Gartner SOAP FAQs

What is a service orchestration automation platform?

According to Gartner, a Service Orchestration and Automation Platform (SOAP) is described as follows: “Service orchestration and automation platforms are essential for delivering business services through complex workloads. SOAPs unify workflow orchestration, workload automation and resource provisioning, extending across data pipelines and cloud-native architectures.” SOAPs adapt to use cases for application architectures, cloud-native infrastructure and data pipelines. Thus, they complement DevOps initiatives and integrate with toolchains to standardize digital business processes. Infrastructure and operations leaders (I&O leaders) can use SOAPs to design and implement business services with customer-focused agility, improving SLA outcomes and reducing operational costs.
What is the Gartner Magic Quadrant™?

”A Magic Quadrant™ provides a graphical competitive positioning of four types of technology providers in markets where growth is high and provider differentiation is distinct:

  • Leaders execute well against their current vision and are well-positioned for tomorrow.
  • Visionaries understand where the market is going or have a vision for changing market rules, but do not yet execute well.
  • Niche Players focus successfully on a small segment or are unfocused and do not out-innovate or outperform others.
  • Challengers execute well today or may dominate a large segment but do not demonstrate an understanding of market direction.”
