Tray.io Named a Visionary in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for iPaaS

Company Recognized for Completeness of Vision

February 23, 2024

SAN FRANCISCO – Tray.io, creator of the AI-powered, multi-experience iPaaS, today announced the company’s recognition as a Visionary in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Integration Platform as a Service, Worldwide report(1). Tray.io was also recognized as a Strong Performer in the Gartner 2023 Voice of the Customer Report(2), with a 94% Willingness to Recommend. Tray.io was one of the first iPaaS providers to introduce GenAI as a platform service in early 2023 with the release of Merlin AI, a unique platform-level intelligence layer that infuses AI into every experience, so companies can accelerate integration delivery at every level and across every team by leveraging AI across the end-to-end experience, from augmented development to on-demand chat-first automation.

“Fueled by AI, the iPaaS market — and customer demands — are changing rapidly. Companies need a provider that can not only drive their success quickly now, but a visionary who delivers the market responsiveness and innovation required to keep pace with the ever-evolving demands of the future,” stated Tray.io CEO Rich Waldron. “To gain competitive advantage, enterprises need an iPaaS solution that fosters composability and offers a flexible experience to business users, integration specialists and developers.  Enabling fusion team based development brings within reach the strong governance, reuse, management and control that enterprises demand. The Tray Universal Automation Cloud is the only solution that meets all of these criteria.”

AI has kicked the speed of business into hyperdrive. Traditional iPaaS cannot keep pace.

Gartner defines Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) as “a vendor-managed cloud service that enables end users to implement integrations between a variety of applications, services and data sources, both internal and external to their organization.” Now, with the accelerating pace of change in the business landscape, companies are seeking agile, responsive and AI-augmented solutions that drive rapid time-to-value by facilitating collaboration and efficient integration and automation development. We believe this Gartner recognition underscores the company’s commitment to providing its customers with cutting-edge experiences and continually innovating to deliver modern, AI-augmented and AI-ready solutions to keep pace with digital transformation initiatives.

About Tray.io

Tray.io is an AI-powered, multi-experience iPaaS that speeds time-to-integration from months to days, in a single platform. The Tray Universal Automation Cloud eliminates the need for disparate tools and technologies to automate sophisticated internal and external business processes.

Enterprises not born in the digital age are challenged with modernizing their approach to integration — a must for achieving competitive advantage. Unlike other iPaaS products, which are expensive, complex, code-only and slow, the Universal Automation Cloud seamlessly connects systems and processes to simplify the enterprise tech stack and break down the departmental barriers hindering the pace of digital transformation.

With three experiences to choose from — developers in Tray Code, business technologists in the low-code Tray Build environment or managers and front-line employees through a no-code natural language experience in Tray Chat — enterprises benefit from transformational capabilities across process automation, data integration, connectivity and ecosystem activation.

In addition to the growing mandate to develop AI strategies for the enterprise, the convergence of integration modernization and AI is a once-in-a-career opportunity for IT leaders to unify their integration platforms and increase execution velocity. The Universal Automation Cloud is powered by Tray Merlin AI, a unique platform-level intelligence layer that infuses AI into every experience, so companies can accelerate integration delivery at every level and across every team by leveraging AI across the end-to-end experience, from augmented development to on-demand chat-first automation.

Underpinned by an Enterprise Core, the Universal Automation Cloud delivers the foundational composability, elasticity, observability, governance, security and control required for companies to quickly and collaboratively develop integrations and automations at scale.

Love your work. Automate the rest.™
