## The use case: how Novo Nordisk deploys Celonis

Novo built a digital twin of its clinical trials application process in Celonis and uses it to power a fleet of AI agents that automate regulated clinical development workflows. It also uses Celonis to diagnose whether problems stem from people, process or technology, and to validate KPIs for new software implementations.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Celonis and Novo Nordisk, not ours.

> The digital twin provided the granular clarity Novo was missing. Bova’s team can now understand overall cycle times and dive into the hidden variables that drive trial success.

- **100+**: “The team is now orchestrating a fleet of 100+ Celonis-powered AI agents”

> Without Process Intelligence, Enterprise AI at scale is hopeful thinking.
