The Celonis Intelligent Business Cloud (IBC) is the first transformation platform developed from the ground up specifically for the cloud. It allows you to utilize all benefits of a full cloud platform on a multi-tenant architecture, but keep the data in your local on-premise systems as well. By default, the IBC provides enterprise-class security without the additional effort, complexity and management that traditional solutions require. And the combination of on-premise extractor technology and the leave-in-place deployment allows you to decide which setup fits best for your IT infrastructure and allows you to maintain full data governance over your IT landscape. This session will introduce you to the different scenarios available with the IBC and help you decide which might be best for your next transformation project.

Deployment Overview
All three deployment scenarios have benefits and disadvantages. The standard deployment is the best end-to-end
offering we can provide with the IBC where all parts are as perfectly integrated as possible and where no hidden costs
and effort for infrastructure management and maintenance will affect your projects.
