The Automation Consolidation Trap: Why Having Too Many Tools is Costing You Money
What Happened: Two major workflow automation powerhouses – Decisions and ProcessMaker – merged on November 10, 2025 creating a new market behemoth aimed squarely at enterprises and mid-market companies. The combined entity promises to eliminate “tool sprawl.”
Why This Matters for Your Business: Your organization likely uses 4-6 different automation platforms, each disconnected from the others. The merged company’s data shows this fragmentation costs mid-market businesses time and money. According to Gartner, by 2030, 70% of enterprises will consolidate to unified platforms that orchestrate AI, business processes, bots, and APIs together but only 5% have done so today.
The Critical Question: Are you paying for redundant subscriptions wile your team wastes hours moving data between systems? The new combined platform claims to accelerate “time-to-value” specifically for mid-market segments, but migration will require investment and planning.
What’s at Stake: Companies that don’t consolidate by 2027 could face 30-40% efficiency penalties compared to companies using integrated platforms.

Tech Tip: ✅ Avoid This Mistake
Many teams jump straight into coding custom connectors and flows – even when MuleSoft already provides out-of-the-box capabilities that meet 80% of the need.
The result? Unnecessary complexity, higher maintenance costs, and integrations that break with every upgrade.
Tip: Always start with MuleSoft’s reusable assets (pre-built connectors, Anypoint Exchange templates, policies, etc.) before writing custom logic.
