Blue Prism (AIM: PRSM), a leading global Robotic Process
Automation (RPA) provider, today announced it will launch its
Operating System for the Digital Workforce on Microsoft Azure.
Building on the certified cloud reference architecture, Microsoft
and Blue Prism will jointly collaborate to add intelligent
automation capabilities on Microsoft Azure and distribute to the
Microsoft partner network.
Enterprises can now leverage Blue Prism’s intelligent automation
platform powered by Azure Machine Learning and Microsoft AI, and
benefit from leading-edge artificial intelligence (AI), machine
learning, analytics and cloud capabilities to help drive
comprehensive digital transformation.
The joint collaboration will see Blue Prism’s platform
increasingly optimized to run on Azure, delivering unprecedented
performance and scale while enabling native access to cognitive and
AI services. This collaboration also includes building integrations
into Azure Analytics and other partner services.
For example, in the banking sector, Microsoft, Blue Prism and
Identitii have teamed up to streamline financial transactions and
address money laundering using blockchain technology. Together this
solution enables banks and financial institutions to use Blue Prism
to automate and audit financial transactions, while Azure provides
the machine learning analytics and Identitii the database
capabilities. In this way, Blue Prism offers enterprise businesses
a differentiated technology offering on the cloud that is able to
seamlessly integrate with any system in the enterprise landscape,
regardless of its interface, to provide a next generation digital
workforce.
“Our customers and partners are changing the way they think
about automation. They are looking to deploy a digital workforce
that can easily integrate with their other best-in-breed AI and
cognitive solutions,” said Alastair Bathgate, CEO, Blue Prism.
“Working with Microsoft Azure enables this vision by providing
everyone with unprecedented access and flexibility to the latest
automation capabilities, while ensuring that it is done in a
sustainable, scalable way. Our digital workforce safeguards
existing IT investments while enabling the next generation of
enterprise-grade applications.”
Blue Prism’s Operating System for the Digital Workforce
incorporates investments in over a decade of software development
and includes insights from more than 400 global enterprise
customers. These include leading Fortune 500 companies in highly
regulated industries, including finance, insurance, utilities,
telecom, healthcare, retail and manufacturing. An RPA industry
leader, Blue Prism pioneered the Operating System for the Digital
Workforce, coined the term RPA in 2012 and was recently
acknowledged by MIT Technology Review as one of the 50 smartest
companies globally.
“Today’s enterprises are always looking for new ways to make
their operations faster, more secure and more efficient—which is
what drives them to seek out cloud and automation solutions,” said
Janet Lewis, vice president of Worldwide Financial Services at
Microsoft. “Working with Blue Prism to bring their best-in-class
software robots to the cloud not only delivers on that promise but
enables enterprises to truly realize the digital transformation
they’re working toward.”
“Organizations must include intelligent automation processing as
part of their digital transformation strategy,” said Judith
Hurwitz, president and CEO of Hurwitz & Associates.
“Transformation requires a well thought out roadmap. Automation
needs to be aligned as part of a broader business strategy for
developing differentiated service offerings. This collaboration is
all about making processes run smarter digitally, so organizations
can be more competitive and responsive to customer demands.”
