The way enterprises automate is shifting. Are you evaluating the right platforms?
Hundreds of vendors now claim to offer process orchestration. But Forrester’s research shows many are simply repackaging old automation tools, and buyers are struggling to tell the difference.
Forrester’s The Adaptive Process Orchestration Software Landscape, Q2 2026 report, authored by Forrester analyst Bernhard Schaffrik, provides an overview of 35 vendors across the emerging APO market, giving you a clear, analyst-backed framework to:
- Understand what separates true APO from rebranded automation
- Know which use cases to prioritize, and which capabilities actually matter for your business
- See how vendors differ by industry, geography, and deployment model
- Navigate the shift from deterministic workflows to AI-agent-driven orchestration
