Blue Prism Shines Among Top Three RPA Providers

When it comes to Robotic Process Automation, the three market leaders are Blue Prism, UIPath and Automation Anywhere. But that is where the similarities end. Let’s take a look at the benefits of RPA and then compare the three market leaders.

While most organizations cannot thrive without it, others continue to resist. But RPA is here to stay and here are the major business reasons:

Time-Saving – Robots are faster than humans, whether they are physical robots welding car doors or software bots processing paperwork. Companies save time deploying a digital workforce to perform mundane tasks, period.

Return on investment is greater – The overall cost of RPA is much less than hiring a human employee, not to mention managing and training one. Greater task output is evident as robots can function 24/7. No weekends, vacations or other benefits are required.

Customer satisfaction – The objective of any industry is a satisfied client base. Humans even when cautious, are error prone – it’s human nature! Thus, quality and error-free work is produced to provide 100% customer satisfaction.

Greater security – Often the organization outsource work to external agencies, which can pose a risk to the privacy and financial policies. There is no need to outsource with RPA.

Value-added work for employees – Instead of working on mundane tasks, employees can be channeled into more productive and mentally satisfying work.

Analytical feature – RPA are capable of analysis with their additional analytical features. Decision making is faster and more efficient.
