Who we've built for.
How we work
- Overview
- Three phases from Workato workspace audit to live in production. We are Workato Certified Implementation Specialists and we run Workato in production for enterprise clients.
- Step 1 — Scope and architecture
- Two weeks scoping. Workspace audit (existing recipes, technical debt, connector inventory). Process map with stakeholders. Custom connector scope. Workbot strategy. Governance plan (Recipe Lifecycle Management, Workspace separation, OPA policies). Embedded scope where applicable.
- Step 2 — Build in sprints
- 4 to 12 weeks build. Two-week sprints. Recipes built with proper error handling, callable recipes for reuse, lookup tables for config. Custom connectors in Workato Connector SDK for proprietary APIs. Workbots for in-Slack and in-Teams workflows. Governance configured from day 1.
- Step 3 — Harden and launch
- 1 to 2 weeks hardening plus deploy. Recipe Lifecycle Management for promotion from Dev to Test to Prod workspaces. Test plans run via Workato test mode. Production cutover with parallel running. Two weeks of hypercare with on-call coverage during business hours.
