He said that Decipher has been designed in such a way that “you can plug products in from other vendors into the workflow.” Burnett: Look beyond RPA hypeĭespite talk that RPA is over hyped, Sarah Burnett, a guru on automation technologies, says that it can cut process costs by 30%, but there is another benefit, not so obvious, and it lies with creating data we can trust How will Decipher affect the relationship with Abbyy, asked Sarah Burnett, distinguished analyst at Everest Group at the press and analyst conference accompanying the Blue Prism World event? “As a company, we don’t want to go and re-invent lots of technologies just so that we can say we do this stuff,” responded Dave Moss, Blue Prism’s CTO. But Blue Prism also works closely with OCR company Abbyy. In this way so called digital workers will be able to input invoices into accounts payable and then match the invoices to outstanding purchase orders…seamlessly” says Blue Prism.ĭecipher is OCR software with an AI twist, or maybe, a bit more than a mere twist. The product says Blue Prism “adds AI-powered document processing directly built-in to the Blue Prism platform.”įor example: Decipher will, we are told, be pre-trained and optimised to work with inbound invoices. And now that the big RPA players have raised over a billion dollars between them, the resource is there to start releasing some serious products.īlue Prism’s Decipher, is an example. The RPA hype was about promise/potential. Maybe though, the accusations of hype miss a trick. Not that there was a lack of glitz at the latest Blue Prism World event, complete with blue lighting, a conference room big enough for a rock concert, and a crowd of delegates that could have gone some way to filling a football stadium. After all, goes the implication, the other players are responsible for the over-hype, while it quietly gets on with the job. An accusation that Blue Prism, with its focus on unattended RPA, what it might call proper RPA, is not necessarily keen to deny. Inevitably, given such rapid growth, the industry has been subjected to charges that it offers little more than hype. An industry that has big ideas - both Automation Anywhere and UiPath claim to be the fastest growing enterprise software company in history. There is one other difference, it hasn’t raised as much money as it’s two big rivals - even after the latest £100 million. It worries less about attended RPA, which is more like a personal assistant, something which it tends to dismiss as robotic desktop automation - RDA - and not proper RPA at all. Blue Prism focuses on RPA as a tool for helping automate processes - typically sitting in the back office, what is known as unattended RPA. It is the older of the three, indeed the acronym RPA, which stands for Robotics Process Automation, was invented by Blue Prism’s chief evangelist, Pat Geary.
