Blue Prism is a set of tools, libraries, and run time environments for automating business processes through presentation integration.

 Blue Prism lets business analysts and developers create visual business objects, define processes that use those objects, track the execution of those processes, and more.

Blue Prism has built-in support for connecting to various kinds of application user interfaces, including browser-based HTML interfaces, Windows interfaces, mainframe applications accessed via terminals, and interfaces built using Java. Whatever the interface technology, the adapter used to connect to an application is called a visual business object (VBO). Each VBO implements a particular set of operations against an applicationâ??s user interface. For example, a VBO might be capable of logging in to an application, entering a customer name into a particular screen, retrieving a result, then logging off. A developer or business analyst uses Blue Prismâ??s Object Studio to create these objects graphicallyâ??writing code isnâ??t required.

Each VBO exposes its operations to a Blue Prism process. To create a Blue Prism process, a developer or business analyst uses Blue Prismâ??s Process Studio. This tool lets its user graphically define the steps in the process, each of which invokes operations in VBOs to interact with an application. Once again, writing code isnâ??t required. In a very real sense, a Blue Prism process acts like a human user accessing each application to carry out the business process.
