Question on: WorkHQ Platform
Will you be modifying my existing systems?
Infrastructure
It is a key design point of Blue Prism that we don’t change any of your underlying systems, as this is often complex and expensive to perform. Blue Prism gathers data and integrates processes at an abstracted level using a variety of techniques an interfaces that ensures underlying systems are not impacted.

Question on: WorkHQ Platform
What hardware infrastructure do I need to run Blue Prism's RPA platform?
Infrastructure
Blue Prism has been designed for flexibility and to meet the most robust IT standards for IT operational integrity, security, and supportability. The software can be deployed either as a front office or back office process, running quite happily on a standard desktop in the front office or on any scale of systems for back-office processing.

Question on: WorkHQ Platform
What systems can Blue Prism robotically integrate?
Usability
Blue Prism has incorporated many years of experience of integration and numerous technologies into its software. The technologies used are secure, reliable and robust. Instead of creating new adaptors for each unique application we have developed technology adaptors for all the technologies employed at the presentation layer, Java, Windows, Web, Green Screen/Mainframe and even Citrix.
This coupled with a wide range of dedicated tools that have been developed means that we are confident in being able to link any system with the click of a button. This proven application orchestration capability ensures that new processes can be rapidly designed, built and tested without any impact on existing systems.
