Blue Prism introduces Blue Prism Process Intelligence Powered by ABBYY Timeline
What are we launching?
Blue Prism has announced today something we have been planning for a long time, a native process and task mining solution out of the box, called Blue Prism Process Intelligence. We do not want our customers to compromise in this important space in hyperautomation, whilst we iterate in a development cycle, so we have decided to OEM the industry leading mining solution straight out of the gate as part of our mining product strategy, ABBYY Timeline v5.1. This new capability is part of Blue Prism’s all-inclusive license offering; if you pay for support, you have access to Blue Prism Process Intelligence, it’s as simple as that.
Why ABBYY Timeline?
Blue Prism Process Intelligence powered by ABBYY Timeline offers a single solution that provides a holistic macro (process mining) and micro (task mining) level view of an end-to-end process, including branching paths and all relevant data needed to make an informed decision on automation candidacy. Blue Prism’s new product contains all market leading functionality within Timeline, including all analysis capability, and a machine learning based approach to process mapping, while providing unique direct blue prism product portfolio integrations.
ABBYY is excited to be working with Blue Prism to jointly offer an integrated platform supporting best-of-breed automation capabilities in terms of visualizing and understanding a process, finding the best automation candidates, simplifying the creation of new automations, and managing and monitoring the end-to-end process. The combination of the capabilities from Blue Prism and ABBYY provide an unprecedented speed to automation as well as visibility and control of the automated process.”Richard Rabin Product Marketing Manager, Process Intelligence, ABBYY
How will it integrate into the portfolio?
Launching with a direct integration with Blue Prism Capture, our customers can now go rapidly from industrialization of processes utilizing Process Intelligence, to a Blue Prism process skeleton, in just a few clicks. We are offering customers multiple routes to do this, based on their operating model, a customer can go straight from Process Intelligence (mine and discover), to Capture (define and optimize), to a BP release file, containing process and object skeletons, ready to open within the Design Studio. Customers who want to use the Automation Lifecycle Management (ALM) tech stack, can also import the process from Capture into ALM Process Definition, thanks to the seamless integration between the two products launched in September ALM 4.4.

What's the long-term strategy?
Blue Prism and ABBYY have a plan of significant future investment into Blue Prism Process Intelligence, with the aim of being the most complete mining solution for RPA customers and automation teams.
