping how the best cloud companies grow, scale, and compete.”
Celonis’ climb to No. 12 follows its No. 13 ranking on the 2024 Forbes Cloud 100, where it was recognized for its AI-powered Process Intelligence platform. The company’s recent milestones include a partnership with the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad, to launch India’s first process intelligence research center, and FedRAMP authorization to handle sensitive U.S. federal government data. These achievements highlight Celonis’ global expansion and growing relevance in public and private sectors.
