As we enter 2026, we are proud to look back on a major milestone journey: AlphaFlow has been recognized by Gartner in two consecutive Market Guides—first in EBPA (2024) and then in BPA Tools (2025). Together, these recognitions highlight a clear industry direction: enterprises need both process understanding (analysis & architecture) and process execution (automation & orchestration) to drive transformation at scale.
In September 2024, Gartner released its Market Guide for Enterprise Business Process Analysis Tools (EBPA), and AlphaFlow was included among the representative vendors—notably described as the first and only selected product headquartered in China in that guide's vendor list.
Gartner positions EBPA platforms as comprehensive business and process modeling tools that help organizations improve performance by connecting multiple perspectives (strategy, analysis, architecture, and automation) and cross-functional collaboration. The guide also emphasizes EBPA's value in bridging strategy and execution, enabling process improvement, accelerating automation, and supporting enterprise architecture (EA) initiatives.
In May 2025, Gartner published the Market Guide for Business Process Automation Tools (BPA). AlphaFlow was again selected—this time as one of the global "Representative Vendors" in BPA tools, alongside well-known international vendors. The report notes the accelerating convergence of AI, process mining, and low-code capabilities, as BPA evolves from traditional workflow tooling toward more adaptive automation platforms.
The guide highlights key trends shaping BPA adoption, including growing demand for end-to-end process governance, stronger user experience, and increasing pressure around compliance and fragmentation—making modern BPA platforms a strategic capability for enterprises.
Taken together, Gartner's EBPA and BPA viewpoints align with what enterprises increasingly need:
EBPA helps organizations create a shared, structured understanding of business processes and value networks—building the "blueprint" for execution.
BPA turns that blueprint into real operational outcomes—automating execution, monitoring performance, and enabling continuous optimization with AI-enabled capabilities.
This is why AlphaFlow continues to invest in an end-to-end, full-lifecycle process platform that connects process planning & design (EBPA), process management & automation (BPA), and process mining & improvement (BPI)—so enterprises can build a true closed loop: design → run → measure → improve.
Gartner's 2025 BPA guide recognition specifically points to AlphaFlow's strengths across modeling, execution, and AI integration. Key platform capabilities include:
No-code, visual process modeling to adapt quickly to changing business needs
Embedded workflow engine + integration (iPaaS) to connect ERP/CRM/HR and other core systems
AI-enabled process automation to streamline validation, routing, reminders, and repetitive tasks
A roadmap direction toward LLM-driven modeling and AI task assistance, aligned with Gartner's view of AI-infused automation platforms
Entering 2026, AlphaFlow will continue to build toward the next generation of enterprise process infrastructure—where process governance, automation, and intelligence converge. We believe the future belongs to organizations that can not only automate tasks, but also continuously understand and optimize their process systems in real time.
If your organization is planning a process modernization initiative in 2026—across analysis, standardization, automation, and optimization—we'd love to connect.
