Workato and Aoranow Join Forces: Pioneering AI Solutions in Japan

On May 28, 2026, Workato Inc., a leader in agentic automation platforms based in Palo Alto, California, announced its collaboration with Aoranow Co., Ltd., a Tokyo-based consulting firm specializing in ServiceNow and Claude technologies. This partnership, structured as a reseller agreement, seeks to revolutionize the digital transformation landscape for Japanese enterprises.

Background of the Partnership

The rapid shift in Japan's digital transformation (DX) landscape is moving from mere operational efficiencies to an era defined by Agentic AI, wherein AI operates autonomously. Companies now face a core challenge: the absence of an "AI Control Plane" that allows these technologies to operate safely and autonomously across various internal systems, data, and processes.

Aoranow, which began operations in 2023, has developed critical insights as a ServiceNow-focused consulting firm. They recognized that while maximizing the value of ServiceNow's functionalities is crucial, a dedicated platform for AI orchestration across the enterprise is indispensable. To leverage the advanced reasoning capabilities of Anthropic's Claude securely and effectively within an enterprise setting, the partnership identifies Workato's Enterprise MCP (AI Control Plane) as the optimal solution. This conviction stands at the heart of their collaboration.

In its efforts to implement Agentic AI, Aoranow has become a trailblazer with initiatives such as organizational training programs for Claude utilization (scheduled for announcement in April 2026) and the rollout of their Agent Growth Platform (AGP). The synergy between Workato's Enterprise MCP and Aoranow's expertise in Claude and ServiceNow equips them to provide comprehensive, hands-on Agentic AI solutions tailored to Japanese businesses.
