One platform for process orchestration, enterprise connectivity, and intelligent automation. Defined by Gartner.
BPM, iPaaS, RPA-class automation, and low-code, all consolidated. Butterfly is a purpose-built BOAT platform for the enterprise.
The last decade of enterprise technology produced fragmented automation. ERP, CRM, RPA, integration middleware, and recently GenAI were each added as isolated layers. Uncoordinated tools operating in silos, with no orchestration layer connecting them.
Gartner's BOAT definition addresses this structurally. A BOAT platform is not a better RPA tool or a smarter BPM engine. It is the execution backbone that orchestrates bots, AI agents, APIs, microservices, and human workflows within a single, governed environment.
The category went from concept to formal market in 18 months. Enterprises that consolidate early will set the standard for how the next decade of automation runs.
"By 2030, 70% of enterprises will pivot to a consolidated automation platform that orchestrates business processes, AI agents, bots, APIs and human actions."
