Transcript for "SS&C Blue Prism Agentic Automation Roadmap - Your New Modern Workforce - Session 2": Hello, everyone, and welcome to our spring twenty twenty six road map presentation. My name is Patrick Tine, and I'm the vice president for SS and C's intelligent automation products. Over the past several weeks, my teams have worked hard to bring you the latest version of our road map focused on building strong business outcomes for your organizations. During this road map presentation, you will hear our planned intentions for deliverables with both strategy and product enhancement detail. This is being provided for informational purposes only, and the information in this presentation is confidential and proprietary to SS and C and may not be disclosed without prior written consent. We make no guarantee of any kind regarding the road map and the timing of development, release, and implementation for any feature, product, or functionality, including upgrades, shall be decided at SS and C's sole discretion and is subject to change. Before we begin, I wanna go through a few housekeeping items. First, a recording of this event will be made available to everyone who registered for these webinars. You can resize and use reactions to send live feedback regarding the content that's being shared. And if you like what you see, please let us know. If you have any questions whatsoever at any point during the presentation, you can use the live q and a box on your screen to submit them to us as we have a team of product managers who are standing by and ready to answer your questions. And if we didn't have time to answer your question, we will make sure to follow-up privately after the webinar. So without further ado, we'll now take you to our roadmap. Thank you, Patrick, and hello, everyone. Thank you for taking the time to tune into our roadmap show. Today's session will be broken down over three sections, starting with our high level strategic direction, followed by the roadmap initiatives across SS and C Blue Prism Enterprise and Hub and SS and C Blue Prism WorkHQ. To get us started, we wanted to demonstrate our latest understanding of the automation market. The number of enterprise applications that your business relies on is growing and modern enterprises like yours leverage more than 100 applications as part of operating as a business. Connectivity to these systems is a non negotiable requirement. The role of AI agents are getting more amplified for automation use cases, be it attended or unattended, whilst governance, explainability, and predictability act as primary barriers of deployment to production. We also know that less than 1% of processes are today orchestrated by AI agents, highlighting the challenges of introducing probabilistic execution in mission critical processes. AI agents are still playing an augmentation role within the automation of end to end workforce. What you will hear from us in this session is our response to the presence of these six main problems faced by many of you today. The world around us is growing in complexity and having a disjointed IT, AI and automation program would not result in a scalable and efficient solution. Point to point integrations, dispersed agent footprint and automations will result in a higher maintenance cost and slow down the automation momentum. With AI agents bringing cognitive capabilities in your workflows, a mentality shift is required to optimize and re engineer your workflows to take advantage of these resources. With an ever increasing role of humans in the loop, it's essential to recognize that the traditional ways of leveraging no code, low code forms, apps and chat interfaces are not the only way to enable humans to participate in automations. Humans work across different specialized system and there is a need to meet them where work happens. Additionally, the way work is generated, triaged and handled is changing from traditional queue based processing to real time scalable execution. Hundreds of enterprise systems are generating events that often demand work to be processed without delay. Your automation capacity needs to flex as volume of work fluctuates. With more work being automated, you still need to have a tight grip on the governance of your entire automation program, including AI capabilities. Every decision and activity needs to be logged and remain explainable. Finally, you may already notice an increasing demand on accelerating and growing your automation programs. As more and more use cases pass the feasibility checks, your time to automation becomes a critical success factor. To set you up for success, our vision is a unified agentic automation platform, where digital workers, humans and AI agents work in harmony together to deliver enterprise value, meeting all of your governance and security needs. You will have the ability to choose the right tool at the right time for the right job, giving you the flexibility to match the unique skills offered by our capabilities with your operational needs. Following our global launch event, we are proud to introduce SS and C Blue Prism WorkHQ, marking the next step in your journey with us. What we're really doing here is shifting how automations are built and how they operate at scale. Reusability isn't a new concept for us. It's been a key differentiator for a long time. What WorkHQ does is extend the same composable model across every layer of execution. So now instead of isolated capabilities, you have a unified set of building blocks that can be combined and recombined to solve a much broader set of problems. At the same time, we're moving away from automations that wait to be told what to do. Instead, work becomes event driven. The moment something happens in your business, the right workflow kicks in automatically using the most appropriate resources available, whether that's digital workers, APIs or people. That's where you start to see real scale, not just in volume, but in responsiveness. And