What does Co Valere deliver as a Workato implementation partner?
Co Valere delivers the full Workato lifecycle as a Workato implementation partner, from platform design to support after go-live. One Co Valere team covers architecture, build and support, so the client works with the same people throughout.
Co Valere delivers 6 Workato services:
- Integration strategy and architecture. Workspace design, environments, naming standards, security and governance for recipes and connections.
- Technical delivery. Recipes, custom connectors built with the Workato Connector SDK and on-prem agents for systems behind the firewall.
- Process automation. End-to-end automation of processes such as employee onboarding, finance approvals, supply chain orders and quote-to-cash.
- API management. APIs published and secured on Workato's API Platform for internal teams and external partners.
- Agentic AI and enterprise MCP. AI agents built in Workato Agent Studio and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers that give AI assistants governed access to business processes.
- Managed support. Monitoring, incident response, changes and platform health checks after go-live.
Co Valere also moves integration estates to Workato from TIBCO, MuleSoft, webMethods and Boomi. Co Valere supports and runs legacy integration platforms for organisations that are not ready to migrate.
Why do organisations choose Co Valere for Workato?
Organisations choose Co Valere for Workato because of 4 strengths: recognised delivery, measured results, architecture-led design and support beyond go-live. Workato named Co Valere its EMEA Delivery Partner of the Year 2025. Co Valere is listed as a consulting partner in Workato's partner directory, according to Workato.
Co Valere's Workato projects have produced 4 measured results:
- A FTSE 250 packaging manufacturer reduced its active integration estate by 60%, from over 400 undocumented point-to-point integrations across 12 countries.
- The same manufacturer now delivers new integrations 3 times faster.
- The same manufacturer had no integration-related incidents in the first 6 months after go-live.
- An NHS Trust with over 8,000 employees automated 12 HR processes on Workato and saves more than 4,000 hours of manual work per year.
Co Valere designs governance, environments and reusable components before it builds recipes. This design keeps a Workato workspace maintainable as the number of recipes grows from tens to hundreds. Co Valere trains each client's team during delivery, so the client can run Workato on its own or hand it to Co Valere's managed support.
Co Valere is a boutique enterprise architecture, integration and AI consultancy with offices in Paphos, Cyprus, and Altrincham, UK. Co Valere is also a Flowable Global Solution Partner. In Co Valere's view, senior architects who stay on a project from assessment to go-live matter more to a Workato programme than the size of the partner.
How long does a Workato implementation take?
A Workato implementation takes anywhere from 3 weeks to 9 months, depending on the number of integrations and automations in scope. Every Co Valere implementation starts with an assessment of a few days to 2 weeks.
The table below shows typical Workato implementation durations by scope:
| Scope | Integrations and automations | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Small | Fewer than 50 | 3 to 8 weeks |
| Medium | 50 to 200 | 6 weeks to 4 months |
| Large | More than 200 | 4 to 9 months, delivered in waves |
A new Workato implementation is faster than a migration, because no legacy logic needs to be reverse-engineered. Three factors extend a Workato implementation: custom connectors for systems without a pre-built connector, data quality issues in source systems and approvals and change management from across the business. Co Valere measures all 3 factors during the assessment.
What does a Workato implementation cost?
A Workato implementation cost has 2 parts: Co Valere's services and the Workato licence. Co Valere prices its services after the assessment, based on the number of integrations, custom connector work and architectural design work to ensure the investment returns long term benefit. A new Workato implementation typically costs less than half of a migration of the same size, because no legacy platform needs to be retired.
Workato sets its own licence pricing, which combines a platform edition with usage measured in Workato credits. Workato licence prices change from time to time. Co Valere works closely with Workato, and confirms applicable Workato licence costs for each proposal, so the client sees services and licence together in one estimate.
How does Co Valere deliver Workato projects?
Co Valere delivers Workato projects with its ACT framework: Assess & Align, Construct & Coordinate, and Transition & Transform, which complements the Workato GEARS framework. Each stage has defined outputs.
The 3 stages work as follows:
- Assess & Align. An assessment of a few days to 2 weeks produces an inventory of integrations and processes, a target architecture, a delivery plan and a cost estimate.
- Construct & Coordinate. Co Valere builds recipes, connectors, APIs and AI agents in two-week sprints, with governance and testing applied from the first sprint.
- Transition & Transform. Co Valere takes each release live, trains the client's team and hands over to managed support or to the client.
