SS&C Blue Prism Recognized as a Leader in Robotic Process Automation, Q1 2023 Analyst Report

SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: SSNC) today announced SS&C Blue Prism has been named a “Leader” in The Forrester Wave: Robotic Process Automation, Q1 2023.

Evaluated among the 15 top vendors, SS&C Blue Prism received the highest possible scores in the criteria of vision; roadmap; pricing flexibility and transparency; partner ecosystem; security; bot deployment; low-code/no-code capabilities; design environment; and application control.

The report, authored by Dr. Bernard Schaffrik, principal analyst at Forrester, states, “Blue Prism was formerly known as an RPA pure play, but its acquisition by SS&C and subsequent increase in R&D investment have turned it into an automation platform that still leverages RPA as a core technology. It [SS&C Blue Prism] now approaches its customers’ automation needs from a business process perspective.” Further, the report states, “Strategically, SS&C Blue Prism plans to continue implementing its IP from the combination of the former SS&C and Blue Prism product sets in its joint platform to deliver a best-in-class automation platform.”

According to the report, “We appreciate the existing degree of integration of RPA-adjacent technologies such as low-code development, business rules editing, intelligent document processing (IDP), and data integration with RPA on one platform. Process mapping and orchestration features coming from the Chorus product will help automation teams extend RPA bots and low-code apps to automate more-complex processes and not just tasks.” The report also notes, “Chorus users will appreciate the additional RPA capability set, while automation decision-makers, especially from the financial services industries, might want to pick the platform for its focus on process automation, security, reliability, and scalability.

Bill Stone, Chairman and CEO of SS&C Technologies, commented: “We believe being recognized by Forrester as a Leader in RPA is a testament to the hard work and dedication across the SS&C Blue Prism team. Our comprehensive intelligent automation offering will continue to deliver significant transformational value for our customers as our vision remains a constant focus in 2023 – to improve how people work and interact.”
