About us

We transform digital businesses through intelligent automation

Enterprise companies today use over 1,100 apps in their organizations, with an employee actively working with 36 apps on average, each day. The growth in SaaS, microservices, and APIs has resulted in customer data getting fragmented across all these apps. Meanwhile, IT teams are getting backlogged with integration and automation projects. Both issues are throttling the speed at which digital initiatives can be implemented by an enterprise.

We’re here to fix that by:

Providing a cloud-native, consumer-scale (better than enterprise grade) platform that can handle app, data, API, integrations and process automation.
Enabling IT and business users (like App Admins, Business Analysts, Biz Ops) to build integrations and automations while providing the tools to IT to manage and govern them.
Empowering everyone in the business to have relevant info and better workflows through AI-powered chatbots.

Above all, we are helping companies anticipate new waves of technology, such as machine learning and AI, by enabling them to build and operate integrations and automations faster than ever before.

We have a long history of reimagining integration in anticipation of the future. Before Workato, we did it at TIBCO, Oracle Fusion Middleware, Salesforce and other companies. Now, we are here to reinvent integration once again!

Re-imagining Automation

Workato \ˈwərk-ä(ˌ)tō\

Short for Work Automation.

Intelligent automation fundamentally changes how businesses and individuals work in the breakneck pace of a digital first world. Status quo is no longer acceptable. You need to stay competitive and innovate or you’ll quickly fall behind.

Even in our own business we are not immune to the pressure to innovate faster. That’s why we look to automate everything. We believe that automating throughout the business is critical to growth and we’ve done that internally at Workato - not just to use our own product, but because we genuinely want to spend more time working on things that excite us.

Sometimes businesses don’t know where to start, so we took the time to document most of our automations in a book - something that you can start using yourself right away. These automations have helped us:

Serve over 21,000 organizations across 57 countries
Grow 100% every 6 months
Devote more time to our partnerships with the top SaaS companies

All without the need to grow our headcount at the same rate.
