BELLEVUE, Wash., Feb. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Nintex, the global standard for process intelligence and automation, announced the company has acquired Kryon, a process discovery innovator and robotic process automation (RPA) leader, to further extend the intelligent process automation (IPA) capabilities of the Nintex Process Platform.

"We are excited to welcome the Kryon team and look forward to offering Nintex customers and community members more advanced automation capabilities and automated process discovery technology within our platform," said Nintex CEO Eric Johnson. "With Kryon's innovative capabilities for RPA and process discovery, we are executing on our strategy to continually expand the breadth and depth of our process platform to ensure organizations in both the public and private sectors gain digital process competitive advantages."

Today, more than 10,000 organizations worldwide leverage the easy-to-use and powerful capabilities of the Nintex Process Platform for their process intelligence, automation and optimization needs, rapidly solving enterprise-wide process problems by delivering modern digital business and automated solutions that help them to better serve customers and to retain and recruit talent – thanks to the platform's low-code design tools for IT, process and operations professionals as well as business analysts.

"Our global team is thrilled to join forces with a market-leading software company like Nintex, which also has a strong reputation for being a great place to work in every region of the world," said Kryon CEO Harel Tayeb.

Kryon serves Fortune 500 companies across industries like financial services, insurance and telecommunications including industry leaders like AIG, Verizon, LTCG, and CP All who leverage the company's RPA technology, process discovery, and RPA-as-a-Service solutions to understand and improve their operations, resulting in significant time and cost savings.

With Kryon's RPA offerings, organizations are putting powerful and AI-driven attended and unattended RPA bots to work to generate fast ROI, and with Kryon's process discovery technologies, companies can automatically identify repetitive work processes, visually map the main path and variants of any given process, evaluate the suitability of the process for automation, and instantly generate workflows.

Kryon's AI-based and full cycle RPA has achieved leader rankings by industry analyst firms including Forrester¹ and IDC², who ranked Kryon a leader alongside the three largest RPA vendors – UiPath, Automation Anywhere, and Blue Prism – within the recently published IDC MarketScape: Worldwide RPA Software 2021-2022 Vendor Assessment.
