International Friendship Day is a day to make new friends and group your social and professional network! To celebrate today we've asked employees across the SS&C Blue Prism business to answer some questions to introduce themselves to the Community.

The first employee we are introducing is James McClintock, Manager, Transformation & Automation Program Lead. James can often be found in our London office, he is part of our COE (Centre of Excellence) team that looks after the Communities Digital Workers!  

How long have you worked at SS&C Blue Prism:  
‘I have worked at Blue Prism now for just over 4 years.’ 

Which department do you work in:  
'I work in our Internal RPA Team leading the program to deploy Intelligent Automation across SS&C.’

What is the best part of your job?  
‘The best part of my job is being able to enable, educate, and empower people to use Intelligent Automation and a Digital Workforce to its fullest capability to improve their overall wellbeing at work. The feeling of taking someone through the change journey, from being scared and confused by automation to realizing its full potential is captivating. From removing worries about organization and deadlines in jobs where creativity should be the focus to allowing legal professionals the opportunity to push the boundaries of their work, it’s what motivates me. My goal is that in the future, someone’s work is dedicated to demonstrating the capabilities that bring them the most purpose, autonomy, and mastery at work; where all the boring bureaucracy of an organization is a distant memory.’  

What do you think about James’s favorite part of his job? Is this something you can also relate to as passionate Blue Prism users? Let us know in the comments!
  

The next answers are coming from the Head of Customer Support in the Americas, Mohammed Ali.

‘5 years, 6 months and counting.’  

Which department do you work in:

‘Weekly Game Hour where we play Jackbox games virtually. Optional Daily Morning Meeting (30 mins) where non-work related items are discussed.  Hobbies, gaming, sports, movies, etc. Quarterly Team Building activities with a virtual lunch.’  
What is the best part of your job?  
'My team!  Every single member of the team is equally valuable and brings a unique skill set to the table to help our customers with Product-related issues.  We have more of a partnership culture rather than an employee/employer relationship.’  
Anything else you would like to add about working at SS&C Blue Prism?  
‘I love working at this company due to the great people and the technology.  Prior to joining Blue Prism, I had no idea what RPA was, but today I don't see an enterprise being able to transform the way it works without it.’ 
What do you think of the activities Mohammed does with his team? Do you organize something similar for your team? Let us know!
