Celonis says 75% of Germany's top 40 listed firms use its software. Now it offers police a Palantir rival logging every search.
Celonis, the Munich company whose software maps how work moves through a business, announced "Celonis for investigation and security authorities", the German IT weekly Computerwoche reported on 30 October.
Celonis calls it "an open and transparent alternative to opaque applications."
Computerwoche wrote that Palantir's data-analysis software may be effective but is criticised for a lack of transparency in how it collects and analyses data. There is also criticism over its US vendor and that vendor's founder.
"Data analysis and AI should not be a black box, especially not when it comes to public safety," said Bastian Nominacher, Celonis' co-CEO and co-founder.
The software links data from systems the police already run. Celonis says AI agents act only within each officer's permissions and investigators make every decision. Every search and change is logged. Our reading: that audit record is the selling point.
Celonis says German police authorities have demonstrated it on real, anonymised case data. It named no force and gave no contract or price details. Palantir already runs in several German states.
