The 2025 Gartner Hype Cycle for Enterprise Process Automation, Enterprise Process Orchestration is positioned on the rising slope of the “Peak of Inflated Expectations.”
That means:
The technology is gaining rapid traction as orchestration becomes the architectural backbone for coordinating processes, APIs, and automations across enterprise systems.
It remains early in mainstream adoption, but organizations are already seeing measurable value as orchestration becomes the foundation for AI-driven and agentic automation.
Gartner expects Enterprise Process Orchestration to reach the Plateau of Productivity within 2–5 years, signaling a near-term maturity timeline compared to many other innovations in the report.
By 2029, 80% of enterprises with mature automation practices will pivot to consolidated platforms, such as business orchestration and automation, that orchestrate business processes and agentic automation.
