GBTEC Work Orchestrator, formerly BIC Process Execution, is the workflow-automation product of GBTEC Software AG. It lets organisations build no-code and low-code applications, automate workflows end to end and process documents intelligently, with an AI assistant called Arty supporting users while teams keep control. It is part of the GBTEC Platform, formerly the BIC Platform, which also covers process design, enterprise architecture and governance, risk and compliance management. GBTEC describes itself as a SaaS software provider and lists Work Orchestrator under a Cloud and SaaS deployment model.

GBTEC Software AG is headquartered in Bochum, Germany, and the sources consulted name no foreign parent company. The software is proprietary and not open source. The pages consulted do not name data centres or hosting providers for Work Orchestrator, so European organisations that need to know where their data is stored should request the hosting location, the sub-processor list and a data processing agreement. As a German SaaS provider, GBTEC operates under German and EU law, including the GDPR.
