Why Workato is Furthest in Vision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We believe Workato’s innovation supports strong customer outcomes. Leading organizations like Nasdaq, Samsara, Vodafone, Amazon, and Lucid Motors choose Workato to power their most critical operations\u2014and we keep pace by building for their evolving needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our customer outcomes, we feel, are a validation of our ability to execute<\/strong> on this vision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Workato received an overall rating of 4.8 out of 5.0, based on 42 reviews, as of August 31, 2025, in the Gartner\u00ae Peer Insights\u2122 Voice of the Customer for Integration Platform as a Service, and is recommended by 95% of customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next generation of iPaaS: agentic orchestration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n

iPaaS has become the dominant integration platform thanks to its cloud affinity, versatility, and strong enterprise capabilities, and is now the default choice for new integration initiatives. The new major opportunity for vendors is AI, in two ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the short term, by leveraging AI in their iPaaS, they can make it even faster, more productive, and democratized to build integration processes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extending iPaaS capability to address new AI orchestration requirements, such as AI workflows, AI agent orchestration, AI gateways, and composite AI, is the long-term opportunity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that context, support for emerging standards such as MCP provides organizations the opportunity to build a vendor-neutral bridge between the AI world and third-party enterprise systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We believe the future of iPaaS is more than integration\u2014it\u2019s agentic orchestration that brings together systems, people, and AI into a unified, intelligent platform for executing the next generation of intelligent business processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Workato ONE<\/a> is built for exactly this shift. It\u2019s an agentic stack designed to serve as the foundation of your enterprise architecture, bringing automation, integration, and AI into a single, cohesive platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organizations can no longer afford to treat these capabilities as separate, standalone efforts. AI experimentation, integration infrastructure, business process automation, observability, governance, and security must operate as a unified architecture, instead of disconnected initiatives running in parallel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Workato ONE brings it all together through four core enterprise capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
Connect AI agents to your data, apps, and systems, and coordinate how they work alongside existing workflows to execute real business processes.<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

1. Enterprise orchestration<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Connect AI agents to your data, apps, and systems, and coordinate how they work alongside existing workflows to execute real business processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Enterprise context<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Give agents the ability to reason and act within the specific context of your business: your data models, your processes, your policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Enterprise skills<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Empower AI agents (\u201cGenies\u201d) with deterministic, repeatable, and verifiable skills across enterprise applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Enterprise trust<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Wrap it all in security, governance, observability, and reliability. Agentic initiatives can\u2019t succeed without guardrails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how automation approaches like RPA and BPM, as well as integration essentials like iPaaS and API management (APIM<\/a>), fit into the Workato ONE architecture. As you can see, they\u2019re all represented.<\/p>\n\n\n
