CROATIA —Enterprise software provider HCLSoftware, a division of IT services major HCLTech, has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Robotiq.ai for an undisclosed sum. Based in Zagreb, Croatia, Robotiq.ai specializes in developing enterprise-grade Robotic Process Automation (RPA) tools. The transaction is projected to close in November 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.
HCLSoftware is the dedicated software development arm of HCLTech, delivering enterprise applications across security, data management, digital transformation, and business automation. Robotiq.ai is a European software firm that provides ISO-certified RPA technology engineered to automate complex operational tasks across financial services, insurance, and telecommunications platforms.
The acquisition addresses key technical bottlenecks in enterprise artificial intelligence deployment, where modern reasoning models struggle to execute actions within legacy IT systems lacking modern application programming interfaces (APIs). By integrating Robotiq.ai's execution engine into its HCL UnO Agentic platform, HCLSoftware expands its capability from decision orchestration to automated task execution across legacy application architectures.
This transaction highlights an accelerating trend toward combining agentic AI capabilities with traditional RPA frameworks to deliver end-to-end process automation. For enterprise technology buyers and institutional investors, the integration reduces operational friction in digital transformation initiatives, enabling regulated industries like banking and telecom to scale automated workflows without requiring complete software architecture overhauls.
