Company’s enterprise Robotic Process Automation
(RPA) software acknowledged as key technology driving business
transformation and innovation
Blue Prism, the company delivering the world’s most successful
digital workforce, this week was named to the MIT Technology
Review’s 50 Smartest Companies 2017. Compiled annually by the
esteemed publication’s editors, the list recognizes companies
globally with the most innovative technology and effective business
models. Blue Prism is undergoing tremendous growth and customer
adoption, including a 3x increase in enterprise customer deals for
its leading Robotic Process Automation (RPA) platform in the first
half of the year.
“We are delighted to have been recognized as one of the world’s
smartest companies, along with innovative companies like SpaceX,
Amazon, Tesla, Apple, Salesforce, Alibaba and Facebook,” said
Alastair Bathgate, Blue Prism CEO. “Our ambition has always been to
deliver innovative technology through the most effective business
model, so to have been recognized by such a prestigious and
influential body as the MIT Technology Review is particularly
pleasing.”
As MIT Technology Review notes, “If companies could hand off
their mundane administrative tasks to software robots, employees
could focus on higher-level work. That’s Blue Prism’s pitch, and an
increasing number of companies—in finance, health care, law, and
other industries—are receptive. Blue Prism’s ‘Robotic Process
Automation’ software mimics the way humans complete rules-based
tasks, such as manually entering data from a paper form into a
database. The U.K.-based firm recently expanded its U.S. and
Australian operations and signed partnerships with Accenture and
IBM.” Blue Prism is only one of two U.K.-based companies to make
the list.
The mission of MIT Technology Review is to equip its audiences
with the intelligence to understand a world shaped by technology.
Accordingly, MIT Technology Review Editor David Rotman explains in
the list’s accompanying article It Pays to be Smart, “The list is
our best guess as to which firms will be the dominant companies of
the future. Amazon and Facebook and Google are on it, but so are
plenty of newcomers. Though they might be unfamiliar to you today,
we believe they have an inside track to take advantage of the
technologies, such as artificial intelligence, that will define
business in the coming years.”