importantly, this isn't just about doing the same things faster. It's about expanding what's possible. WorkHQ sits within your existing enterprise landscape and connects across it, so you can go after more complex higher value use cases without being constrained by technology silos. Let's take a deeper dive into this ecosystem. At Monitoring and analytics are built in so you have a clear visibility into your operational activity. Alongside that, the marketplace provides access to reusable assets that can be leveraged to reduce time to automation. Through a set of built in connectors, this extends into both your enterprise systems and SS and C zone platforms, allowing work to be initiated and executed based on event driven triggers and API interactions. So rather than operating in isolation, your automation stack is coordinated as part of a broader connected system. Let's dive deeper in how this connectivity spans across your enterprise ecosystem. You can expect a wide range of systems to be within reach from cloud services, data and asset storage, communication platforms, to productivity and business apps. Depending on the industry you operate in, you will find useful integrations to systems you already use today. Your agents can be equipped with a wide range of models from leading AI providers, including SS and C AI Gateway to strengthen your governance posture for safe AI adoption. Our aim is to add hundreds of more connectors over the coming months, whilst enabling you to build custom integrations to any other system that needs to play a role in your workforce. Let's change gears and talk to you about our commitment to make your upgrade journey easier in Blue Prism Enterprise. In version 7.5, we introduced a new capability to enable backwards compatibility with selected historic versions of the software. This allows you to perform an in place upgrade without any operational disruptions. Your automations can continue to run on the previous version of the runtime resource. And once the regression tests are satisfied, you can simply swap them over to leverage the latest version of the runtime resource. This means you no longer need to double your infrastructure cost and focus more on growing your automation program instead. Over time with minor and patch releases of BPE, you will have backwards compatibility with a wider range of historic versions. In the digital worker space, we're also proud to introduce AI Navigator coming to Blue Prism Enterprise later this year. AI Navigator enables you to automate browser based applications using natural language, and we have taken a unique approach to make this a superior capability compared to competition. Once you describe your automation intent, we prioritize tech server vision to pass the web structure of your target application to our AI model. We then automatically generate the application model and object steps, so that the second time you run the automation, you can unlock robotic speed and rely on deterministic logic for running your automations. More on this later. Finally, we'd like to highlight our previous efforts in enabling you to run your Blue Prism enterprise digital workers alongside WorkHQ. You have the ability to create a digital twin of your Blue Prism enterprise environment in WorkHQ securely and orchestrate your digital workers with the native capabilities available in the platform. This is available to you as part of your license. There is no need to set up any new infrastructure or rely on third party solutions. This is an initiative that enables you to access our latest innovations on WorkHQ. With our strategic overview out of the way, I'd like to now hand it over to Rob to walk you through the roadmap items for Blue Prism enterprise and Hub. Thank you. Thanks, Omid. In this section, we'll take a quick look at what shipped recently across our on premise products before covering what updates are planned for Blue Prism, Enterprise, and Hub throughout the rest of 2026. Since our last webinar, there's been significant activity across this part of the portfolio. We've released three separate Blue Prism enterprise updates, version seven four two, seven five, and seven five one. The highlight of the seven five series is our new backward compatibility feature, which significantly reduces the risk and upfront cost associated with upgrading. In our most recent release of seven five one, this has been extended to now cover upgrades from six ten five, six ten six, and select seven one and seven two releases, providing a meaningful reduction in upgrade complexity. Support for additional versions is planned, and this will be delivered in the form of updates that will be compatible with seven five one and later releases. We've also shipped new releases for Blue Prism Capture, Decipher IDP, and Process Intelligence, each of which introduce enhancements over the previously available versions. Now we'll move on to future road map starting with Blue Prism enterprise. This is our core on premise RPA product and the foundation on which many of our customers run automations today. The roadmap for the rest of 2026 focuses on three areas, AI capabilities that augment automation design and improve execution resilience when applications behave unexpectedly, simplifying how the Blue Prism API is deployed and authenticated and tighter integration with WorkHQ. We'll go through each of those in the slides ahead. Our next Blue Prism enterprise release is version 7.6, which introduces AI navigator, our answer to enabling computer use for RPA use cases in a cost effective and practical way. Application models take time to build, and they can be easily impacted when applications change. With this capability, developers can instead write a natural language prompt that describes the interaction they want with the business application, and AI navigator will convert it into steps that can then be reviewed and incorporated into the automation. The approach is built for low token usage compared