Together, these initiatives will accelerate digital transformation for enterprises of all sizes.

The Series A financing was led by Storm Ventures with additional investment from Salesforce Ventures and Workday Ventures. Workato secured $6M in earlier funding from founders and advisors.

"SaaS and APIs have completely disrupted the enterprise software market, but integration platforms have not kept up," said Vijay Tella, CEO of Workato. "We are reinventing enterprise-grade integration for tomorrow's dynamic digital business, while delivering consumer-grade ease-of-use. This funding round, along with the release of Workato Turing, will help us to push enterprises toward digital transformation faster."

Workato is used by more than 21,000 organizations, including some of the world's top brands and processes more than 4 billion integration events per year.

"We love companies that take a completely different approach to existing large markets," said Ryan Floyd, managing director of Storm Ventures. "Workato is redefining the integration market for the digital first age and we are excited to join them on this journey."

Workato Turing - The Future of Intelligent Automation
As data continues to be fragmented across more apps and systems, the need for universal visibility, intelligent automation, and context-rich interactions with customers has skyrocketed. The next generation of integration platforms will be the driver for dynamic digital businesses, according to many experts.

"An average enterprise now uses more than 1,000 apps and data sources. Businesses must rethink their middleware and integration platform strategy," said Holger Mueller, VP and principal analyst of Constellation Research. "Integration is no longer just a way to connect a few apps. Now, integration is about accelerating digital transformation across the entire business. Modern integration platforms must allow business users and IT to partner to build and roll out process automations - but without compromising security and governance."

Workato's Turing release is available today and delivers on this need. The highlights of this release are:

-� Recipe IQ: Increasing intelligence in automations
