Workato recognizes the companies that have excelled in driving dramatic results in the following categories:

1. Kaiser Permanente - Employee Experience Automation: With over 12 million members, 39 operating hospitals and more than 700 medical offices housing 300,000 plus personnel, an automation project intended to alert project managers of overdue files for approval unearthed communication gaps that needed resolution.

In a matter of months, Belcorp replaced a 10 year old integration technology with Workato, and calls the project a success story because it allows “the different technology and business areas to build their own integration processes, which was previously centralized in a single area.” In just six months, they have seen a 67% increase in productivity during the creation of 1000+ recipes.
