CELONIS
An enabler of agility
Stefan Lassak is an explorer at heart. His travels through diverse countries and cultures remind him there are always different, unexpected ways to see things — a mindset he brought to his role leading process and system changes in the finance organization at the data & process intelligence company Celonis. Lassak helped Celonis scale rapidly and build a solid foundation for future growth by exploring innovations that built a solid base technological system and organized teams to work effectively in the system. For Lassak, building that system meant implementing technology that required as little human interaction as possible so employees could focus on driving value and keep customers front and center.

“Success means our department is seen as an enabler and not as a showstopper. We want to be a department that people like to work with, and they say, ‘Okay, this team has got our back’ — instead of a department where everyone says, ‘Oh no, finance is blocking us again.’”

ACCELERATE CHANGE
The leading edge
“Modern business means being at the forefront of innovation when it comes to tools, systems, and processes — always using the most up-to-date technologies to innovate both internally with our processes and externally with our customers.”

“Zuora is truly an end-to-end, fully integrated system. Any change you make, whether to CPQ, billing, or revenue, integrates seamlessly between the different parts of the system. It flows into the entire system so we don’t have massive integration or maintenance work.”
Freedom to grow
As Lassak and his team worked to rapidly scale, they realized their old system had deficiencies in reporting, subscription management, and general process execution — deficiencies that were keeping them from experimenting with new business and pricing models. They set out to rebuild their order-to-cash system from scratch with Zuora as a foundation. Zuora empowers them to deliver on customer touchpoints, analyze for growth, and operationalize any changes almost instantaneously. And when Celonis needed to implement a new consumption-based business model, they found native support for the features they required right within the Zuora solution. Now, Celonis is structuring better deals, entering new markets, and meeting customer needs at every stage of the buying process.
