- Optimize IT Spend: Analyze IT expenditures (software, hardware, staffing) to ensure alignment with revenue streams and changing needs.
- Prioritize Change: Define key themes for change initiatives, including culture, skills, data management, technology adoption, and capability maturity.
Solution
The university leveraged the Cyferd Platform’s embedded AI, Neural Genesis, to address these challenges by:
- Rapid App Development: Neural Genesis accelerated the creation of modern applications, streamlining the digital transformation process.
- AI-Powered Innovation: The platform fostered ideation, problem-solving, and innovation through its AI capabilities.
- Collaborative Co-Creation: Academics, student services, IT staff, and students all participated in the co-creation of applications, ensuring a shared vision and broad acceptance.
- Seamless Integration: Integration with the existing Student Information System (SIS) ensured new applications seamlessly interacted with existing data.
Outcome
By leveraging AI-powered app development and a collaborative approach, the university achieved significant progress towards its 2030 digital transformation goals.
- Cross-Functional Engagement: Co-creation fostered university-wide buy-in for the digital transformation strategy, achieved through a reduction in development time thanks to AI.
- Faster Development: Neural Genesis facilitated an estimated cost saving of 6 months per application development cycle.
- Increased Efficiency: The ability to develop 20 new applications per year translates to a saving of 10 full-time employee equivalents (FTEs).

Comparisons
BOAT Platform Comparison 2026
Timelines and pricing vary significantly based on scope, governance, and integration complexity.
What Is a BOAT Platform?
Business Orchestration and Automation Technology (BOAT) platforms coordinate end-to-end workflows across teams, systems, and decisions.
Unlike RPA, BPM, or point automation tools, BOAT platforms:
- Orchestrate cross-functional processes
- Integrate operational systems and data
- Embed AI-driven decision-making directly into workflows
BOAT platforms focus on how work flows across the enterprise, not just how individual tasks are automated.
Why Many Automation Initiatives Fail
Most automation programs fail due to architectural fragmentation, not poor tools.
Common challenges include:
- Siloed workflows optimised locally, not end-to-end
- Data spread across disconnected platforms
- AI added after processes are already fixed
- High coordination overhead between tools
BOAT platforms address this by aligning orchestration, automation, data, and AI within a single operational model, improving ROI and adaptability.
Enterprise BOAT Platform Comparison
Appian
Strengths
Well established in regulated industries, strong compliance, governance, and BPMN/DMN modeling. Mature partner ecosystem and support for low-code and professional development.
Considerations
9–18 month implementations, often supported by professional services. Adapting processes post-deployment can be slower in dynamic environments.
Best for
BPM-led organizations with formal governance and regulatory requirements.
Questions to ask Appian:
- How can we accelerate time to production while maintaining governance and compliance?
- What is the balance between professional services and internal capability building?
- How flexible is the platform when processes evolve unexpectedly?
Cyferd
Strengths
Built on a single, unified architecture combining workflow, automation, data, and AI. Reduces coordination overhead and enables true end-to-end orchestration. Embedded AI and automation support incremental modernization without locking decisions early. Transparent pricing and faster deployment cycles.
Considerations
Smaller ecosystem than legacy platforms; integration catalog continues to grow. Benefits from clear business ownership and process clarity.
Best for
Organizations reducing tool sprawl, modernizing incrementally, and maintaining flexibility as systems and processes evolve.
Questions to ask Cyferd:
- How does your integration catalog align with our existing systems and workflows?
- What is the typical timeline from engagement to production for an organization of our size and complexity?
- How do you support scaling adoption across multiple business units or geographies?
IBM Automation Suite
