SS&C BLUE PRISM

Blue Prism digital workers, built to standard.

We build and support Blue Prism processes and objects for regulated estates. Strict object reuse, disciplined work queues and releases that pass audit.

OUR VIEW OF THE PLATFORM

Structured, controlled and deliberate.

Blue Prism separates process logic from application interaction. Processes are built in Process Studio. Application logic lives in reusable Visual Business Objects built in Object Studio. Digital workers run from a central server with work queues, schedules and a full audit trail. Banks, insurers and other regulated organisations value that control.

The structure that makes it auditable also makes it slower to start. Developers with deep Blue Prism experience are harder to hire. Estates that skipped object design end up with duplicated VBOs and brittle Application Modeller definitions. We fix that with a shared object catalogue, naming standards and release discipline.

Fits well.

Regulated, high-control estates with strict release and segregation-of-duties rules.

Fits with care.

Fast-moving pilots, where the set-up overhead can slow the first release.

Watch closely.

Object sprawl and skills concentration in one or two developers.

WHAT WE BUILD ON IT

What we build on Blue Prism.

Work queue processes

Processes that get next item, work it and mark it complete or exception, with tags, priorities and deferred retries.

01

Reusable object libraries

One VBO per application with atomic actions, clear inputs and outputs, and Application Modeller elements that resist UI drift.

02

Decipher IDP pipelines

Document capture, classification and extraction with verification steps before data enters a work queue.

03

Web API and service integration

Web API services and code stages for REST calls, so digital workers update systems through interfaces where possible.

04

Estate stabilisation

Exception analysis, object refactoring and environment locking fixes for estates with rising failure rates.

05

Release and environment management

Release packages, environment promotion and credential manager set-up aligned to your change control.

ENGINEERING STANDARDS

Standards we apply on Blue Prism.

  • One object per application, with no business logic inside objects
  • Atomic actions that each start and end in a known application state
  • Every work queue item tagged with a business key for reporting and dedupe
  • Business and system exceptions raised with distinct types and retry rules
  • Credentials held in Credential Manager with role-based access only
  • Environment locks around shared resources such as single-session applications
  • Session log levels tuned to keep sensitive data out of logs
  • Release packages with change records, peer review and rollback plans
  • Object catalogue kept current so new processes reuse before they rebuild
HOW AN ENGAGEMENT RUNS

Controlled from design to release.

01

Assess

Review the PDD, existing objects and queue design, and agree reuse targets.

02

Design

Produce the SDD with object map, queue configuration and exception model.

03

Build

Build objects first, test them in isolation, then assemble the process.

04

Release

Package, peer review and promote through your change control with UAT evidence.

05

Hypercare

Monitor sessions and queues, tune waits and hand over the runbook.

FAQ

Questions we hear first.

Can't see yours? Ask an automation architect

Our Blue Prism estate has grown untidy. Can you help?

Yes. We audit objects and processes, merge duplicate VBOs, standardise exception handling and fix the processes with the highest failure rates first.

Can Blue Prism call AI and LLM services?

Yes, through Web API services or code stages. We add masking, output validation and a human verification step for low-confidence results.

Do you help with Blue Prism skills shortages?

We provide developers through staff augmentation or dedicated pods, and run structured knowledge transfer to your team.

Can you migrate from Blue Prism to another platform?

We can assess and run a migration if the business case holds. We also help teams decide to stay, since migration cost is often underestimated.
