UiPath, a global leader in business orchestration and automation, today announced its recognition as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Business Orchestration and Automation Technology. Enterprise automation is in the midst of one of the most significant shifts since the rise of robotic process automation, graduating from task-level automation to full business orchestration. As organizations race to deploy AI agents at scale, success will not depend on the best models or technology solutions. Instead, it's the orchestration layer unifying and coordinating AI agents, robots, legacy systems, and people under a single, governed system.
UiPath recognized as a Leader in Gartner Magic Quadrant for Business Orchestration and Automation Technology
Enterprise automation shifting from task-level automation to full business orchestration
UiPath Platform built around three key needs for modern agentic enterprise
Process authority includes deterministic workflows, adaptive case management, and agentic decisions
Open and extensible ecosystem executes across APIs, MCP, AI agents, legacy UIs, and code
Enterprise governance provides runtime guardrails, auditability, and policy enforcement
The UiPath Platform is a business orchestration and automation platform built around three key needs for the modern agentic enterprise:
Process authority: Comprised of deterministic workflows, adaptive case management, and agentic decisions, allowing organizations to coordinate the entire process rather than automate a single task.
Open and extensible ecosystem: Designed to execute across modern APIs, services connected through Model Context Protocol, AI agents, legacy user interfaces, mainframes, human work, and code, allowing customers to change models and tools without rebuilding the process around them.
Enterprise governance: Provides governance across humans, agents, and systems, with runtime guardrails, auditability, policy enforcement, and visibility into outcomes.
"AI agents are moving from experimentation to execution, but intelligence alone isn't enough," said Daniel Dines, CEO, UiPath. "AI agents don't create value in isolation, they create value when they're orchestrated. Enterprises need orchestration to make that intelligence safe, governed, and productive at scale. That's the promise of BOAT, and we believe our recognition in the report reflects the trust customers have placed in our vision to deliver it."
Gartner defines business orchestration and automation technologies as a consolidated software platform that orchestrates and automates disparate business processes and tasks with varying degrees of autonomy and complexity across enterprise systems. A BOAT platform must provide native capabilities for AI agents' orchestration and governance and multiagent coordination. It must leverage a combination of native connectivity methods, such as model context protocol, API and UI interactions, enabling secure, end-to-end enterprise agentic process automation across diverse execution environments.
