SS&C Blue Prism

SS&C Blue Prism is a robot automation tool that runs software robots, called digital workers, to repeat screen-based tasks, including on old systems that have no modern way to connect. Staff build robots visually in Process Studio and Object Studio without writing code, and a Control Room screen manages and schedules every digital worker. A feature called Decipher reads data out of scanned documents, and a new 2026 product, WorkHQ, ties AI agents, digital workers, and people into one system. It can run on your own servers or in a cloud version that holds ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certification. Its own website blocked our research tools, so confirm details directly.

This fits a company automating old, screen-based systems, like a mainframe, that other tools handle poorly, and one that already runs some digital workers and wants a well-controlled way to add more, more than a first automation project. Price is quote-only; outside estimates run from a few thousand dollars a year for a small setup to well over $100,000 for a large one, plus real setup cost in year one. Reviewers note a real learning curve and a history of weaker document reading compared to newer tools, though the 2026 AI update aims to close that gap. Ask for a test run against your own old systems before committing, since results vary a lot by system.
