[AmyTsaousi]

We're delighted to announce the general availability of exciting new capabilities to help you explore new use cases and add value to your business. Achieve more through intelligent automation by consuming our latest updates, which reduce development time and complexity while improving usability, and lower technical barriers for new developers, allowing them to build modern, robust and accurate application models. Connect people and digital workers in one collaborative team for the best possible outcomes. Some of the exciting new capabilities include: 

SS&C | Blue Prism® Enterprise 7.3  

• Native Citrix Virtual Apps and enhanced Citrix Virtual Desktops automation capabilities offer increased security and more flexibility when automating Citrix environments. 

• Improved flexibility, failover, and resilience of Active Directory integration in Blue Prism Enterprise through more granular configuration options and support for multiple Domain Name Controllers (DNCs) in a multi-forest/multi-domain environment. 

• Experience the Beta release of our Enhanced Application Modeller, which offers modernized and improved building of accurate and robust application models. 

• Introducing new Smart Vision spy mode, our latest Surface Automation technology for Application Modeller. Leverage our new no-code editor and AI-powered human-like vision to model application user interfaces to accelerate automation development, reduce maintenance, and improve robustness. 

  To utilize the new Smart Vision spy mode a Smart Vision enabled license is required. Smart Vision enabled licenses are expected to be available to customers from January 2024 onwards.

SS&C | Blue Prism® Desktop 1.2 

Desktop delivers the control, security, scalability, and auditability required to automate repetitive tasks, that must run on employee desktops, in real-time. 

Automations continue to be developed centrally, so customers have peace of mind from using the same Blue Prism design, build, and governance methodologies. 

Customers can efficiently manage their unattended and attended digital workforces in a single, secure environment, reducing infrastructure costs, lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO), and increasing efficiency, whilst expanding use cases and advancing their automation landscape. 

Release highlights: 

• Customers with Blue Prism Enterprise 7.3 and Desktop 1.2 can now design automations to run on the Desktop, and then pass data to an existing Blue Prism work queue, allowing tasks to transition easily from human to unattended digital workers. 

• With Desktop 1.2 we are introducing a new concurrent licensing model, supporting customers rolling out Desktop at scale, and increasing their return on investment.
