Introduction to Blue prism and uses of RPA.

Blue prism is a UK-Based Software Company and is one of the leading robotic process automation tools. It's used to automate mundane tasks such that they could operate without any manual intervention. Blue prism has gained an edge over its competitors as it has better security, flexibility, scalability, compliance, and resilience. Blue Prism Training is targeted at beginners in RPA and gives you a basic understanding of the tool from where it could be taken to an advanced level of expertise.

The following are the uses of RPA −

Dual data entry scenarios

Data manually entered in one system needn't be re-entered into another system. RPA replaces such dual human effort since invoices are indexed in the workflow so manually re-entered in ERP.

Straight-through processing

Inputs arriving from various systems like web pages for customer orders, workflow for invoices, emails, or Excel files must be entered into ERP. However, if the input is clean and the rules are well laid out that data entries are often done through RPA.

Virtual integration between different systems

Standalone, Legacy, ERP, or workflow systems often don't communicate with one another, and integrating them would cost millions of dollars and precious IT time, RPA can provide lightweight integration connecting disparate systems at the user interface level.

Responding to data extraction and responding requests

When data and report requests come from multiple process owners, vendors, and even end customers, employees log into a system to extract the data, format it, and send an email to the requestor. RPA lends itself well to such rule-based tasks.

Rule-based decision-making

RPA can execute decision-based tasks provided the rules driving those decisions are well laid out. For instance, on an invoice coming from a utility vendor, RPA can change payment terms to "immediate" from whatever is on the invoice.
