Why BluePrism is the best of RPA ??

Why BluePrism is the best of RPA ??
Why Blue Prism is best of RPA ??
Currently Blueprism, Automation Anywhere and UI path are the leading vendors of Robotic Process Automation.


As per Forrester Wave 2017 Q1 report the stats are..

RPA Tools:

· Blue Prism
· Automation Anywhere
· UiPath
· Epiance
· Infosys
· Jacada
· Kryon Systems
· Lexmark (Kofax Kapow)
· Nice
· OpenConnect
· Pegasystems(Openspan)
· Redwood Software
· Verint

They have enhanced their products to include
1. OCR features (even though I haven’t personally experienced it’s efficiency when it comes to handwritten documents)
2. Orchestratetors to operationally manage and monitor of bots in production environment
3. Ability to deploy multiple bots in single VMs
4. Cognitive capability (Machine Learning and NLP - I haven’t yet explored this capability, based on the feedback I got from my colleages it is limited)
5. Single bots (script) performing multiple tasks based on time schedule and work in queue
The actual & very striking difference that I see is in the commercial models. Blue Prism is very expensive in comparison to other products. There is a scope for the RPA providers to come up with different commercial models based on the client 

Why IBM is looking smart to buy Blue Prism ??
Watson alone is not going to do it for IBM in the Intelligent Automation space. IBM needs an RPA offering as the first building block along the Intelligent Automation Continuum. Pushing RPA onto more clients will also open up the Watson conversation as a logical next step for many clients.
A Blue Prism + Watson platform could create a whole new ecosystem of possibilities. Adding Watson's cognitive capabilities to Blue Prism would create a real differentiator in the Intelligent Automation domain - you would end up with a whole new ecosystem of services and capabilities for enterprises across automation, predictive analytics and cognitive computing.


IBM needs to focus on becoming the leader in industry-centric Automation/Cognitive services. This is where IBM can really make its future mark in 2020-and-beyond enterprise services.  There are limitless possibilities with the potential of artificial intelligence in industries such as healthcare, manufacturing and retail. Simply providing a cognitive engine is not enough - IBM needs to build leading-edge business practices around it. It is doing some very cool stuff in healthcare and medical research, for example, but I believe it can do so much more to help enterprises streamline their processes and act on realtime data, with a defined Intelligent Automation roadmap.
A genuine RPA underbelly for enterprises. IBM can position Blue Prism as a true enterprise RPA platform, as opposed to a mere robotics tool for specific processes. It's one thing tightening up a few loose parts, another entirely, when you overhaul the engine…
So I believe BluePrism could be the best of RPA !!

Robotic Process Automation - Blue Prism Interview Questions

September 26, 2017 67
Robotic Process Automation - Blue Prism Interview Questions
What do u know about blueprism?
   Blueprism is one of the tools used to automate web and windows applications

2.How do you automate a Web based application using blueprism?
   While Creating objects,we need to select the web application of the object and we need to spy the elements using modes in AM   (Application modeller)

3.How do you automate a Citrix based application using blueprism?
   By using surface automation,we can automate the citrix application using region mode

4.Tell me about OCR concept used in Blueprism?
   OPtical character recognition(ocr),this is the concept which we used to spy or read some difficult characters which are we can't    able to  spy with normal mode

5.Tell me about the blueprism infrastructure?
   
    five tabs  -  Home:        To see the work force availability,total automations
                 Studio:       This is to create the processes
                 Control room: run processes through control room
                 Dash board:   To see the reports
                 Releases:     To export and import the files
                 System:       Create the queues and variables

6.Tell me about the blueprism tiles?
   In the Blueprism,Tile is nothing but the library where we can see the Total Automations,Workforce availability and 
   Average handling time

7.Tell me about Exception types?
   Exception types- validation,system and Business Exception

8.What is the use of environmental variables?
   While running a process,if u want to pass any inputs or variables,we need the Environment variables to be created in system.

9.How do you call a webservices in Blueprism?
   we can call through application modeller in object studio.

10.How do you call an external object in blueprism?
    In action stage,we need to call the external object.

11.Tell me about surface automation technique?


    Surface automation can be donewith region mode to handle the thin clients.

12.What is the use of alert stage?
    Whwn an alert stage is executed,it sends the specific messages to the users.

13.What is the use of blocks?
   By using block stage,we can use more than one recovery stage in one action stage.

14.What is the difference between Global Send Keys and Global Send key Events?
    Global send keys- Enter,control
    Global send key Events- (up,down,left,right arrows)

15.Tell me about the calculation stage?
    used to perform calculations

16.What is region mode?
   Have to spy the thin clients in region mode

17.Tell me about the various run modes in blueprism?
    Foreground mode,Background mode,Exclusive mode

18.Tell me about the exposure options available in data item?
    If u click the exposure option in Data item,it can be used to action stages.

19.List down the languages which we can use in Blueprism?
    c#,j#,VBscript

20.What is start up parameters?
    we can pass the variables in start parameters,which to help run the process in process studio.
