We’re delighted to announce the general availability of new capabilities aimed at helping you do more through intelligent automation, faster and smarter than before.    

Our latest portfolio launch includes Blue Prism Desktop   

We have introduced the only desktop solution in the market to automate frequently run, high value and data-sensitive tasks that must run on a specific user’s desktop, without sacrificing governance or compromising security.   

Blue Prism Desktop enables users to run centrally developed, validated, and automated processes, that can update multiple systems without comprising the integrity of data records, and can use individual, authorised user credentials and logins, compliantly and securely, to run processes whenever they are needed. And, because the mundane, repetitive and error prone tasks are automated, business users are empowered to collaborate in real-time with customers, leading to improved process speed and accuracy.   

And Blue Prism Desktop does all of this while ensuring the level of security, data governance and auditability, and workflows, required by regulated industries, already provided by Blue Prism Enterprise.  

Blue Prism Desktop provides the following benefits:  

  • Enables full quality control, data governance, and auditability.  

  • Offers secure, scalable, easy-to-use, and simple-to-deploy desktop automation.  

  • Provides centrally managed and robust governance.  

  • Enables full employee support from digital counterparts.  

Impact and business value:  

  • Because the mundane, repetitive and error prone tasks are automated, business users are empowered to collaborate real-time with customers, leading to improved process speed and accuracy. And it does all of this while ensuring the level of security, data governance and auditability regulated industries and workflows require.   

  • Little upskilling and training needed for existing Blue Prism customers who have already invested in Blue Prism     

  • Greater ROI with a proven operating model, highest security, scalability and governance    

We also have new releases for the following portfolio. A brief overview of what is new and how these releases can help you:    

  • Blue Prism 7.1 including Hub Control Room 4.6: make it easier and faster to manage and scale a digital workforce  

  • Blue Prism Interact 4.6: enable more productive experiences for business users, end users, and designers alike  

  • Blue Prism Decision 4.6:  simplify implementation and reduce development time  

  • Blue Prism Capture 3.2: further increase the speed at which automations are built  

  • Blue Prism Process Intelligence 1.1: accelerate process discovery and scaling end-to-end automation    

  • Service Assist 2022.1: incorporate greater scalability of customer care interactions with less resources, enabling your contact center team to provide a richer, more effective customer experience.   

  

FURTHER DETAILS OF OUR NEW RELEASES:  

Blue Prism 7.1, including Hub Control Room 4.6:  In keeping with the core objectives of Version 7, this release further enables existing customers to build a digital workforce that scales faster, is easier to manage, and accelerates their intelligent automation program.   

Release highlights:   

  • A single, unified view across all instances of Blue Prism Enterprise so organizations can monitor, control, and manage their entire digital workforce as one aggregated entity rather than segregated digital workforces dispersed across multiple environments and geographies. This improves control and management of the workforce overall, and enhances administration productivity and effectiveness.    

  • IE browser conversion so that organizations can convert existing automations running IE to other browsers, including Chrome and Firefox.  This gives organizations a smooth path to migrate their existing automations to a new browser with minimal disruption and without the need to redevelop from scratch to support.   

  • Control Room REST API which enhances the ability to trigger and control automations.  For example, Digital Workers can now be triggered as part of a workflow by an external application such as ServiceNow, thereby providing an alternative approach to manual triggers within Control Room.   

Hub and Authentication Server 4.6:  This release provides enhanced authentication through a Single Sign On (SSO) in additional to the ability to align AD Security Groups to Hub roles. This not only enhances the user experience by saving time and effort, but also improves security and makes administration easier.   

Blue Prism Interact 4.6  

Blue Prism Interact is an easy-to-use, attended automation platform that harnesses the power of human + digital worker collaboration. Interact 4.6:  Release 4.6 focuses on improvements to the user experience, reducing bottlenecks and increasing capability and flexibility in the products. These improvements result in making the human to digital worker collaboration an easier, faster, smarter, and more productive experience for business users, end users, and designers alike.   

Release highlights:   

  • Form submissions can now be assigned to a user role or group rather than a specific, named users. This helps address Human Augmented use-cases by improving work coverage, preventing delays, and reducing risk in situations which may otherwise be impacted when named users aren’t available e.g. illness, vacation, or attrition.      

  • Faster, easier navigation for users and power users, including fewer clicks required in any interaction, and fewer steps required for high volume, high throughput submissions. This significantly optimizes the user journey, improves turnaround time and enhances the user experience.    

  • Improved publishing so that Form Designers, rather than just Hub Administrators, can publish forms, helping to remove bottlenecks, reduce delays and improve responsiveness to business needs.   

Blue Prism Decision 4.6: follows on from the first release of Decision in November 2021, providing further improvements to simplify implementation and further reduce development time, including:    

 Faster model development by enabling users to import and export models between environments rather than starting from scratch for each process.    

  • Searchable audit logs allow users to filter prediction history to find what they’re looking for quicker.    

  • Simpler implementation via Microsoft Installer (MSI), thereby providing organizations with an alternative should they not have Docker specific implementation knowledge.    

 

Blue Prism Capture 3.2:  

We continue to make it easier for Process Analysts to produce critical automation assets such as Process Definition Documents (PDDs). This release reduces manual effort and process design time through improved process studio templates, enhanced process editing capabilities, and the much-requested support for common keyboard shortcuts.  

 Release highlights:   

  • Reduce process design time through a more robust process studio template for developers  

  • Increase clarity thanks to the ability to export Process Design Documents (PDDs) with zoomed-in process maps  

  • A smoother editing process to support refinements within and across individual process steps  

  • A better user experience via the support of keyboard shortcuts such as copy/paste    

 

Blue Prism Process Intelligence 1.1:     

Blue Prism Process Intelligence 1.1 integrates advanced machine learning in process and task mining and process optimization to help organizations accelerate process discovery and scale end-to-end digital automation.    

Release highlights:   

  • Expanded process and task mining and analysis:  combines both process assessment and task mining for end-to-end view of every process, variations, deviations and bottlenecks   

  • Automation build export: creates and exports automation files, with reduced manual effort, for integration with Blue Prism Capture v 3.0 and later     

  • Unified 360-degree process monitoring across digital workforce, systems and people:  Intelligent Automation and Machine Learning process monitoring to predict process outcomes and track SLAs.  

With Process Intelligence, line of business and Centre of Excellence teams can accelerate end-to-end automation process discovery and optimization efforts across the organization:   

  • Accelerate time to insight – Improved analytic productivity by industrializing process and task discovery and analysis across the enterprise. Speeding up discovery efforts from months or weeks to days, saving 80% time and effort.
