Last month at Blue Prism World Virtual we hosted three virtual 24H Challenges for global teams to work together and design the best process possible using Blue Prism.
The Challenges were saw a total of 28 teams and 120 registered participants. Open to both our customers and partners, this year we had the pleasure of offering some of our latest releases as well as consolidated products in our Challenges, including Interact, Decision and Desktop.
During the Challenges, teams had access to the Blue Prism environment for a total 24 hours over a week to submit their solution.
