Camunda has been named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Adaptive Process Orchestration Software, Q3 2026, an evaluation of the 13 providers Forrester considers most significant in the market. For BP3 Global, a Camunda Platinum Partner and Camunda's Better Together Partner of the Year for 2026, the result reflects what we see in client programs every week: enterprises moving AI agents into production need an orchestration layer they can trust to run complex processes at high volume, and Camunda is built for that job.
What does the Forrester Wave evaluate in adaptive process orchestration?
Forrester's evaluation centers on a question most enterprise AI programs are now asking: how do you apply AI to complex processes and still keep control of the outcome? Forrester describes adaptive process orchestration as an evolutionary step toward autonomous business operations. Customers use it to scale their existing automation and to orchestrate AI agents with greater accuracy, control, and compliance.
The report identifies a lack of confidence in AI's ability to deliver accurate results reliably and repeatably as one of the top reasons organizations have not yet moved to autonomous operations with agentic AI. Its view is that the right architecture can significantly reduce unreliable and incorrect AI output. Forrester assessed each vendor on three dimensions: the strength of its current offering, the strength of its strategy, and customer feedback.
Why was Camunda named a Leader?
Forrester highlights Camunda's vision, which it says "is based on the thinking that every running process was designed in a world without AI." Camunda calls its response to that reality the great process reengineering, and positions its Open Orchestration Architecture as the enabler of it.
On capabilities, the report points to Camunda's strength in designing and managing complex processes and running them at scale with high reliability and adaptivity, along with its runtime observability and optimization features. Forrester also notes that "the platform provides strong auditability, live versioning, and updates without any downtime." The report recognizes Camunda's adoption program and the size and activity of its user community, and customers interviewed for the evaluation praised Camunda's support and the approachability of its product team.
Forrester's take is that Camunda "is best suited for large enterprises requiring scalable, reliable, and observable process orchestration that includes agentic AI at scale."
Why does orchestration matter for agentic AI in production?
Most enterprises have already proven that an AI agent can do useful work in a pilot. The harder step is running that agent inside a real business process, where it meets exceptions, service levels, audit requirements, and thousands of instances a day. That is where orchestration earns its place.
An orchestration layer decides when an agent acts, when a deterministic rule applies, and when a person reviews the result. With Camunda, those decisions live in BPMN and DMN models that business and IT teams can read together, and every running instance is visible and auditable. Compliance teams can see what an agent did, what data it used, and who approved the outcome. That visibility is what turns a promising pilot into a process the business is willing to depend on.
Orchestration also respects the investments organizations have already made. Established enterprises run a mix of bots, integrations, core systems, and human work, much of it doing its job well. Camunda connects those assets end to end, so teams can introduce AI agents step by step rather than replacing what already works.
How does BP3 help enterprises get more from Camunda?
BP3 has worked with Camunda for years across EMEA and North America. We are a Camunda Platinum Partner, winning Camunda's partner awards every year since their inception. Our team has built connectors published on the Camunda Marketplace, including connectors for UiPath Communications Mining and Azure DevOps.
Clients engage BP3 across the full life of a Camunda program. We help business and IT teams model their processes in BPMN together, so the diagram everyone agrees on is also the one that runs. We design and implement orchestration and decision automation on Camunda, architect agentic workflows with clear human-in-the-loop checkpoints, and train internal teams so they can extend the platform with confidence.
The Forrester result confirms the strength of the platform. BP3's role is to turn that platform strength into processes that deliver measurable results for your organization.

Frequently asked questions
Where does Camunda place in The Forrester Wave™: Adaptive Process Orchestration Software, Q3 2026?
Camunda is named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Adaptive Process Orchestration Software, Q3 2026. Forrester evaluated 13 providers on current offering, strategy, and customer feedback, and grouped them as Leaders, Strong Performers, and Contenders.
What is adaptive process orchestration?
Adaptive process orchestration software coordinates people, systems, bots, and AI agents across end-to-end business processes. Forrester describes it as an evolutionary step toward autonomous business operations, used both to scale existing automation and to orchestrate AI agents with greater accuracy, control, and compliance.
Why do enterprises need orchestration to run agentic AI in production?
AI agents in production meet exceptions, service levels, audit requirements, and high volumes. An orchestration platform such as Camunda decides when an agent acts, when a business rule applies, and when a person reviews the result, and it records every step. That control and visibility is what lets organizations trust agentic AI inside critical processes.
