Gartner Magic Quadrant for Business Orchestration and Automation Technologies

Gartner first introduced Business Orchestration and Automation Technology (BOAT) in May 2024, responding to an urgent enterprise need that has since driven rapid market growth. According to Gartner, “By 2030, 70% of enterprises will pivot to a consolidated automation platform that orchestrates business processes, AI agents, bots, APIs and human actions, up from 5% today.”

The Magic Quadrant report explains, “Gartner defines business orchestration and automation technologies (BOAT) as a consolidated software platform that delivers enterprise process automation by enabling capabilities including orchestration of business processes, enterprise connectivity, low code development and agentic automation. A BOAT platform includes a cross section of certain capabilities from different markets such as business process automation (BPA), low-code application platforms (LCAP), integration platform as a service (iPaaS), intelligent document processing (IDP), robotic process automation (RPA), collaborative workflow management and document management.”

The Magic Quadrant evaluated 20 vendors for Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute across multiple criteria, including product or service, overall viability, sales execution/pricing, market responsiveness and track record, meeting execution, customer experience, and operations. The Critical Capabilities report evaluated the same vendors for use cases, including case management, enterprise task and process automation, agentic workflows, and governance.

The Magic Quadrant and Critical Capabilities reports evaluated Pega Infinity^TM, the agentic enterprise transformation platform that helps organizations modernize legacy systems, automate work with AI agents, and boost productivity. They also assessed Pega Blueprint^TM, an AI design agent that instantly turns client goals into agent-driven workflows; Pega Predictable AI^TM, which helps ensure reliable agentic execution; and Pega Agentic Process Fabric^TM, which orchestrates AI agents across platforms and applications to automate work across the enterprise.

Pega’s robotics tools were also included in the reports, including Pega Robot Studio, an AI-powered bot builder, and Pega Robot Runtime, which runs and manages those bots on desktops. Together, these AI and automation capabilities represent a fundamentally different enterprise transformation approach, combining AI’s creative potential and dependable execution for enterprise-grade reliability.

These reports are among Pega's many recent analyst recognitions for its platform capabilities. Recently, Pega was recognized as a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Customer Relationship Management Software, Q1 2025 (3), the Gartner® Magic Quadrant for CRM Customer Engagement Center (CEC) 2024 (4), and The Forrester Wave: Real-Time Interaction Management, Q1 2024 (5), and the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Process Mining Platforms 2025 (6).