to a purely vision based method, so it's practical to run at scale. As the steps generated are converted into native Blue Prism process XML, they can be reviewed, refined, and incorporated into your standard automation estate and made available for reuse to avoid generating high ongoing token costs or introducing the latency that's needed to query a large language model in real time. If the defined steps failed to perform a specific interaction, AI navigator can also be invoked at runtime to determine what actions are needed based on prompts that are stored in the automation definition and can execute these steps to achieve the target outcome. We'll be releasing version seven six, which includes AI navigator for browser based applications in early q four, extending out to other application types in future releases. Alongside AI navigator, we have a few other features also being made available with Blue Prism enterprise seven six. First, we're making it possible to deploy the Blue Prism API without needing Hub's authentication server. This reduces infrastructure costs and simplifies deployment complexity for teams that aren't interested in using Hub or those who just want a simpler deployment footprint. Second, support for integrating with Entra ID for authentication. From version seven six onwards, customers can integrate their Blue Prism enterprise environments with EntraID to authenticate interactive clients and runtime resource users. Much like with traditional Active Directory integrations, administrators will be able to map Blue Prism user roles to intra ID security groups for automatic user provisioning and effective permission management. And finally, we'll be providing Blue Prism enterprise workers the option to interact with work queue items stored in work HQ, allowing customers to take advantage of the capabilities provided by our new platform and process the resulting output with their existing digital workforce. Listen out for more on these new capabilities later in this webinar where we'll cover the roadmaps for WorkHQ forms and agentic workflows. Blue Prism Hub is a lightweight, flexible framework with an extensive plug in architecture that enables products to seamlessly work alongside Blue Prism Enterprise, with Interact acting as one of the most heavily used plug ins, allowing for seamless real time collaboration between digital workers and humans. In June, we plan to release the next version of our hub and Interact products with version five two. This release was originally planned for late twenty twenty five, but was moved into this year to allow us to include support for dot net 10 ahead of an upcoming end of life event that will happen towards the end of the year. In this release, we introduce a new approach to managing data from multiple Blue Prism enterprise environments, which is common in complex organizations. Starting in version five two, users and service accounts can now be assigned to one or more access groups, which can be used to control the visibility of data from Blue Prism environments to users. This restricts the view of data across relevant hub plug ins, ensuring security and compliance. Interact will also receive several updates in the upcoming release of version five two. Through these updates, we'll be making it easier for clients to manage the data that users submit through Interact, providing a flexible, integrated solution for data retention and deletion. Retention periods can now be configured per Interact form with custom rules leveraged to amend default policies on a per submission basis should data entered by users introduce changes to retention requirements. In addition to improved data management, attachments submitted through Interact will now be encrypted to protect any sensitive information that may need to be captured as part of a business process. Now I'm going to hand over to Tom to cover the WorkHQ road map. Thanks, Rob. Now in this section, we're gonna be looking at our expanding SSSC Blue Prism WorkHQ portfolio. WorkHQ is not just the new name for Blue Prism Next Generation. It represents a seismic shift in what is possible with Blue Prism today. So we're gonna look at what has recently been launched as well as what you can look forward to throughout '26 and into 2027. Now over the last two years, SSC Blue Prism Next Generation has been powering RPA services for organizations of all sizes and shapes worldwide. And now we would like to introduce you to WorkHQ. It's the evolution of NextGen, going well beyond RPA and digital workers to become the single platform that coordinates people, automation, and AI across end to end workflows. Now the platform enables your fastest time to value. You can leapfrog intermediate upgrades, and you land directly on an always current cloud managed platform. You have a single platform for all automated work. There's no need to move between different tools or systems to build and to manage your digital workers, your API connections, and your AI agents. You can bring them all together operating seamlessly in joined up workflows. And you've got enterprise governance at the heart. WorkHQ is a platform with governance, compliance, and enterprise security at its core, which gives you the controls that you need for responsible AI and automation. Now WorkHQ brings together digital workers, human workers, systems, and AI agents into a single platform with a lightweight workflow layer that coordinates work across these different resources and unified monitoring and analytics that give you full operational visibility and control. With WorkHQ, you can use the right tool for the right task. Digital workers for reliable, repeatable work across all types of modern and legacy systems, bringing humans into the loop with built in work inbox and task allocation. And with our library of hundreds of API connectors, you can integrate seamlessly with enterprise systems. And finally, you can build and deploy tool equipped AI agents and cognitive capabilities