StarHub announced a partnership with Workato to tap on the power of Workato's platform to create frictionless integration-led automation experiences for customers. According to Workato's Automation Index 2022, the global use of automation has doubled year on year since 2020, and the growing demand for workplace automation in Singapore is one of the key drivers of this partnership between StarHub and Workato. The report found 66% of organizations now having five or more departments deploying automation, and HR automation processes such as onboarding continues to see high growth in organizations globally.

Gartner projects a 23% increase in the global market for low-code/no-code technologies, propelled by the needs of business-driven automation. Under the terms of the partnership, StarHub and Workato's shared customers will enjoy the following benefits: Streamline onboarding processes by orchestrating device provisioning, management, and security control systems. Build and manage automation workflows easily using Workato's low-code/no-code platform. Simplify day-to-day operations by integrating different technology solutions and SaaS applications to prevent fragmentation.

Reduce time needed to carry out mission-critical business process integrations and speed up innovation by eliminating manual work. To date, StarHub and Workato have jointly onboarded a new customer, CloudCover, a subsidiary under leading public cloud solutions provider ST Telemedia Cloud. CloudCover is a cloud-native solutions company dedicated to enabling seamless collaboration between developers and IT teams. With Workato's integration-led automation, CloudCover is streamlining its day-to-day operations and transforming key business processes to increase productivity and efficiencies across the organization.

The comprehensive automation and integration capabilities of the Workato Platform will also ease the data migration efforts once CloudCover's merger with ST Telemedia Cloud is finalized. In addition to the new suite of enterprise automation software solutions, StarHub and Workato will also be collaborating on a hyper-automated mobile device management platform which will automate and streamline onboarding processes. Combining StarHub's market presence and reach with Workato's expertise in integration-led automation, this partnership will provide small, medium and large enterprises in Singapore greater access to easy-to-use and affordable hyperautomation platforms.
