Gartner SOAP FAQs

What is a SOAP?

According to Gartner, a Service Orchestration and Automation Platform (SOAP) is described as follows: “Service orchestration and automation platforms have become crucial for deploying complex workloads that deliver business services. These platforms combine workflow orchestration, workload automation and resource provisioning, and extend capabilities to data pipelines and cloud-native architectures.”

SOAPs adapt to use cases for application architectures, cloud-native infrastructure and data pipelines. Thus, they complement DevOps initiatives and integrate with toolchains to standardize digital business processes.

Infrastructure and operations leaders (I&O leaders) can use SOAPs to design and implement business services with customer-focused agility, improving SLA outcomes and reducing operational costs.

What is the Gartner Magic Quadrant™?

"A Magic Quadrant™ provides a graphical competitive positioning of four types of technology providers in markets where growth is high and provider differentiation is distinct:

  • Leaders execute well against their current vision and are well-positioned for tomorrow.
  • Visionaries understand where the market is going or have a vision for changing market rules, but do not yet execute well.
  • Niche Players focus successfully on a small segment or are unfocused and do not out-innovate or outperform others.
  • Challengers execute well today or may dominate a large segment but do not demonstrate an understanding of market direction."