into your workflows. This all sits on the same platform with enterprise access controls, governance, asset management, and audit all baked in. And with an embedded marketplace, you can leverage preexisting assets, connectors, blueprints, and agents to dramatically shorten your time to value. So let's see how that all comes together in the product. Blue Prism WorkHQ brings together all of these different capabilities in one single platform. Using the intuitive dashboard, you can see at a glance the status of your different workflows, your digital workers, and also any automation instance that might require your attention. And you've got easy access to marketplace assets that you can download and leverage to accelerate your automations, as well as comprehensive tutorials that will guide you through your use of the software. Now the new menu here reflects the WorkHQ structure of integrated agentic automation. At the top, we've got the agentic workflows where the studio allows you to build workflows that combine digital workers, AI agents, human input, and direction connection to systems. And in the agent space, you can build and configure reusable tool equipped AI agents and build and deploy MCP servers. You can browse the extensive list of connectors into leading enterprise systems. And also in the interaction space, you're able to build and deploy forms for your human workforce. The digital workers section is the home of the RPA capabilities, which lets you build RPA processes and to manage and configure your digital workforce. So the new workflow studio lets you create powerful automations with ease. Workflows start with a simple trigger, and that could be programmatic such as a workbook event, it could be a schedule, a human input such as a chat interaction or form. It could be an MCP call or perhaps an event occurring in a third party system which you connect to via a rich set of inbuilt connectors. Actions follow from a trigger, and you can link together multiple actions to form a complete end to end workflow, which pulls together all required resources. Now workflows can include a number of different stages. You could include AI stages to pass text or to structure outputs, as well as tool equipped agents that can be reused across multiple workflows. You can have decisioning or routing logic. Digital workers can exist as stages that leverage either existing automations or new RPA driven interactions. You can have human worker stages for routing work to get human review, and you can also introduce connectors that take action with third party systems. So not everyone is in the same place in their cloud journey. And instead of forcing a single model, we're gonna be meeting you where you are. Right now, if you're using the latest versions of Blue Prism Enterprise or cloud, you can already connect your digital workers to WorkHQ through Automation Orchestrator. That means that you can start leveraging both digital worker orchestration as well as our new agentic workflows functionality with your existing Blue Prism estate. Your digital workers and your automations stay where they are, while the digital worker orchestration, the workflows, and AI agents live in WorkHQ. And for customers who want more control over their digital workforce, including multi site operations and some WorkHQ exclusive features, you can host WorkHQ digital workers on premise while keeping design, operations, and management in the cloud. The hybrid model gives you the best of both worlds. Your sensitive workloads stay within your walls whilst everything else benefits from the speed and the scale of cloud. And next month, we're gonna be introducing a fully hosted option. Every component of WorkHQ, including the digital workers, can be delivered as a managed service by SS and C. No infrastructure to manage, no upgrades to worry about. You focus on the automations, and we're gonna handle the plumbing. And by the end of this year, you'll have full deployment freedom. You'll be able to run the complete WorkHQ portfolio in your cloud of choice using modern containerized technologies such as Kubernetes, Kafka, and Postgres. So whether you're needing hybrid, fully hosted, or private cloud, we're making sure that the platform meets you where you are. WorkHQ agentic workflows reach general availability at the end of March this year, and it represents our approach to orchestration that goes well beyond traditional RPA. The core idea here is a single visual workflow builder where you can sequence any combination of systems integrations, digital worker tasks, AI agents, and human approvals all in one place. And what makes this purpose built for modern automation is the support for event driven as well as long running processes, Workflows that trigger from an external event that may span hours or days and may need a person to review the outputs mid flight before continuing. Now alongside SIT's agent studio, giving teams a dedicated environment to build goal oriented AI agents that are tool equipped and wired directly into those workflows. An ever growing connector library expands automatable scope and enriches your agents with a large suite of tools. So let's take a little look at where we're taking workflows, agents, and connectors next. Building on the connector library with that we just introduced, the next capability, which is landing in June, is self-service connector creation. And the idea here is that you shouldn't need to wait for SS and C to support a specific integration. If you have a proprietary system or an internal data source that isn't already in the library, you can build a connector yourself directly within WorkHQ. Now the process is straightforward. You define the connection details, set up authentication, and you specify the actions that you need. You can then test it and deploy it privately within your own tenant, which keeps it separate from anything shared across the rest of the platform. This gives the teams the ability to extend WorkHQ to fit their own technology landscape, and we're gonna continue building out the broader connector library also in parallel. A common limitation in workflow automation is state management. And if a workflow needs to remember something between steps or across multiple runs, you typically have to connect it to an external database. But within build support for data persistence coming in q four, that dependency goes away. We are adding native visual storage directly into the platform. You can store data and run full create, read, update, and delete operations. You can use data changes as triggers or actions within your workflows. Sensitive fields can be protected and access control can be set at a field level, and the result here is workflows that are accessible statefully and data driven with no external infrastructure required, and it opens up a much wider range of automation scenarios for teams that are building on WorkHQ. In q three, we're gonna be opening up Agent Studio to harness external MCP servers. MCP is rapidly becoming the standard way for AI agents to connect with external tools and data sources, and we really want Agent Studio to be fully aligned with that ecosystem rather than a closed platform. And what that means in practice is that you can register any published external MCP server as a tool. You can configure the endpoints and authentication securely, and you can manage those external tools alongside native ones in the same interface. There's no need to choose between platform native and best of breed external capabilities. We're gonna be targeting q three for this, and it's a direction that we're gonna be building on further as the agent studio matures. Now culminating in q four, agent studio will let you define context, memory, and model selection on a per agent basis. So today, agents tend to operate with a uniform configuration, and this moves to a model where each agent is optimized and specialized for its specific task. Skills give each agent a consistent standardized context for its domain. Memory lets agents retain and recall relevant information across workflow runs, and model selection means that you can choose the LLM and the settings best suited to each task rather than being tied to a single model configuration. And together, these three capabilities mean that your agents become genuinely domain aware and precise, driving accuracy up and operational costs down. And we're going to build on this as we look at the rest of the agent studio roadmap. Now as you deploy more agents into production, governance becomes critical. Coming in q four, Agent Studio will let you define guardrails as part of each agent's configuration, drawing on the SS and C AI gateway to give you precise control over how each agent behaves. And the result here is agents that are not just capable, but predictable, compliant, and safe to run-in regulated or insensitive environments. For many years, our digital workers have been at the heart of how automation has performed at scale. And now as WorkHQ brings AI agents to reason and decide, digital workers continue to execute on the organizational infrastructure just like human colleagues, reliably, deterministically, and unattended. They handle the structured, repeatable work across applications that human workers and AI agents depend upon. Now over the past few months, we've already expanded the areas that WorkHQ digital workers can reach. We've added native support for SAP and mainframe environments and enabled deeper automation of enterprise systems. We've introduced swarming so that workloads, can be distributed across, multiple workers dynamically. And more recently in April, we've also delivered automated incident detection with self healing, and those self healing capabilities enable teams to spend less time managing the infrastructure and more time on delivering value. One of the things that we hear consistently from Blue Prism enterprise customers is that they have invested heavily in their existing automations, and they want those investments protected as they move to WorkHQ. So we're building on that foundation. We're gonna continue to expand the automation capabilities that you rely on today. Citrix virtual apps arrives in q three this year, followed by Python code stages and Chromium application support, which comes before the end of the year. Now Citrix double hop follows in 2027, and that extends support into the complex virtual environments that many of you depend upon. And these are all being delivered directly into WorkHQ, keeping feature parity with what you have today. Now launching next month, we're going to be taking infrastructure needs completely off the table. Rather than managing servers, upgrades and platform operations internally, the entire environment is hosted by SS and C, including the digital workers themselves. And what that means in practice is reduced operational overhead, a more secure and reliable environment, and automatic access to the latest SS and C Blue Prism software. Now for operations teams managing live automations, a common frustration is having to redeploy a process to change how it behaves. With real time dynamic control landing in Q3, though we're going to be addressing that issue directly. Operators can adjust settings in near real time triggering instant stop requests, changing error handling behavior, or targeting specific runs, all without touching the process itself. And for you, that means faster responses when something goes wrong and more flexibility to handle changing conditions mid execution. The result of all of this is greater operational control over critical automation sessions with immediate visibility into what is happening and the ability to act on it. Now coming towards the end of the year, we're going to be introducing greater flexibility in the way that our WorkHQ digital workers are licensed through the introduction of burst capacity. Designed to work alongside our existing license models, this new