User conferences showcase the world’s largest
and most successful Digital Workforce deployments built on Blue
Prism’s world-leading Enterprise RPA platform
Blue Prism, the company delivering the world’s most successful
digital workforce, last week hosted its second Blue Prism World
event this year in London, recording even greater attendance rates
than its recent New York conference. The conferences collectively
attracted more than 1,200 attendees, making Blue Prism World the
largest RPA event of the year.
“Blue Prism World is by far the largest RPA vendor event we’ve
seen yet,” said Phil Fersht, CEO of HfS, the leading RPA and
digital labor analyst firm who presented at Blue Prism World
London. “The quality of attendees and presenters made the size of
the conference that much more impressive. It was extremely valuable
to hear leaders from several of the world’s most recognizable
brands out in force to share their successes and challenges with
RPA. Blue Prism has set the standard with a unique community that
is helping make RPA technology mainstream.”
The conferences were highlighted by presenters from
world-renowned enterprises, consulting and delivery partners and
thought leaders in RPA, including Accenture/Avanade, BNY Mellon,
Capgemini, Deloitte, EY, Fidelity, HSBC, IBM, KPMG, Lloyds Banking
Group, Met Life, Pfizer, Prudential, Wells Fargo, Western Union,
Williams Martini Racing and Zurich Insurance Group, to name a
few.
Industry standards committees and academia were also strongly
represented by presentations from Lee Coulter, CEO of
Ascension Shared Services and Chairman of the IEEE standards;
Leslie Willcocks, professor of technology work and
globalization at the London School of Economics (LSE) and Political
Science; and Mary C. Lacity, professor of information
systems at the University of Missouri and visiting scholar at MIT
Center of Information Systems Research.
“These events put the spotlight on our customers and partners
who provide us with invaluable support, collaboration and
guidance,” said Alastair Bathgate, CEO of Blue Prism. “The marquee
clients who have stepped up to tell their remarkable stories of
success and delivered business value understand the impact
automation is having on the evolving nature of work. It is their
success stories, shared with industry peers, teamed with our
fantastic partner ecosystem that will help drive the adoption of
our digital workforce going forward.”
Each client success story highlighted how the Blue Prism
enterprise RPA solution is the only true and trusted
enterprise-grade RPA platform available today, where the software
robots are designed to handle mission-critical transactions
securely and at scale and automate hundreds of processes
simultaneously, all while delivering millions and millions of hours
annually back to the more than 300 Blue Prism enterprise clients
across the globe.
“Blue Prism is on a roll,” said John O’Brien, Research Director
at TechMarketView. “The event in London was packed to the rafters,
with several hundred people attending, and others not able to get
in at all. This shows first-hand the level of adoption and surging
interest in RPA. Blue Prism backed it up yesterday when it
announced that company revenues more than doubled in the first half
of 2017.”
Coinciding with Blue Prism World events, the company unveiled
Version 6.0 of its RPA platform as the Operating System for the
Digital Workforce. Most notably, the latest platform supports
deployments incorporating cutting-edge cloud and artificial
intelligence (AI) capabilities, accelerating the use of, and
productivity of, cognitive technology within the enterprise.
Customers can work with leading cloud service providers such as
AWS, Google, IBM and Microsoft to have Blue Prism RPA solutions now
delivered as a service. And for access to AI and cognitive
capabilities, Blue Prism’s ecosystem of technology partners
includes industry heavyweights Appian, Captricity, Celaton, Expert
System, IBM and Minit.
