Beyond RPA, DPA, And iPaaS — The Future Is Adaptive Process Orchestration

A New Market Is Emerging

Mar 25, 2025

Summary

Enterprise process automation leaders face complexity in selecting from the overlapping capabilities of robotic process automation (RPA), digital process automation (DPA), integration platform as a service (iPaaS), low-code applications built for process automation, and emerging AI-driven platforms.
