AUSTIN, Texas, May 29, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CognitiveScale Inc., an Enterprise AI software pioneer, today announced it has joined the Blue Prism (AIM: PRSM) Technology Alliance Program (TAP). This alliance between CognitiveScale and Blue Prism will bring the power of open, scalable and trusted AI into RPA, driving Intelligent Process Automation (IPA) forward.
The IPA market is estimated to be worth USD 13.75 billion by 2023, largely fueled by the demand for automated systems that serve dynamic customer requirements, need for optimized resource utilization and enhanced decision-making, and increased investments for digital transformation of organizations. The business process automation segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
As part of the collaboration, CognitiveScale’s Amplify AI product suite will be available on Blue Prism’s Digital Exchange (DX) platform starting with the ‘Process Insights Agent.’ The Process Insights Agent automatically and transparently extracts, interprets, and unlocks knowledge and predictions in complex documents and business processes scaling human expertise and boosting productivity for core processes such as compliance, claims, underwriting, asset management, and digital procurement. Critical AI capabilities added within a Blue Prism Digital Worker as a result of the collaboration include named entity extraction, temporal topic modeling, optical character recognition, text extraction, document classification, explainability, and automated learning.
CognitiveScale will soon add its Engage AI product suite including the ‘Customer 360 Agent,’ which provides AI powered hyper-personalization and engagement, to Blue Prism’s DX. The Customer 360 Agent helps businesses bring together both transactional and experience data including multi-structured content like text, images, audio, and video to generate a unique profile of one. This unique profile of one can then be used to power hyper-personalized experiences, predictions, and offers with evidence to build user trust. The Customer 360 Agent can be built on top of most enterprise CRM, commerce, and transactional systems using a built-in library of 122 adapters and connectors and can be deployed on mobile devices, chat services, and IoT devices, with support for rich message formatting and API connectivity.
Blue Prism assets will also be available on CognitiveScale’s Cortex Marketplace, creating a larger ecosystem for enterprises seeking to achieve IPA to improve efficiencies and reduce costs.
Customer quote:
“A few years ago, I brought CognitiveScale and Blue Prism together in the course of work we were doing adding Artificial Intelligence to our payables automation program. AI plus RPA delivers true Intelligent Automation needed for complex processes. CognitiveScale and Blue Prism are long term key partners in our Intelligent Automation program as we are digitizing work, freeing up our teams to do much higher value work,” added Lee Coulter, CEO of Ascension Shared Services.
Analyst quote:
"Despite offering the technical capability and the real advantage of breathing life into legacy systems and processes, standalone RPA hasn’t inspired enterprises to rewire their business processes – it’s really just helped them move data around the company faster and require less manual intervention. Our extensive research shows that business problems are not effectively solved by one stand-alone technology but by a combination of technologies, which is why a smart integration of RPA and AI is crucial for many of today's static RPA deployments to become part of a transformation journey. With Blue Prism's wealth of true, unattended RPA experience and CognitiveScale's exciting cognitive platform and process accelerators, we have a foundation for self-learning digital worker capability that adapts to enterprise needs and supports the evolution of digital business models," said Phil Fersht, CEO and Chief Analyst, HFS Research.
CognitiveScale and Blue Prism spokespersons quotes:
“Enterprises can unlock tremendous value from their RPA investments with AI,” said Akshay Sabhikhi, CEO of CognitiveScale. “This partnership will enable CognitiveScale and Blue Prism to bring IPA to life by revolutionizing customer engagement and enabling smarter, more efficient business processes.”
Talking about the collaboration, Linda Dotts, SVP Global Partner Strategy and Programs for Blue Prism, said, “RPA has evolved to become a key component in building out broader AI capabilities. We are heavily focused on solutions that will empower the digital workers to scale, learn and be more productive. This partnership is a step in that direction.”
