Stonebranch is Again Named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Service Orchestration and Automation Platforms (SOAPs)

Gartner recognizes Stonebranch as a Leader for the third consecutive year based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute.

ALPHARETTA, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Stonebranch, a leading provider of service orchestration and automation solutions, today announced that it has once again been positioned by Gartner as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for Service Orchestration and Automation Platforms (SOAPs) for its offering, Universal Automation Center™ (UAC).¹

“We’re pleased to be recognized as a Leader for the third year in a row,” said Giuseppe Damiani, CEO at Stonebranch. “To us, this recognition reflects our advancements in helping enterprises orchestrate increasingly complex IT operations with confidence. As organizations modernize their automation strategies and adopt AI, UAC provides the centralized orchestration control plane required to unify traditional automation with AI models and agentic systems. With built-in capabilities like Robi AI, UAC’s agentic copilot, we’re making it easier than ever for teams to build, manage, and optimize automation at enterprise scale.”

Stonebranch UAC helps organizations unify, manage, and scale automation across hybrid, multi-cloud, and agentic environments. UAC enables organizations to:

• Orchestrate complex IT and business workflows that span cloud, on-premises, containerized, SaaS, and emerging AI environments.
• Securely send managed file transfers internally, externally with B2B trading partners, and from on-prem to the cloud as part of a broader automation workflow. Then, orchestrate and run downstream data pipelines upon receiving a file.
• Empower end-users of any skill level with intuitive self-service automation and AI-assisted workflow management, and embedded intelligence through Robi AI.
• Unify enterprise automation and agentic systems with a centralized orchestration control plane that works across existing tools, platforms, and technologies.
• Accelerate enterprise initiatives, including cloud migration, infrastructure orchestration, jobs-as-code for DevOps, data pipelines, AI-powered workflow automation, and agentic AI use cases.

Built on modern architecture, Stonebranch UAC serves as the orchestration control plane for enterprise automation, providing organizations with centralized visibility, governance, and control across deterministic (traditional automation) and probabilistic (AI) business processes. With embedded AI capabilities through Robi AI, UAC also helps users accelerate automation management and simplify day-to-day operations.

Additionally, with advanced monitoring, SLA management, and comprehensive observability, Stonebranch ensures enterprises maintain full governance and control of their automated processes.
