With the increased popularity of RPA comes a multitude of products that offer robotic process automation solutions. The tool used in this book is Blue Prism. Blue Prism was founded on July 16, 2001 by a group of process automation experts, and has its headquarters in the United Kingdom. It has been well received, with hundreds of companies (a number that is growing rapidly) around the world adopting Blue Prism as their robotic software of choice.
In this chapter, we will take a look at Blue Prism and use it to build our very first process. Here's what we will be doing:
- Learning how to launch the Blue Prism interactive client
- Using Studio to create our very first process
- Editing the process by giving the robot instructions to follow
- Renaming and saving the process
- And finally, running the process for the first time
