HCLSoftware plant die Übernahme von Robotiq.ai

Key Takeaways

  • HCLSoftware wird das in Kroatien ansässige Robotiq.ai übernehmen, eine ausgereifte Enterprise-RPA-Plattform.
  • Der Deal soll November 2026 abgeschlossen werden und RPA-Ausführung in HCLs KI-gesteuerte Orchestrierungs-Suite UnO Agentic integrieren.
  • Robotiq.ai bedient bereits Dutzende von Großkunden aus Banken, Versicherungen und Telekommunikation und bietet ISO-27001-zertifizierte Sicherheit, vollständige Audit-Logs und flexible Bereitstellung (on-prem, cloud, hybrid).
  • Die Kombination erweitert HCLs Wertschöpfungskette von KI-Entscheidungsfindung zu end-to-end Task-Automatisierung, besonders dort, wo APIs fehlen oder eingeschränkt sind.

HCLSoftware’s Strategic Move

Why the acquisition matters

HCLSoftware hat einen Anstieg der Unternehmensnachfrage nach KI-Lösungen gemeldet, die mehr tun als Daten analysieren – sie müssen auch handeln auf Basis von Erkenntnissen über heterogene IT-Landschaften. Durch die Hinzufügung der Robotiq.ai-Robotic-Process-Automation-Engine (RPA) kann HCL die „Execution Gap“ schließen, die Kunden bisher zwang, separate KI- und RPA-Tools zu verknüpfen.

  • Unified orchestration: UnO Agentic’s reasoning layer wird nun Arbeits-Items direkt an Robotiq.ai-Bots übergeben, wodurch manuelle Übergaben entfallen und die Latenz reduziert wird.
  • Broader market reach: Der RPA-Markt wird laut Gartner bis 2027 auf $13.9 bn wachsen. HCLs Einstieg positioniert das Unternehmen unter den Top-Fünf-Anbietern eines kombinierten KI-plus-RPA-Stacks.

Timeline

  • Announcement: 30 Sep 2026
  • Regulatory review & shareholder approval: Q4 2026
  • Closing: November 2026

Robotiq.ai – An Enterprise-Grade RPA Platform

Attribute Details
Founded 2018 (Zagreb, Croatia)
Core Offering Low-code RPA studio, bot runner, AI-enhanced OCR
Security ISO-27001, ISO-9001, SOC 2 Type II
Auditability Immutable audit logs, role-based access control
Deployment On-premises, private cloud, public cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP)
Customer Base 12 major banks, 8 insurance groups, 5 telecom operators (total > 2 000 bots in production)
Scalability Up to 10 000 concurrent bots per tenant
Integration Supports screen-scraping, legacy terminal emulation, and limited-API environments

Robotiq.ai’s platform is purpose-built for environments where APIs are unavailable or insufficient, a common scenario in legacy banking core systems and telecom OSS/BSS stacks. Its OCR and AI-enhanced data extraction modules enable “human-in-the-loop” automation without extensive coding.


How the Combined Solution Works

From Insight to Action

  1. Data ingestion – UnO Agentic consumes structured/unstructured data (e.g., CRM records, sensor feeds).
  2. AI reasoning – Machine-learning models generate recommendations or trigger conditions.
  3. RPA hand-off – The decision is passed to Robotiq.ai’s bot orchestration layer.
  4. Execution – Bots interact with target applications via UI automation, OCR, or API calls.
  5. Feedback loop – Execution results are logged and fed back into UnO for continuous learning.

Benefits for Enterprises

  • Reduced mean-time-to-resolution (MTTR) by up to 45 % for routine incidents.
  • Operational cost savings of 15-20 % on repetitive transaction processing.
  • Compliance assurance via built-in audit trails and ISO-certified security.

Market Context

Vendor AI + RPA Offering 2025 Revenue (USD) Notable Differentiator
HCLSoftware (post-acquisition) UnO Agentic + Robotiq.ai $1.2 bn End-to-end AI-driven execution
UiPath AI Center + RPA $1.5 bn Vast marketplace of pre-built bots
Automation Anywhere Bot Insight + RPA $1.1 bn Strong focus on hyper-automation
Blue Prism Cloud-scale RPA $0.9 bn Low-code citizen development

The table illustrates that HCL’s integrated stack will sit competitively alongside the industry leaders, with a clear edge in AI-first orchestration.


Bottom Line

HCLSoftware’s planned acquisition of Robotiq.ai represents a decisive step toward a single-pane-of-glass automation platform that couples sophisticated AI reasoning with reliable, secure RPA execution. By bringing together UnO Agentic’s decision engine and Robotiq.ai’s enterprise-grade bots, HCL can address the persistent “automation gap” in legacy-heavy sectors such as banking, insurance, and telecom. With the deal expected to close in November 2026, customers can anticipate a tighter, more auditable workflow that reduces manual effort, accelerates response times, and safeguards compliance—all while positioning HCL among the top tier of AI-plus-RPA providers.