capability will allow clients to stretch beyond the limits of their existing licenses to meet seasonal or unexpected demand without needing to consider a permanent increase to their ongoing license count and also to provide greater operational flexibility. Burst capacity is going to be delivered as a new option with our WorkHQ digital workers first before we extend that out to our Blue Prism Enterprise and Blue Prism Cloud customers in the future. Meeting SLAs, it's a vital need for our customers and whether that's regulatory deadlines, customer commitments or internal operational targets, the consequence of an automation running late can be significant. Prioritization and SLA orchestration coming in 2027 addresses this directly. We're gonna be introducing clear priority tiers for processes and sessions, urgent, high, normal, and low. And alongside that, SLA aware session execution records, tracks, and prioritizes work based on time critical deadlines so that the right automations run-in the right order automatically. And the outcome is that critical tasks complete on time without operators having to manually intervene to reshuffle the queue. And coming up, we're gonna look at how automated incident management builds on this to give even broader operational visibility. As automation estates grow, the ability to spot problems before they impact delivery becomes just as important as the automations themselves. Automated incident management gives operations teams that proactive visibility across the entire environment. Now we're monitoring at three levels, sessions, queues, and digital workers. Failed, stuck, or long running sessions are detected and surfaced automatically. Queue health and the backlog trends attract so that SLA risks are flagged before they become instance, and digital worker availability and utilization are continuously measured against defined SLAs with alerts triggered when those thresholds are breached. And together, these capabilities mean the operation teams spend less time monitoring and more time focused on value. Our mission is to give AI powered enterprises a single trusted control interface to run, govern and to continuously monitor hybrid workforces, enabling safe autonomy, operational resilience and outcome driven execution. Now as agentic workflows becomes central to how organizations operate, the need to monitor and govern them effectively becomes just as important as building them. Control Center gives operations teams a single hub to monitor, manage, and report on agentic workflows without needing developers to interpret what's happening. Later this year, we're going to be providing a consolidated audit trail for agentic workflows, live status on what's running, and structured logging with decision tracing built in. And the result here is operational resilience, not just operational visibility. One of the recurring challenges that we hear from customers is demonstrating the value of their automation investment to the business. Now with cost savings and ROI scorecards coming later this year, we're gonna be giving teams the data that they need to do that clearly and consistently. The scorecards measure KPIs including return on investments, SLA, performance, and time savings, and they surface them in a way that business leaders can interpret without needing to dig into tons of operational reports. And with the scorecards, organizations can validate what's working, they can identify areas for further optimization, and they can confidently secure management buy in to scale automation across their enterprise. Interactions is the pillar of the WorkHQ platform that brings human workers into automated workflows, now whether that's at the point of initiation or at key decision points mid process. And we have shipped three capabilities here in quick succession. In December, we released WorkHQ forms, which gave users a structured way to trigger automation flows. And in March, we extended that to AgenTic workflows so that forms can now kick off AI infused processes directly. And in April, we released the tasks inbox, which is a mailbox style interface where human workers can receive assigned work items, they can review them, and they can submit their decisions back into the workflow to continue processing. And together, these give you the foundation for seamless human automation collaboration. Now q three brings a management layer on top of that tasks inbox. The focus is really here on two groups. You've got supervisors who need to balance how work is distributed across their team, and you've got workers who need enough context to make good decisions on the items that they receive. For supervisors, we're introducing a dedicated role with permissions to manage and to reassign tasks across team members. And for workers, each item will show a task history panel with the full execution path of how it arrived, plus a threaded comment system so that conversations, and decisions are captured in context. And together, these really make the tasks inbox, which is a proper work management tool, not just a queue. So far, the forms and the tasks that we've covered have been for internal workers operating inside of WorkHQ. But in Q4 we're going to be extending out that reach externally with public forms. The idea here is pretty straightforward. You publish your WorkHQ form publicly, you embed it in an external application or portal, and anyone outside of your organization, including customers, vendors, and partners can fill it in without needing a WorkHQ account. Now that submission then instantly triggers an agentic workflow on the back end. And what this does is removes a significant friction point for any process that starts with an external input, whether that's, customer onboarding, supplier intake, or approvals from outside of your organization. It broadens the reach of your automated workflow significantly. It opens up data collection to external stakeholders. Blue Prism Assistant is our conversational interface