Blue Prism's digital workers prove an invaluable source of
help during the global health crisis
LONDON and AUSTIN,
Texas, March 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- For the past
year, Blue Prism®, a global leader in intelligent automation, has
donated resources to those most in need during the pandemic as part
of its COVID-19 Response Program. COVID-19 struck
industries quickly and with force and it was imperative that
solutions were deployed rapidly to meet the challenges head on.
Blue Prism's AI-powered robots have been at the forefront of
this effort. By relieving humans from resource-heavy and
time-consuming processes, Blue Prism technology has
enabled workers to focus on what really matters - high value,
customer-centric care. Helping organizations across 14
industries so far, the program has been instrumental in keeping
health workers stay safe with PPP supplies, helping small
businesses stay afloat and people keep their jobs through
accelerating loan applications, making it easier to record and
report on essential statistics and in facilitating the remarkable
effort to get vaccines in arms.
"From supporting front line health workers to maintaining
business continuity in uncertain times, we are honored to have been
able to give something back. Providing support through technology
was an obvious way for us to help during this crisis, as we
transitioned online to cope with the challenges that we all
faced." says Jon
Theuerkauf, chief customer strategy &
transformation officer, Blue Prism.
The Response Program has donated more than 500
licenses, with a value of more than £4m worth of software, to help
organizations under strain become more efficient and capable in
handling the operational challenges they face. On average, across
more than 60 projects, 8,000 hours have been saved by these
organizations (equating to more than three years in human hours
worked) per project, representing millions of pounds of financial
return.
Through the donation of digital worker software licenses and
services, organizations, who lacked access or means to implement or
scale intelligent automation have been able to make use of
best-in-breed technology or extend their existing services for free
to alleviate the impact of the pandemic.
"Blue Prism's free services allowed us to support even more
teams during the pandemic. We used additional Blue Prism
intelligent automation capacity to further alleviate our
administrative burden so that our Suffolk Short Breaks team had
more time in the field, helping families who needed support. The
response program helped us to help others, when they needed it
most." says Richard
Small, head of intelligent automation, Suffolk County
Council.
Blue Prism is still helping organizations by donating digital
worker licenses and services. Find out more about how
