NEW YORK, June 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading digital
innovator, Avanade and Blue Prism, pioneers of robotic process
automation (RPA) software, today announced that they are
collaborating to help enterprises transform the workplace and
empower the digital workforce of the future.
The powerful combination of Avanade's digital capabilities and
Blue Prism's RPA platform will provide organizations the expertise
needed to build scalable robotic workforces that can automate
manual processes and workflows. By driving more efficient use of
resources with RPA and by leveraging the power of the Microsoft
ecosystem through Avanade, employees can increase their focus on
business critical activities. Companies will also have the option
to deploy on Microsoft Azure, enabling the highest level of
continuity and scalability.
Williams is looking to become an early adopter and will leverage
the relationship to manage their increasing volume of IT support
administration tasks. By automating first line triage of IT
helpdesk tickets being raised by end users, Williams predicts it
could save up to 2.8 days per week of their IT workforce's time,
freeing them up to focus more on people support and the resolution
of higher value incidents critical to business performance.
"Avanade has been a trusted partner throughout our digital
transformation journey," said Graeme
Hackland, CIO of Williams Martini Racing. "As we work to
improve efficiencies across our organization, RPA implementations
are a natural next step. The solution will allow us to be
responsive and agile, enabling our technology teams to focus on
high value, high skill areas."
"Our recent research shows that 92% of senior decision makers
believe that process automation is becoming increasingly important
to our clients across industries," said Craig Wood, Avanade Executive for Platforms and
Offerings. "Avanade's proven ability to guide organizations through
digital transformation, combined with Blue Prism's best of breed
RPA technology, positions us well to deliver an augmented digital
workforce."

business benefits of RPA to a broad array of clients," said

for clients allows our teams to apply RPA technology pragmatically
to a business problem, achieving tangible benefits quickly."
