Workato Japan Honors Partner Companies Driving Automation and AI Transformation in the Japanese Market

## Workato Japan Partner Awards 2026

June 8, 2026, Tokyo — Workato KK (head office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Allan Teng), the Japanese subsidiary of Workato Inc. (headquarters: Palo Alto, California, USA), a leading provider of the industry's first agentic orchestration platform, announced the "Workato Japan Partner Awards 2026" at the "Workato Japan Partner Day 2026" held on June 5, 2026. These awards honor partner companies that are strongly leading AX (Automation Transformation) and DX (Digital Transformation) in the Japanese market.

Today, Workato is rapidly evolving beyond a mere integration and automation tool into a next-generation Agentic Platform with AI agents at its core. This new platform, where multiple AI agents seamlessly collaborate to autonomously support everything from corporate decision-making to business execution, is attracting keen attention from many companies across industries. Partner companies stand at the forefront of such technological innovation, and their role is becoming increasingly important as key players in practically supporting customer companies' DX and AI utilization.

### Award Winners and Reasons

**SI Partner of the Year: Hitachi Solutions, Ltd.**

The SI Partner of the Year award is given to an SI (Systems Integrator) partner that has demonstrated outstanding performance in the sales, introduction, and implementation of the Workato platform.

Hitachi Solutions achieved results far exceeding its Platinum tier target for two consecutive years. They have also actively acquired knowledge of Workato solutions, and the fact that many members involved in the Workato business within the company have obtained Workato Specialist certification was highly evaluated as a reason for this award. They have continuously provided flexible proposals and implementations making full use of Workato's capabilities to address customers' diverse and complex DX challenges, truly representing a top Workato partner in Japan.

**SI Breakout Partner of the Year: NTT Data Advanced Technology Corporation**

As the term "Breakout" suggests, this award is given to a partner that has engaged in innovative market development by leveraging new Workato capabilities, and from which further leaps are expected.

NTT Data Advanced Technology proposed a completely new approach: a next-generation integrated automation platform that transcends the limits of RPA by combining "RPA by Workato" with Workato, in a context where RPA previously was often used as a standalone tool. They articulated the value in a way directly linked to solving customer challenges, contributing significantly to new business creation. This advanced initiative beyond the existing RPA framework opens up new possibilities for automation in the Japanese market, and we look forward to their continued success.

### Great Expectations for the Partner Ecosystem

The award-winning companies this year are just shining examples within the Workato partner ecosystem. As many companies domestically and internationally accelerate investment in agentic AI and business automation, Workato's partner network, including these award winners, has become an important presence broadly supporting the digital transformation of Japanese companies.

We have received many messages from existing customers such as, "Working with a Workato partner has enabled us to achieve automation in a shorter time and at lower cost," and "We can now draw a concrete roadmap for AI utilization." Expectations for Workato partners are spreading beyond the award winners to the entire ecosystem.

Workato will continue to deepen collaboration with domestic partner companies and strongly support the business transformation and growth of Japanese companies. Companies interested in partnership are encouraged to consider joining the Workato Partner Program.

"I am very pleased to announce the Workato Japan Partner Awards again this year. In Japan, interest in enterprise AI is higher than ever, and the role of our partners is more important than ever in helping customers maximize the value of AI.

Our award winners this year, Hitachi Solutions and NTT Data Advanced Technology, have demonstrated outstanding results in driving customer business transformation and value creation under strong commitment to Workato. I sincerely respect their innovation, leadership, and great contributions.

This award not only celebrates the achievements of our winners, but also expresses our gratitude to all partners who contribute daily to the growth of Workato's business and the success of our customers.

Together with our partners, we will continue to take on the challenge of realizing new business transformation through AI and further expand the ecosystem that accelerates DX and AX for Japanese companies."

### Comment from Kazunori Hori, Executive Officer, Head of Japan Sales & Partnerships, Workato KK

"I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to Hitachi Solutions and NTT Data Advanced Technology on their awards. What both companies have in common is that they did not just sell Workato; they accurately understood customer challenges, mapped them to Workato's capabilities, deeply internalized them as their own business, and sincerely engaged with customers to make proposals. I believe that this accumulation of efforts has resulted in this award. The entire Japan team is very grateful and proud. Thank you very much."
