Intelligent Automation

Automation + AI

The current & the next

Agentic AI

Autonomous Agents

For years, business process management was about mapping a process, codifying its rules, and running it iteratively.  The ‘AI’ era demands processes and systems to think, learn, and improve.

Most enterprises and governments have systems and processes built across different eras. AOT’s expertise spans this entire evolution, allowing us to modernize your workflows without disrupting what already works.

Unlike traditional, rule-bound automation, our intelligent approach incorporates a layer of judgment. By leveraging data and AI, the system interprets context, manages exceptions, makes informed decisions, drives action and continuously evolves.

AI, the judgment layer

BPM, the orchestration layer

Self learning execution layer

Our platforms and consulting practice helps you build agents that can decide how to get the job done, not just carry out instructions.

Are we on
the same BOAT?

Business Orchestration and Automation Technologies

BOAT is Gartner’s terminology that describes platforms that address modern automation.

The convergence

Rather than treating workflow, low-code, robotic automation, decisioning, and analytics as separate tools, BOAT brings them together into a single fabric.

The evolution

It represents the evolution of traditional process management suites into a composable, AI-infused set of capabilities for orchestrating work across the whole organization.

AOT’s suite of products, accelerator frameworks and partner-technologies helps you get onboard the ‘BOAT’

Our approach:
Orchestrate 
end to end

Coordinate human work, system integrations, bots, and AI across complete processes, not isolated steps.

Platforms underpin the Solution

Open source or Commercial? Monolith or Best-of-breed? Choose the right intelligent automation platform.

Compose, don't 
custom-build

Assemble solutions from reusable, low-code building blocks so change is fast and governed.

Decide 
intelligently

Embed business rules and AI directly into the flow of work, so decisions scale without growing headcount.

See 
and improve

Measure how processes actually run, and use that intelligence to continuously optimize.

What We Deliver

Our automation practice spans:

Process orchestration & workflow automation

Model, automate, and govern end-to-end processes across departments and systems.

Low-code application development

Build and adapt business applications quickly, with the governance enterprises require.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA)

Automate repetitive, rules-based tasks and bridge systems that lack modern APIs.

Decision automation & business rules

Externalize and manage business logic so decisions are consistent, auditable, and easy to change.

AI-infused document & data processing

Extract, classify, and act on information from forms, documents, and unstructured sources.

Process intelligence 
& analytics

Instrument processes end to end and turn operational data into actionable insight.

Our In-House Platforms

Composable, Modular & Easy to License.

Organisations can connect their systems, orchestrate their processes, and manage even the most complex, judgment-driven work on interoperable foundations.

Our professional services team, Managed Service Providers and Value Added Resellers extend the power of the suite to customers across various markets and industries.

The orchestration foundation

Our flagship open-source, low-code platform brings the core of intelligent automation into a single environment — unifying form and application building, workflow and process orchestration, and analytics out of the box.

Teams design intelligent forms, route them through configurable business processes, automate decisions, and monitor everything from one dashboard.

formsflow.ai can also combine the ‘Human-in-the-loop’ into your workflows.

The connectivity layer

Automation is only as good as what it can reach. node-wire is AOT’s open-source, Python-based connector platform, the connective tissue that lets enterprise systems, workflows, AI agents, and applications talk to one another.

Rather than building brittle, point-to-point integrations, teams use node-wire’s standardized framework to create connections that are secure, resilient, observable, and reusable, spanning cloud platforms, enterprise applications, AI tools, and custom software.

That matters as AI moves into the flow of work: node-wire is built to connect not just systems and data, but the AI agents that increasingly act within a process — giving the rest of the ecosystem a dependable way to reach everything it needs to orchestrate.

The lightweight, AI-ready workflow engine

m8flow is our open-source, Python-based workflow engine : lightweight enough to embed anywhere, yet built on open standards.

+

It is BPMN-compliant, so processes are modeled in a portable, industry-standard notation, and it is ready for agentic AI orchestration — designed to coordinate not just human and system tasks, but autonomous AI agents working within a governed flow.

That makes m8flow the engine where traditional process automation meets the next generation of AI. As organizations move from rules-based automation toward AI agents that can reason and act, m8flow gives them an open, standards-based way to orchestrate both — together, in one process.

Adaptive case management

Not all work follows a fixed path. Often you will need case management, built around your existing line-of-business systems.

caseflow handles dynamic, knowledge-worker-driven processes — investigations, applications, service requests, and other case-based work where the next step depends on judgment and context. It complements structured workflow with the flexibility complex cases demand, while keeping everything governed, auditable, and connected to the rest of the platform.

Audit-ready decisions, derived from clear criteria and evaluations.

Agentic decision intelligence framework which enables your agents to take decisions, by comparing and contrasting perspectives and inputs from multiple LLMs.

delphi ensures that all AI-driven decisions are fully transparent, scored, and audit-ready. Built with maximum flexibility in mind, delphi can be baked into your product or solution, or be layered into your existing stack.

One ecosystem,
not multiple tools.

node-wire connects your systems, formsflow.ai collects and routes human input and approvals, m8flow runs lightweight, standards-based and AI-ready workflows, and caseflow manages the work that won’t fit a straight line — all on an open foundation you control.

Supported Technologies

We have expertise and partnerships with a plethora of tools, which helps us bring the right blend to your organization.

& many more.

Intelligence and
action, connected

Data & AI Solutions practice builds the intelligence : the models, data pipelines, and insight that help organizations understand what’s happening and what to do next.

Our intelligent automation practice turns that intelligence into action by orchestrating the processes, decisions, and systems.

Our enterprise application development capabilities build these into your organization and set them up for success in the long term.