inside of WorkHQ, designed to give users fast access to help, to resources, and to automation capabilities without breaking their flow. And the goal is simple. You get answers in seconds rather than minutes so that the work keeps on moving. And over recent releases, we've been extending what the assistant can actually do, and forms creation, recently introduced, lets users build on WorkHQ forms conversationally through the assistant experience. And with workflows generation, users can describe the process in natural language and have the assistant build out an agentic workflow automatically. That's the capability we've been focused on for WorkHQ, and it's all now live. And together, these releases really move the assistant from being a help interface into something that has real automation capability behind it. Now the Blue Prism assistant is evolving into a build time Copilot, and we've already delivered workflow and form creation, of course, through natural language. And this phase extends that across the full range of automation assets. For guided workflow building, we're gonna go beyond initial configuration to support the full configuration and the refinement process. And for intelligent agents, the assistant generates system instructions with governance and compliance built in. And in Q4, we're going to be adding in the digital worker process building, including cogeneration and expression building. The aim here is to accelerate time to value for both technical developers and also for citizen users by making the assistant a genuine partner in the build process and not just a help resource. So everything that we've described in this WorkHQ roadmap will be available as a service from Blue Prism served from our global cloud platform, but we do have some customers and partners who want or perhaps need to self host their automation technology. And for those organizations, we're gonna have a self hosted version of WorkHQ available by the end of the year. This is gonna be a containerized application stack, which is running natively on Kubernetes and leveraging a whole variety of leading open source technologies for communications and for data storage. And it's gonna be suited for customers who want to run Blue Prism on a hyperscaler of their own choice or in their own private cloud. Now marketplace is a new section of the WorkHQ platform where automation teams can browse and discover a growing catalog of prepackaged automation assets. The idea is pretty straightforward. So rather than building everything from first principles, developers can find ready made assets that demonstrate best practice, explore how they're built, and they can use them as a starting point for their own work. Now we're gonna be launching the marketplace with a catalog of RPA assets drawn from our existing digital exchange library, and we plan to add more catalogues throughout 2026, starting with workflows. And assets are available to download and import into your environments now with our catalogues, continuing to expand over the coming years. In the next few slides, what we're gonna cover is each catalog and what you can expect. So firstly, the RPA asset catalog, it's gonna be the first collection available in the marketplace, and it's already live now. It's been populated with the assets that's drawn from our digital exchange, so there's already a substantial library to explore from day one. Teams can browse and drill down as individual assets to review the documentation and to understand intended use cases, and they can check what support is available before downloading. Now once you've found what you need, assets can be downloaded as files ready to import directly into WorkHQ's digital worker studio, and it's a practical way to bring tested, published processes into your environment without having to start from scratch. And we're gonna continue to grow this catalog over time with contributions from SSC, from partners, and also from you, the customer community. And now following on from the RPA catalog, the next addition to marketplace is going to be the workflows catalog, which arrives in June. And the focus here is on giving teams a practical head start with work HQ workflow. So rather than building from a a blank canvas, teams can browse ready made templates to demonstrate best practice how workflows should be structured and how to handle scalability or how to integrate with common business applications. And these aren't just reference material. They're practical starting points for for real business processes and popular integrations that teams can take, they can adapt, and they can quickly deploy for their own use. And the catalog's gonna cover common scenarios across industries and domains, so there really should be something relevant regardless of the sector that you're working in. And there's so much going on in the WorkHQ space, and we're really excited to be taking our customers and partners with us on this journey towards the future of intelligent automation. And with that, I'm gonna hand back to Patrick. And that brings us to the end of our presentation. So let's go over some key takeaways from the intelligent automation road map. First, the automation market is at an inflection point. 44% agentic AI growth or less than 1% of processes are AI orchestrated. The window to outcome focused agentic AI is wide open for you, and WorkHQ is the unified platform for modern automation that can get you there. Digital workers, AI agents, agentic workflows, humans in the loop, and enterprise governance all in one place. Flexible deployment models also make adoption easier, and agentic workflows will unlock what was previously out of reach. Use cases either too complex or dynamic to automate before are now achievable today. And Blue Prism Enterprise continues to deliver and evolve. Safer upgrades via backward compatibility and AI navigator, natural language browser automation, and native WorkHQ integration protects your existing investments.
