Avato started with a group of enterprise architects who knew there was a better way to integrate disparate systems and data. From their dedication to solving complex problems in an infinitely simpler way, Avato was born.
The word Avato stems from the Hungarian word for “of dedication” and that is exactly what this company stands for: a deep dedication to architecting the technology foundation required to power rich, connected customer experiences. On a daily basis, our hybrid integration platform and team of integration experts are delivering results for customers by unlocking isolated assets and enabling business value creation.
