Awards are nice. Validation is better.
But what matters most is why the recognition exists in the first place.

We’re proud to share that CIO Review Europe has named Mutherboard the Top Intelligent Automation Solution in the UK for 2026. It’s a milestone for our team — and more importantly, a signal that the way businesses approach automation is changing.

This recognition isn’t about flashy AI buzzwords or automation for the sake of it. It’s about solving real operational problems in a way that scales, adapts, and actually gets used.

The Problem with “Automation” as Most Businesses Know It

Most organisations don’t suffer from a lack of tools.
They suffer from a lack of connection, clarity, and control.

Over the years, we’ve seen the same patterns repeatedly:

  • Data trapped across disconnected systems

  • Project management tools that don’t reflect reality

  • Resource plans that look good on paper but fall apart in practice

  • Teams drowning in manual admin while leadership lacks visibility

Automation often enters the picture as a promise — but ends up becoming another layer of complexity.

That’s where Mutherboard takes a different approach.

Intelligent Automation Isn’t About Replacing People

At Mutherboard, we don’t believe intelligent automation is about removing humans from the equation. It’s about removing friction.

Our focus has always been on:

  • Automating repetitive and manual processes

  • Integrating platforms so data flows where it’s needed

  • Using AI to surface insights, risks, and opportunities early

  • Giving teams a single, reliable source of truth

When automation is done right, people don’t work less — they work better. Decisions improve. Bottlenecks become visible. Growth becomes intentional instead of reactive.

Why This Recognition Matters

CIO Review Europe’s recognition reflects something we’ve seen firsthand across the UK market:
Businesses are no longer asking if they should automate — they’re asking how to do it intelligently.

What stood out to CIO Review Europe was Mutherboard’s ability to:

  • Design automation around real business workflows

  • Seamlessly integrate tools like project management, resourcing, finance, and operations

  • Apply AI where it creates measurable impact

  • Deliver solutions that evolve as organisations scale

This isn’t one-size-fits-all automation. It’s automation built for how teams actually operate.

Where Integrations and AI Really Shine

Automation without integration creates silos.
Integration without intelligence creates noise.

Mutherboard sits at the intersection of both.

By connecting platforms and layering in AI, we help organisations:

  • Forecast resources more accurately

  • Identify delivery risks earlier

  • Improve utilisation and capacity planning

  • Align projects, people, and financial outcomes

The result? Leadership teams gain visibility they can trust, and delivery teams gain systems that support — rather than slow — their work.

A Reflection on the Journey So Far

This recognition didn’t happen overnight.

It’s the result of:

  • Listening closely to clients’ real frustrations

  • Saying no to shortcuts and quick fixes

  • Building solutions that prioritise long-term value

  • Constantly refining how automation should support modern businesses

We’re incredibly grateful to our clients and partners who trusted us to challenge existing systems and rethink how work gets done.

What’s Next for Mutherboard

Being named Top Intelligent Automation Solution in the UK for 2026 isn’t a finish line — it’s a checkpoint.

As organisations continue to navigate complexity, scale, and change, the demand for intelligent, integrated, and human-centred automation will only grow.

Our focus remains the same:

  • Smarter systems

  • Better decisions

  • Less friction

  • More clarity

And helping businesses build operations that don’t just keep up — but lead.
