The New Year brings with it a fascinating period for SS&C Blue Prism. Following extraordinary work put in throughout 2022, not only has the team achieved bringing SS&C Technologies and SS&C Blue Prism together but it has produced the most comprehensive suite of intelligent automation (IA) and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) technologies in the market.

This has been reflected in the success of our customers throughout 2022 and the immense transformational value we’re seeing it deliver for them. Building on a momentous year of developments and customer outcomes, our vision remains a constant focus in 2023 – to change how people work and interact for the better.

Automation Is Helping the Industry Drive Sustainable Goals

With the automation market also showing no signs of slowing down, we know the demand for high-quality, intuitive, and effective automation capabilities is as high as ever. In fact, in a recent IDC survey of over 700 organizations worldwide, over 60% reported that they are prioritizing increased investments in automation and augmentation technologies to handle more complex tasks.

While the demand for intelligent automation technologies continues at pace, it’s important to note that the mindset around this innovative technology is also shifting. SS&C Blue Prism is seeing more customers realize the full power of intelligent automation through strategic implementation. Organizations are benefitting from scaling automation to target key business objectives. Instead of sticking to tactical, task-based automations, which provide limited value to the organization, we’re seeing organizations strategically targeting overall competitiveness, business growth, customer experience, employee satisfaction, increased quality and compliance, and so much more.

In an era of constant change and distraction, never has there been a more challenging time to get work done. Against this volatile backdrop, organizations are realizing intelligent automation can help them become nimbler, and scale their organization further, faster. It’s within this context of strategic implementation that we see intelligent automation driving the future of business.

This is where business leaders and digital leaders play an integral role in driving the future of the organization. We support these change agents, innovators, and those who want to make their mark on the world. By advancing the adoption of intelligent automation across the enterprise, together we can evolve the future of work and promote the careers and potential of everyone.
