Decisions Included in Forrester APO Landscape
Decisions+ProcessMaker, a recently merged provider of business process automation and AI orchestration platforms, announced it was named in Forrester Research’s "Adaptive Process Orchestration Software Landscape, Q2 2026," a report that evaluates 35 APO vendors. Forrester defines Adaptive Process Orchestration (APO) as platforms that combine AI agents and nondeterministic control flows with traditional deterministic workflows to meet business goals and make autonomous decisions. The report highlights governance, auditability, hybrid execution models, and human-in-the-loop decisioning as critical for enterprises adopting AI-driven automation. Decisions+ProcessMaker says its platform unifies workflow automation, an enterprise rules engine, and agentic orchestration to connect AI, people, systems, and decisions. Giles Whiting, CEO of Decisions+ProcessMaker, commented that enterprises need unified orchestration with enterprise-level governance to scale AI safely and transparently.
Forrester inclusion signals vendor credibility in an emerging APO category and highlights governance and agent orchestration trends relevant to enterprise automation buyers, but it is not industry-shifting news.
