SINGAPORE and HONG KONG, Aug. 12,
2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Prism (AIM: PRSM), today
announced the opening of its Asia-Pacific headquarters in Singapore and new offices in Hong Kong, providing local sales and
consulting support to help meet increasing demands for its Digital
Workforce platform. These new offices will support Blue Prism's
growing list of Fortune 500 customers in Asia, which includes marquee clients such as
Great Eastern Life, Maybank, and Schroders to name a few, across
multiple vertical industries including banking, insurance,
manufacturing, government and retail.
According to IDC Financial Insights estimates, RPA will be in
use in at least 40 percent of Asia-Pacific banks and insurance companies by
2020. In addition, the latest IDC FutureScape predictions state
that use of RPA enhanced by artificial intelligence (AI)
capabilities will grow threefold by 2021. These market adoption
numbers are being supported and validated by the strong customer
growth Blue Prism is experiencing in the region.
"We are the local provider of choice for intelligent automation
and operational transformation in Asia. The Blue Prism ecosystem in Asia continues to grow with local language
support, employees across Asia,
partners in-region and multiple successful Digital Workforce
deployments," said Martin Flood,
Blue Prism's EVP of Global Sales. "The new office locations
will strengthen and augment our existing capabilities in region,
including our expansion in Japan,
India and Australia. As the market leaders serving an
estimated 1,000 organizations worldwide, we are excited about our
commitment to customers in the Asia
Pacific region."
Blue Prism's Digital Workforce augments, supports and assists
humans to increase productivity, improve experience, and deliver
true operational agility for business-wide RPA deployments. It
helps organizations automate and scale business processes via AI,
machine learning, intelligent automation and sentiment analysis.
The open nature of this platform provides reusable, modular
software objects that can be configured with minimal intervention
from developers, allowing business users, process excellence
engineers and subject matter experts at leading global enterprises
to quickly deploy Blue Prism's digital workers (software robots)
that automate and complete increasingly complex tasks through a
single platform.
Blue Prism also eliminates vendor lock-in by providing access to
the best of breed AI technologies and Intelligent Automation skills
through the company's Technology Alliance Program (TAP). Unlike
uncontrolled desktop scripting and macro recorders, Blue Prism is
driving enterprise RPA adoption through a business led and
IT-endorsed, methodology and architecture that enables long-term
success, true digital transformation and overall lower Total Cost
of Ownership (TCO).
