Intelligent Automation Services: Enabling Next-generation Automation Leveraging Agentic AI

December, 2025

Advancements in agentic AI are redefining the intelligent automation landscape, enabling autonomous processes with minimal human touchpoints. Enterprises are increasingly demanding outcome-driven intelligent automation initiatives that go beyond task-level efficiency to deliver measurable business impact. In response, service providers are developing frameworks and platforms that support the seamless orchestration of RPA bots, AI agents, and humans across end-to-end workflows. This shift is accelerating the adoption of intelligent automation programs across enterprises.

Both demand- and supply-side trends are covered in Avasant’s Intelligent Automation Services 2025–2026 Market Insights™ and Intelligent Automation Services 2025–2026 RadarView™, respectively. These reports present a comprehensive study of intelligent automation service providers and closely examine the market leaders, innovators, disruptors, challengers, and tech pioneers.

We evaluated 68 service providers across two dimensions: practice maturity and future proofing. Of the 68 service providers, we recognized 27 that have brought the most value to the market over the past 12 months.

The report recognizes service providers in five categories:

    • Leaders: Accenture, Capgemini, Cognizant, HCLTech, IBM, Infosys, TCS, Tech Mahindra, and Wipro
    • Innovators: EXL, Genpact, LTIMindtree, and Sutherland
    • Disruptors: Coforge, Firstsource, ITC Infotech, Movate, and NTT DATA
    • Challengers: CGI, DXC, Hexaware, Mphasis, UST, and Virtusa
    • Teach pioneers: Appian, Avanade, and EdgeVerve

“Agentic AI is pushing the boundaries of automation, redefining process intelligence and productivity,” said Chandrika Dutt, research director at Avasant. “But the real competitive frontier is orchestration, aligning RPA, AI, and human cognition into a unified intelligence system that continuously learns, adapts, and amplifies enterprise value.”

The reports provide several findings, including the following:

    • Enterprises are transitioning from standalone technology implementations to outcome-driven intelligent automation.
    • Telecom, media and entertainment, healthcare and life sciences, and financial services lead the adoption of intelligent automation services.
    • Enterprises are embracing multi-agent ecosystems to drive cross-application intelligence, strengthen governance, and eliminate vendor lock-in.
    • Automation platform vendors are advancing agentic automation by developing low-code tools to build AI agents and offering agentic orchestration capabilities.

“Intelligent automation is entering a new era where AI and agent autonomy redefine how work gets done,” said Saurav Jayant, senior research analyst at Avasant. “By infusing reasoning, self-learning, and decisioning into workflows, automation is evolving from executing tasks to driving adaptive, self-optimizing business systems.”
