Workflow Automation & Data Orchestration

Automate the work between your systems

We design workflows and data pipelines that run themselves, recover from failure and tell you when they need a person, connecting applications, data platforms, people and AI.

The problem

Cron jobs and scripts don't scale into a business process

Most organizations run critical processes on a patchwork of scheduled scripts, manual hand-offs and tools that don't talk to each other. Failures surface late, often reported by the business, and the knowledge sits with a few people. Orchestration replaces that patchwork with workflows that are versioned, observable and recoverable.

What we automate

  • Business process automation

    What it deliversApprovals, onboarding, claims, reconciliations and back-office flows, with human-in-the-loop steps where judgment matters

  • Data pipelines and ELT

    What it deliversBatch and incremental pipelines from source systems to warehouse and lakehouse, with tests, lineage and freshness alerts

  • Event-driven architecture

    What it deliversKafka, RabbitMQ and cloud queues that let systems react to business events as they happen

  • AI workflow orchestration

    What it deliversRAG ingestion, embedding refresh, batch inference and agent workflows, with every model call logged, retryable and auditable

  • Integration automation

    What it deliversSaaS, ERP and CRM integrations through APIs and connectors, replacing manual exports and re-keying

  • Data engineering and analytics

    What it deliversApache Spark processing, lakehouse design and BI dashboards that turn pipelines into decisions

  • Data quality and governance

    What it deliversSchema registries, data contracts, quality checks and lineage that keep downstream consumers confident

  • Automation platform and CoE

    What it deliversStandards, templates and self-service tooling so teams can build automations safely on a shared platform

Choosing the right orchestrator

The right engine for each job, operated as one system

  • Apache Airflow

    Best forData, ML and AI pipelines with complex dependencies; Python-native teams; asset- and event-driven scheduling

    Watch forNeeds disciplined DAG design and real operational ownership at scale

  • AWS Step Functions

    Best forServerless service orchestration inside AWS; short-lived, high-volume state machines

    Watch forAWS-specific; less natural for data-heavy batch dependencies

  • Azure Durable Functions

    Best forLong-running, stateful application workflows on Azure

    Watch forAzure-specific; code-centric, with less visibility for data teams

  • Apache Kafka

    Best forHigh-throughput event streaming and decoupling between systems

    Watch forMoves events; it doesn't orchestrate multi-step business logic on its own

  • AI agents

    Best forSteps that need judgment over unstructured inputs

    Watch forNon-deterministic; wrap them in orchestration with approvals, limits and audit trails

Most enterprises need more than one. We put each engine where it fits and connect them, so one team can see and operate the whole flow. See how we pair them in event-driven automation with Apache Airflow and Kafka.

Automation principles

  1. 1

    Idempotent by design: every task can be re-run safely.

  2. 2

    Failure is a first-class path: retries, dead-letter queues and alerts designed up front, not after the first incident.

  3. 3

    Observable end to end: lineage, run history and service-level dashboards for every workflow.

  4. 4

    People where judgment matters: approval gates with timeouts and escalation.

  5. 5

    Automation as code: versioned, reviewed, tested and deployed through CI/CD.

AI meets automation

Bring AI into business processes with the controls auditors expect

Orchestration is becoming the safest place to run AI. Apache Airflow 3.1 added human-in-the-loop steps, and the community's Common AI provider (April 2026) turns LLM calls and agents into named, logged, retryable tasks with optional approval gates. We use these patterns to automate judgment-heavy work without losing the audit trail.

FAQs

We already use another tool. Do we need to switch?

No. We start from what you run, fix what's fragile and add engines only where they earn their place.

How do you decide what to automate first?

We score candidate workflows on volume, effort, error cost and risk, then start where value is high and risk is contained.

Can automations include human approvals?

Yes. Approval, review and escalation steps are part of the workflow, with timeouts and a full record of who decided what.

What about RPA?

We prefer APIs and event-driven integration because they are faster and less brittle. We use RPA only where a system offers no other interface.
