We take a coffee with Sagi Eliyahu, CEO and co-founder of Tonkean, to see how they’re helping enterprises redefine back-office operations through agentic orchestration…
When Tonkean was founded a decade ago, the term orchestration was hardly part of the enterprise lexicon. Automation was the word of the day, and the focus was on data. But for Sagi Eliyahu, CEO and Co-Founder of Tonkean, something fundamental was missing from the enterprise software landscape.
“I had this aha moment that business processes are about people, not about data,” he reveals. “But 100% of enterprise software is about data. And while processes almost always span teams and functions, enterprise software remains siloed. Something was missing – not another tool or feature, but an entire layer. A layer that connects people, systems and workflows seamlessly. That’s what orchestration is.”
From that insight came Tonkean: an orchestration platform designed to help large enterprises bridge the gap between systems, functions and the humans who drive every process. Ten years on, orchestration is no longer a mysterious concept. It’s fast becoming the connective tissue that allows organisations to unify their operations, improve compliance, and leverage AI more effectively. At DPW Amsterdam, you couldn’t escape conversations about orchestration, which were taking place all around us.
