1 . Security of your data is paramount.

You need to know that your RPA solution gives you real comfort around the security

and governance of your information. That means keeping your network secure and

having access to a transparent audit trail of all transactions.

Infrastructural security Create an environment where digital workers can operate free from interference, casual inspection, and especially, tampering.

Centrally managed user access Increase security by making your access parameters managed per robot, process and even by specific objects.

Systemized activity logging Record all transactions in real time for every single process carried out by your digital workers.

Irrefutable audit trail Log every transaction, store this audit trail securely and eliminate any tampering with the record.

Move away from desktop RPA Look for an enterprise-level RPA solution that isn’t limited to one instance per desktop machine.

Put hours back into the business Assign your repeatable processes to the Digital Workforce and add efficiency.

Reduce your total cost of ownership (TCO) Increase productivity by making use of a cost-effective Digital Workforce.

Use a Robotic Operating Model (ROM) Apply a clearly defined procedure and methodology to your RPA implementation.

To meet your scalability demands:

2 . Scalability is vital to digital transformation.

For your transformation to be effective, the capabilities of your Digital Workforce

To understand context, derive means and anticipate change, you need:

3 . Intelligent Automation takes your RPA to a new level.

With intelligence built in, your digital workers don’t just follow instructions,

they can actually begin to think for themselves. This additional intelligence greatly

increases the scope of your RPA.

Knowledge and insight Gain the ability to harvest information from different sources, understand it and then deliver helpful insights and analysis.

Planning and sequencing Optimize your workload and find the opportunities to increase efficiency, productivity and create better business outcomes.

Visual perception Allow your robots to read, digitize and understand visual information, such as PDFs, documents or images.

Problem-solving Utilize the ability to solve logic, business and systems problems without the need for human intervention.

Learning Give your digital workers the ability to learn and adapt to evolving process patterns and grasp the contextual meaning from these datasets and information source.

Collaboration Allow digital workers to work alongside your human workforce, using the same systems, and seamlessly carry out your key business processes.

The Blue Prism ROM covers 7 key areas when implementing RPA:

4 . Business-led RPA with a clear operational plan

Blue Prism’s RPA is a ‘no-code’ solution – meaning that your Operations team will own

and run the implementation process, not your IT department. But for this transition to

be a success, you need a clearly defined plan and methodology to follow when starting out.

This is where our Robotic Operating Model (ROM) adds real value.

Vision Identify the expected business benefits of using automation and then outline how these benefits align to your corporate strategy.

Organization Create an organizational design that supports the delivery of your RPA capability, and aligns with your corporate strategy.

Governance and pipeline Select the best processes for the RPA pipeline, so the business realizes the full benefit of this investment in automation technology.

Delivery methodology Optimise your delivery strategy and embed policies for efficient delivery of processes – in a structured, controlled and repeatable manner.

Service model Set up an engagement model that supports your operational processes, while defining the management, reporting, scheduling and referral handling processes needed for ‘business as usual’.

People Outline the roles and responsibilities, support the selection of candidates for all roles and define the training/mentoring approach for the Blue Prism delivery and support teams.

Technology Build a highly scalable and maintainable technical architecture, and associated strategies, to make sure your operating environment is set up to deliver the maximum business benefit.
