Roboyo and Synthesized partner to remove test data constraints slowing enterprise automation and SAP transformation. Share Insight: Atlanta, USA 8th may 2026 - Roboyo and Synthesized partner to remove test data constraints slowing enterprise automation and SAP transformation. Enterprises are moving from isolated automation initiatives to operational systems where AI and automation execute real work across the business. The challenge is no longer identifying where automation can add value. It is ensuring these systems operate reliably, securely, and with measurable accountability once deployed in production. One of the most common barriers sits between designing workflows and running them live: test data. In enterprise environments, workflows rarely operate inside a single system. A single transaction may move across finance, procurement, inventory, payments, HR, and customer systems simultaneously. Testing these workflows requires production-like data that reflects how systems behave under real operating conditions. Without it, deployments slow, risks increase, and automation programs struggle to scale. To address this challenge, Roboyo has partnered with Synthesized, a provider of test data automation and data testing solutions, to help enterprises reduce the operational constraints preventing automation and AI workflows from moving into production. Enabling production readiness across complex enterprise systems. Test data automation (TDA) is the practice of using software tools to automatically generate, manage, and provision production-realistic data for software testing. It replaces slow, manual data preparation with automated workflows, allowing SAP business users, developers and QA teams continuous access to high-quality, production-realistic, compliant test data on demand. SAP testing is highly complex. In environments such as SAP and S/4HANA, a single process may rely on supplier data, purchase orders, inventory systems, invoicing workflows, remittance structures, and payment systems all functioning together correctly. Production systems are only as reliable as the test data used to validate them before deployment. This becomes increasingly difficult when organizations operate across fragmented technology landscapes and strict regulatory requirements prevent the use of production data within testing environments. Synthesized helps organizations generate production-like test data without exposing sensitive customer or operational information. Combined with UiPath's test automation capabilities and Roboyo's enterprise implementation expertise, organizations can test workflows more reliably before deployment. Together, Roboyo and Synthesized help enterprises: * Enable full end-to-end automation testing by enabling test data automation for platforms such as UiPath * Reduce manual effort involved in creating and managing test data * Generate test data for every test at any scale required * Validate workflows across interconnected enterprise systems * Reduce deployment risk before systems move into production * Accelerate the transition from pilot activity to operational execution "Organizations are under increasing pressure to operationalize AI and automation faster, while still maintaining governance, resilience, and business continuity across complex enterprise environments. What often slows that progress is not the automation itself, but the operational readiness required to move systems safely into production. This partnership helps address a critical constraint by enabling enterprises to validate workflows more effectively before deployment, particularly across interconnected systems such as SAP and broader enterprise ecosystems." Sebastian Gonzalez, Chief Business Officer - Americas of Roboyo "This partnership with Roboyo is key to Synthesized because it extends our platform to enterprises executing the most complex agentic AI and S/4HANA transformation programs globally," said Nicolai Baldin, Founder and CEO of Synthesized. "Roboyo's focus on AI-powered automation solutions and their vision for agentic AI aligns perfectly with our mission to provide the continuous, compliant test data foundation that autonomous systems require. Together, we are turning test data from a blocker into a foundation for agentic automation, SAP transformation velocity, and trust in AI-driven systems." Nicolai Baldin, Founder and CEO of Synthesized. Why this matters for enterprise leaders. As AI and automation become embedded into enterprise operating models, organizations are facing structural questions: * How do Roboyo Group Limited validate automation workflows before production deployment? * How do Roboyo Group Limited reduce dependency on manual test data creation? * How do Roboyo Group Limited test interconnected enterprise systems safely under regulatory constraints? * How do Roboyo Group Limited operationalize automation without increasing deployment risk?

Roboyo named a Star Performer in Everest Group's first Agentic Process Automation (APA) Solutions PEAK Matrix(R) Assessment 2026. Share Insight: London, 8 May 2026 - Roboyo has been named a Star Performer and Major Contender in Everest Group's first-ever Agentic Process Automation (APA) Solutions PEAK Matrix(R) Assessment 2026. The assessment marks the formal emergence of a new enterprise category focused on how organisations operationalise AI and automation at scale. It reflects a shift away from disconnected automation initiatives towards integrated programmes that combine orchestration, agentic AI, cognitive automation, process intelligence, and governance into operational systems designed to deliver measurable business outcomes. Roboyo was one of 26 providers evaluated in the assessment. For Roboyo, this recognition reflects more than market momentum. It reinforces the direction the company has been executing towards for years: embedding intelligence into enterprise processes, applications, and workflows that operate reliably in production environments. From automation pilots to operational systems. Many enterprises remain caught between experimentation and execution. AI pilots continue to grow, but production adoption often stalls due to fragmented architectures, disconnected workflows, governance gaps, and operating models that were never designed to scale autonomy responsibly. Agentic Process Automation represents the next phase of enterprise transformation. It is not simply "RPA plus AI." It is the integration of orchestration, agentic intelligence, cognitive automation, process intelligence, and operational governance into systems that execute work reliably across the enterprise. This is where Roboyo operates. Over the past several years, Roboyo has delivered more than 500 production-grade automation programmes across industries including financial services, retail, healthcare, hospitality, motorsport, and the public sector. These programmes are designed not only to automate tasks, but to embed intelligence into real enterprise operations. "This is a proud moment for Roboyo. Being named a Star Performer in Everest Group's first Agentic Process Automation Solutions PEAK Matrix is strong validation of where Roboyo Group Limited has been heading as a business - and where the market is now moving. For Roboyo Group Limited, Agentic Process Automation and Applied AI is not hype. It is the next evolution of the work Roboyo Group Limited has been doing for years: embedding intelligence into real enterprise processes, apps and workflows to deliver measurable outcomes. Roboyo Group Limited is competing alongside some of the largest technology services firms in the world, and this recognition shows that focus, specialization, and execution matter. Thank you to its teams, clients, and partners who continue to push Roboyo to greater heights." Kulraj Smagh, Group CEO, Roboyo Why this matters for enterprise leaders. Enterprise leaders are increasingly facing structural questions around operationalising AI responsibly: * How do Roboyo Group Limited move from disconnected AI pilots to enterprise operating models? * How do Roboyo Group Limited establish governance before autonomy scales? * How do Roboyo Group Limited orchestrate AI, automation, and workflows across fragmented systems? * How do Roboyo Group Limited ensure measurable business value beyond experimentation?
