By 2030, 70% of enterprises will adopt BOAT platforms.
Gartner has defined a new software category that brings process management, integration, robotic automation, low-code development and AI together on a single platform: Business Orchestration and Automation Technologies (BOAT). Today only a small share of organizations have a consolidated platform architecture; according to Gartner's prediction, this picture will be reversed by 2030.

Key capabilities of BOAT platforms
Orchestration
Defines and runs work end to end across people, systems and automations.
Connectivity
Moves data and work from long-established enterprise infrastructure to modern cloud systems.
Fast-Code
Minimizes coding in application and process development.
AI
Reads the process, prepares the decision, triggers the action.

- WorkflowWorkflow and approval management
- BPABusiness process automation
- RPARobotic process automation
- iPaaSIntegration and connectivity
- AI AgentsAI agents
- IntelligenceAnalytics and decision support
Butterfly BOAT brings these seven capabilities together on a single platform, under a single process.
Conductor: Butterfly
The conductor plays no instrument. But the piece moves forward under their direction.
Enterprise ERPs, business applications or software you built yourself: each one is a strong musician in its own right. Butterfly doesn't play in their place; it conducts them, defining in a single score in which order, with whose approval and in which system the work moves forward.
Different technologies work not as patches added later but as parts of the same platform by design. It works alongside your existing systems and replaces them when needed.
AI is the fastest member of the orchestra: it reads the process, prepares the decision and triggers the action. But it plays on the conductor’s cue. Where it should stop and which decisions must go through human approval are written in the score; every recommendation and every approval is recorded.
The number of tools grew. No one is left running the work.
Every team automated its own work. No one manages the whole.
As workflow tools, robots, integrations and AI models were set up one by one, organizations did not get faster. They fragmented.
Procurement set up its own approval tool, IT its own request system, finance its own robots. Each does its job within its own area, but when a process moves from one area to the next, it loses its speed, its owner and its trail. The problem is not a lack of automation. It is that the automations are unaware of each other.
At every handoff, speed, ownership or the trail is lost. Existing tools can stay in place or move to Butterfly; all requests are tracked in a single process, with a single owner.

Competitiveness is no longer measured by how much software you have, but by how well you manage it.
The era of losing time, cash and efficiency in disconnected silos is ending with BOAT architecture. Butterfly unites scattered enterprise structures on a single digital backbone, preparing companies for a more agile, more integrated, AI-powered future.
