Access Next Generation

To log into Next Generation for the first time, you will receive an email with an invitation link. For administrators, SS&C Blue Prism creates your company account and invites you to the Next Generation platform. For other users, your user account is set up by your administrator. Both administrators and users are required to activate their accounts before getting started with Next Generation.

Activate your Next Generation user account

Once invited by SS&C Blue Prism or your administrator, you'll receive an invitation email from no‑[email protected] inviting you to activate your account.

  1. In the email, click Activate user.

    The User activation page displays, where you can set your password.

    The activation link is only valid for 24 hours. If the link does not work, ask your administrator to resend the invitation.

  2. Enter your new password, and click Update password.

  3. Once your password has been successfully set up, click Log in. Your username is the email address where you received your initial Next Generation invitation.

Following this, you will receive a welcome email confirming that you have activated your account and set up your password. This email contains a link to your Next Generation platform, and it is suggested that you bookmark this URL for subsequent access. The email also contains links to resources to help you get started with Next Generation.

Getting started with Next Generation

Once you are logged in, you can start your intelligent automation journey. Next Generation consists of the following components

  • Platform – Manage the details of your account, including users and their roles, and audit logging.
