Automic V26 marks the next major release of the Automation Engine – and at PEM, you can already test it today in our Future Labs.
In this article, we take a closer look at the most important new features of Automic V26, show you what you can already explore in the Future Lab, and invite you to join our upcoming webinar with Broadcom, where the new version will be presented in detail.
Automic V26 – What’s New?
Automic Automation V26 is the next major version after V24. While previous major releases were largely driven by mandatory technical changes – such as TLS in V21 or UTF-8 in V24 – V26 clearly focuses on functional enhancements and modern platform evolution.
Among the highlights already presented are:
- AI Jobs for new automation scenarios
- REST API OAuth support for modern authentication models
- Database maintenance via REST API
- A redesigned and modernized Automic Web Interface (AWI)
- Improved integration and security models
These enhancements are not minor refinements. They open up new possibilities for more secure architectures, deeper integrations, and smarter automation strategies.
Test Automic V26 in the PEM Future Lab
The key advantage: You don’t have to wait for the official release.
In our Admin and Designer Future Labs, the current V26 BETA version is already available. There you can:
- Explore new features hands-on
- Validate your own use cases
- Test extended REST API capabilities
- Analyze AWI changes in detail
- Provide structured feedback based on real scenarios
With our Future Labs, we support the Broadcom Customer Validation Program for V26. This means practical test cases and real-world feedback contribute to the early evaluation of the new version.
Designer and Admin members already have full access to the Future Labs.
