US-based integration software developer Workato closed a $25m series B round on Wednesday that included cloud software provide ServiceNow and Workday Ventures, the investment arm of enterprise software producer Workday.
Venture capital firms Battery Ventures and Storm Ventures also contributed to the round, which increased the company’s overall funding to $41m.
Founded in 2013, Workato has developed a cloud-based software platform that automates the integration of enterprise applications and business processes such as employee onboarding as well as artificial intelligence-powered chatbots that can help users complete tasks.
Workato closed a $10m series A round in July 2017 that featured Workday Ventures and Salesforce Ventures, the corporate venture capital unit for enterprise software developer Salesforce.
Storm Ventures led the series A round, which came after $6m in earlier funding supplied by the company’s founders and advisers.
Leighanne Levensaler, managing director and co-head of Workday Ventures, said: “Workato provides a solid glimpse into the future of work – a single platform that can be used to automate work across the organisation quickly and effectively – helping to create more seamless worker experiences.
“We are excited to increase our investment in the platform as it continues to help our customers transform their businesses.”
