The State of Oklahoma has revealed impressive results from the first year of its partnership with Celonis, the global leader in Process Mining and Process Intelligence. By implementing the Celonis Process Intelligence platform, Oklahoma has generated more than $10 million in value, establishing a new standard for public sector innovation in the United States.
Key Points:
- Oklahoma is the first U.S. state to implement Celonis technology (2023)
- Deployment includes AI Copilot to simplify process insights for procurement specialists
- Platform identified $8.48 billion in statutory exempt purchases by agencies
- Flagged $190 million in purchase card transactions
- Reduced processing time from years to minutes for procurement data review
The state has deployed an AI Copilot to enhance access to process insights for procurement specialists and leadership, focusing on flagged and exempt purchase orders. This implementation has yielded direct financial savings and efficiency improvements, allowing Oklahoma to redirect resources to essential public services.
“As the first U.S. state to implement Celonis in 2023, Oklahoma has taken bold steps to modernize its operations and strengthen its stewardship of taxpayer funds,” said Rick Rose, state chief operating officer and director of the Oklahoma Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES).
“Previously, processing this amount of data would be time-consuming and expensive, requiring us to contract more than 45 people,” explained Janet Morrow, director of OMES Risk, Assessment and Compliance. “Now we can do much more in a significantly shorter timeframe, saving thousands of hours in manual labor and tens of thousands of tax dollars in wages.”
Building on this success, Oklahoma plans to expand its use of Celonis to further streamline operations and ensure accountability in the use of taxpayer funds across additional agencies and functions.
