Fujitsu and Blue Prism unlock
transformational benefits of RPA
/////////////////////////////
F
ujitsu is providing enterprises with
easier access to the transformational
benefits of Robotic Process
Automation (RPA), thanks to a new
alliance with Blue Prism. Fujitsu will support
customers’ RPA implementations by
applying its RPA-as-a-Service, AI, cloud
services and other cutting-edge technologies
to Blue Prism’s market-leading RPA software.
RPA refers to the advanced technologies
that can be programmed to perform
tasks that previously required human
intervention. Also known as smart
automation or intelligent automation, it
comprises a variety of fast and unobtrusive
software robot technologies that are
deployed to automate many day-to-day
business processes. It enables businesses
to save money and increase efficiency by
unburdening employees from monotonous,
repetitive tasks, while at the same time
helping to enhance customer satisfaction
by avoiding delays and human error,
leveraging best-of-breed solutions within a
proven methodology.
Fujitsu enables customers to reap the
benefits of RPA via a flexible pay-as-you-go
‘as-a-service’ approach. This strengthened
relationship expands Fujitsu’s offering by
establishing a common framework with
Blue Prism for the planning, implementation
and operation of customer projects through
its technical RPA experts based in Fujitsu’s
Global Delivery Centers (GDCs). The
Fujitsu GDCs have engaged experienced
and certified Blue Prism architects, project
managers and developers who are already
supporting customer engagements of all
sizes and levels of complexity.
Additionally, Fujitsu has extensive experience
with AI deployments and is working with
Blue Prism to help develop AI-based
solutions to customer challenges using
the Blue Prism RPA platform. The solutions
comprise a range of capabilities from
intelligent chat-bots to optical character
recognition. The collaboration will also
see Fujitsu develop a cloud-based Blue
Prism service, to offer customers additional
flexibility in terms of service delivery.
Jan Bache, Head of the RPA Center of
Excellence at Fujitsu EMEIA, said: “Leading
analyst house, Gartner, describes RPA as
a game-changer thanks to its reasonable
costs compared to full-time employees and
its ability to work 24/7/365 with no human
errors if programmed correctly. By deepening
our relationship with Blue Prism, we are
giving our large enterprise customers access
to a highly scalable and [a] stable platform
that reliably delivers the cost, efficiency and
service quality benefits of RPA.”
Martin Flood, Blue Prism’s Chief Revenue
Officer, commented: “Establishing even
stronger links with Fujitsu advances our
abilities to deliver the benefits of our market-
leading RPA software to enterprise customers
who are seeking transformational change.
Fujitsu provides a unique combination
of global-scale systems integration
capabilities alongside powerful intellectual
property in advanced technologies such
as AI, which complement and enhance
Blue Prism’s advanced intelligent
automation capabilities.” n
