LONDON, AUSTIN TX – September 18, 2019 — To further support Robotic Process Automation (RPA) learning, collaboration and innovation, Blue Prism (AIM: PRSM), today announced the launch of two cutting-edge initiatives—Blue Prism University and Learning Edition.

Blue Prism University is an online learning platform, available to all, that supports self-study, on-demand and in-person training on RPA basics and advanced topics—including the Blue Prism Foundation.
