Blue Prism Hub (Hub) serves as the interface for the management of automation lifecycles, acting as a productivity tool for a company’s Center of Excellence (CoE) so organizations can Identify, Scope, Design, Build, Test, Deploy and Operate enterprise process automations.
Hub’s business-friendly interface and control room environment gives organizations access and insight into their process automation landscape – including digital worker utilization and performance and the ability to support CoE roles and responsibilities in guiding successful and scalable outcomes. Hub can also be accessed anywhere there is an internet connection and is designed with end-user security in mind.
Standalone product, flexible deployment options
Hub was previously only available as part of the comprehensive Blue Prism Cloud Platform – a turnkey PaaS-based intelligent automation platform that accelerates speed to value and simplifies scaling. Today, organizations can access Hub – along with IADA® and Interact – as a separate component to complement and enhance on-premises, hybrid, and hosted instances of Blue Prism.
Competitive advantages
As the starting point for many roles in the setup of new processes and functionality, Hub allows companies to both develop and oversee their digital workforce. Through a clear and configurable dashboard, Hub gives instant access into all automated processes running on the platform from insight into your process exceptions to the utilization rate of digital workers. Hub empowers your CoE with the right information that allow them to fulfill their roles and support overall digital workforce strategy.
Hub users also get access to Wireframer, a powerful process automation design tool that autonomously builds out the core process structure, ensuring that the appropriate controls are in place for everything from application interaction to exception handling.
