Aisera

2025

Why

Acquired on November 4, 2025 to add Aisera's self-service AI agents for IT service management, HR and customer service, along with a team of more than 100 AI engineers.

Impact

Paired conversational AI agents with the Agentic Process Automation System, letting service requests be answered and then acted on across back-end systems.

Outcome

Put Automation Anywhere in direct competition with seat-priced service desk software, which it argues needs up to 40% fewer seats once agents handle the work.

FortressIQ

2021

Why

Announced in December 2021, the acquisition of San Francisco process discovery company FortressIQ added computer vision that maps end-to-end workflows without log or API integrations.

Impact

Shipped inside the platform as Process Discovery, cutting the analyst effort needed to identify which processes are worth automating.

Outcome

Gave Automation Anywhere its own process intelligence layer against Celonis and UiPath Process Mining.

Klevops

2019

Why

Acquired Klevops SAS of Paris in August 2019 to orchestrate work between employees and software bots in contact centres and back-office banking teams.

Impact

Became the technology behind the attended automation interface first sold as AARI and later renamed Automation Co-Pilot, letting front-office staff trigger bots from their own screens.

Outcome

Extended the platform from unattended batch automation into attended, human-in-the-loop desktop work.

Automation Anywhere's Growth & Acquisition Strategy

The growth strategy is hyper-focused on the integration of Generative AI. Basic RPA (just copying and pasting) is becoming a commodity. To justify premium enterprise pricing, Automation Anywhere is pushing 'Agentic AI', bots that don't just follow a strict set of rules, but can actually understand a complex command (e.g., 'process these 500 invoices and email anyone who owes us money') and execute it autonomously. They are aggressively targeting large legacy industries (like healthcare and banking) that are desperate to reduce their large administrative overhead.

How Automation Anywhere Makes Money

The business model is enterprise SaaS. Automation Anywhere licenses its Agentic Process Automation System on annual subscriptions: a cloud Control Room platform fee, named licences for the people who build automations, runtime capacity for attended and unattended bots, and consumption pricing for document pages processed and AI agent execution. Renewals are argued on payback, because a deployment that clears a backlog of invoices or service desk tickets can be measured against the labour it replaces. Since the Aisera acquisition the company has also pushed outcome-based pricing, charging for work completed rather than seats, and it signed the largest outcome-based contract in its history in the first quarter of fiscal 2027.

Automation Anywhere Acquisitions FAQ

Why did Automation Anywhere acquire Aisera?

Announced on 4 November 2025, the Aisera deal added self-service AI agents for IT service management, HR and customer service, plus a team of more than 100 AI engineers. Terms were not disclosed.

When and why did Automation Anywhere acquire FortressIQ?

Announced in December 2021, FortressIQ brought computer vision process discovery that maps how work is done across applications without log or API integrations. It now ships inside the platform as Process Discovery, at an undisclosed price.

What did the Klevops acquisition add?

Acquired in August 2019, Klevops SAS of Paris coordinated work between employees and bots. Its technology became the attended interface first sold as AARI and later renamed Automation Co-Pilot. The price was not disclosed.

Does Automation Anywhere disclose acquisition values?

No. The purchase prices for Klevops, FortressIQ and Aisera were all left unpublished, which is consistent with the company's practice of not disclosing detailed financial information.

How does Automation Anywhere approach acquisitions?

All three deals bought technology and teams that were folded into one platform rather than run as separate products: work orchestration in 2019, process discovery in 2021 and service desk agents in 2025.

How did the Aisera deal change what Automation Anywhere sells?

It put the company directly against per-seat service desk software. It argues enterprises need up to 40% fewer ITSM seats once agents do the work, and that it prefers to charge for work completed rather than for seats.

Who advised on the Aisera transaction?

BofA Securities acted as exclusive financial adviser to Automation Anywhere and J.P. Morgan Securities acted as exclusive financial adviser to Aisera.

What has FortressIQ's technology become?

It runs as Process Discovery inside the platform, and its data feeds the Process Reasoning Engine, which the company says draws on the 400 million automations running on its platform to improve agent accuracy.

Does Automation Anywhere acquire other startups?

Yes, they execute highly targeted tech acquisitions, such as buying Klevops, to aggressively expand their bots' ability to seamlessly collaborate with human workers in real-time.
