NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- UiPath (NYSE: PATH), 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 (BOAT). A complimentary copy of this research report is available here.

Enterprise automation is in the midst of one of the most significant shifts since the rise of robotic process automation (RPA), 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. This enables enterprises to manage their most complex processes end-to-end rather than automating isolated steps, safely, reliably, and at speed.

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 (MCP), AI agents, legacy user interfaces (UIs), 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 (BOAT) 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.

Key Terms

boat technical

A boat is a watercraft designed to carry people or cargo on rivers, lakes or seas, ranging from small recreational vessels to larger commercial craft. Investors care about boats because they underpin businesses and costs in industries like shipping, tourism, leisure manufacturing and transportation services; changes in demand, regulation, operating costs, or accidents can affect revenues, asset values and insurance exposures much like how trucks matter to land transport companies.

robotic process automation technical

Robotic process automation uses software “robots” to perform repetitive digital tasks—like copying data between systems, filling forms, and routing approvals—so people can focus on exceptions and higher-value work. For investors, RPA can lower operating costs, speed up transactions, reduce errors and scale activity without hiring many more staff, which can improve profit margins and cash flow and reduce the chance of process-related mistakes—like swapping manual data entry for a reliable machine.

model context protocol technical

A model context protocol is a set of rules or guidelines that determine how a financial model interprets and applies information within a specific situation. It helps ensure consistent and accurate analysis by clarifying what data or assumptions are relevant in a given scenario. For investors, it provides clarity on how predictions or assessments are made, increasing confidence in decision-making.
