One objective in. Every department moving.
The control plane reads every signal across finance, procurement, people, banking, IT, legal, health and property, activates the right agents, and closes every loop back to a person's decision.

Describe the work. Get an agent.
Explain a workflow in plain English. IBM watsonx Orchestrate drafts the agent: its steps, the tools it needs and where a person reviews. No code. Octane then connects it to your systems.
Try the Agent DesignerMap the actual expense on the active invoices to the active POs. Match on PO number, sum the expenses for each PO and flag any PO that's overspent.
Every step traceable. People review where it matters.
These are the real steps our agents run. Agents gather the evidence, a rules engine applies the policy, and a person reviews before money moves or a decision is final.
- Every finding cites its source: the document, page and quote
- Decisions are made by fixed, deterministic rules, not by a prompt
- A person approves anything irreversible
- Every step is written to a hash-chained audit trail
Eight departments. One connected platform.
Explore each department and the agents that run it.
The Agentic Finance Department
Forecasting, variance, close, reconciliation, tax and treasury, orchestrated end to end across six entities.
Procurement & Contracts
Tender compliance, contract risk, RFP scoring and invoice automation with dual-persona approval.
Human Resources
AI hiring from resume to recommendation: screening, a voice interview, evaluation and learning. A person makes every decision.
Loan Underwriting
Retail loans underwritten in seconds: five checks run in parallel, a credit memo is written, and a person approves. Approved loans open straight into core banking.
IT Service Desk
Employee IT support from self-help to vendor escalation: touchless fixes after an identity check, and a person approves every privileged change.
Legal Desk
The in-house legal front door: approved guidance, NDAs in minutes, contracts checked against Legal's playbook, and every letter or claim with a lawyer and a deadline.
Outpatients & Clinical Trials
GP referrals booked in the right window, a consult note kept up to date as clinician and patient talk, and trial documents drafted. Clinicians decide and sign.
Property & Asset Management
Sensor alerts and tenant requests become checked work orders, leases are abstracted with every field quoted, the capital plan is ranked by fixed rules, and IBM Planning Analytics does every FP&A number. People approve above their delegated limit.
