Blue Prism has announced a new release of its Digital Workforce platform that includes features delivering secure Multi-Team Environments (MTE), native support for Google Chrome and a new Microsoft Outlook E-mail Visual Business Object (VBO).

Innovations in Blue Prism v6.3 deliver granular control and auditability. Prior to MTE, users would have to support separation of duties across departments with duplicate objects in multiple environments, as is the case with most RPA solutions today.

The new version eliminates having to move objects to multiple locations, and by enabling objects to be shared or secured within or across teams, v6.3 significantly improves manageability and lowers the total cost of ownership. 

“As more mainstream enterprises adopt and expand on their RPA initiatives they seek technology that can provide varying degrees of access and permissions, natively protects against growing security and compliance mandates and advances their digital transformation efforts with innovations in intelligent automation,” said Dave Moss, Blue Prism co-founder and Chief Technology Officer.

“The ability to deliver an intelligent, connected and easy to control digital workforce is a true game changer. With this latest release we’ve added greater control, flexibility, scalability and security to our platform that makes the process of sharing resources across multiple business units easier and more secure.”

New capabilities include:

• Native Google Chrome support which expands opportunities for automation. Enterprise users can now directly automate the Chrome browser in a purpose-built solution. This allows RPA to be used to automate web pages and applications that are best displayed/designed to work in Chrome, including internal web-based apps that are hosted in the browser. The Blue Prism Application Modeller wizard has also been updated with a new additional Browser-based Application (Chrome) application mode that enables Chrome elements to be spied and used within Business Objects.
• New Microsoft Outlook Email VBO democratizes AI across the enterprise. Users can easily automate any email process that used Outlook as its foundation. It provides several actions for processing emails within Outlook such as sending, deleting, retrieving, and saving emails and attachments. This new VBO provides drag-and-drop simplicity to email automation within business processes.
