Blue Prism announced an agreement to acquire Thoughtonomy in a sale that is expected to close by end of July. This acquisition joins the power of Blue Prism's connected-RPA platform with Thoughtonomy's SaaS capabilities. The core of Thoughtonomy's solution has been Blue Prism since the company was founded in 2013. Consequently, Thoughtonomy internally built IP, along with ready-to-use interfaces around chatbots and web-forms through an embedded marketplace, are already built to work with Blue Prism and extend Blue Prism's existing IP and Digital Exchange.
Blue Prism can already deploy to clouds including AWS, Azure, Google, IBM Bluemix, Rackspace, and others. However, this acquisition will result in a turnkey SaaS offering, which is in high-demand during POC and mid-tier enterprises that Blue Prism has not historically addressed.
Blue Prism customers with an existing core Blue Prism infrastructure, may look to this new Azure-based SaaS offering for faster deployment in new divisions, regional installations, auto-scaling, and new commercial models.
Beyond the SaaS offering, integration of these Thoughtonomy developments across the entire Blue Prism connected-RPA platform should turn heads.
