LONDON & MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Leading developer of robotic process automation software Blue Prism today announced that it has formed a strategic partnership with Sutherland Innovation Labs, part of global provider of business process and technology management services Sutherland Global Services, to drive widespread adoption of robotic process automation (RPA) within the business process outsourcing (BPO) market. Leveraging Blue Prism technology to expedite key F&A, order management and human resources functions, Sutherland is spearheading mass acceptance of RPA by demonstrating its ability to deliver innovative solutions that fuel operational efficiency while reducing costs.

Leading this trend, Sutherland sought a partner with a proven track record to not only help automate core processes, but also monitor risk and manage compliance to auditing codes.
“This partnership positions Sutherland at the forefront of robotic process automation in the BPO sector,” said Jan Ulrich, Chief Delivery Officer, Sutherland Global Services. “BPO clients are always looking for innovation and impact from their service partners, and with the Blue Prism partnership and our expanding RPA capabilities, Sutherland’s ability to add significant value and differentiation to our clients is in a league of its own.”
"We are delighted to partner with Sutherland and work together to pioneer the robotic automation market within the BPO sector,” said Alastair Bathgate, CEO of Blue Prism. “There is tremendous potential for increased productivity and massive savings in this space, and we are excited to play an integral role in helping to realize those opportunities.”
