Prepared By: Dominique Joshua B. Ramo Blue Prism Tutorial RPA is the technique of employing software robots to automate
repetitive operations such that they are completed
automatically without human input. IT management, sales operations, the procurement process, data input, data
extraction, automatic report production, customer service
operations, etc. are some of these activities. This tutorial
teaches the fundamentals of RPA and how to use Blue Prism to apply it.
Blue Prism - Introduction to RPA
A robot is a piece of equipment that can mimic human users by clicking, navigating, typing, and other actions. A process is a series of meaningful actions that may include several systems or applications. Automation is the performance of a series of actions without the involvement of a human (once configured).
Robotic Process Automation
RPA (robotic process automation) enables the use of software robots rather than humans to operate the company. Regular chores are automated with it so that the user may focus on finishing complicated jobs rather than doing repetitive labor by hand. In turn, this would decrease human erro.
RPA Benefits
The following are the advantages of RPA −
- Building a unified view of the customer
Prepared By: Dominique Joshua B. Ramo - Increased customer satisfaction - Increased employee productivity - More accuracy and quality - Cost effective - Up to 80% reduction in AHT (Average Handle Time) - Up to 90% reduction in ART (Average Resolution Time) - Increased ROI (Return on Investment) within 3 months on an average.
RPA Tools
We have the following popular tools available in market for RPA −
- Blue Prism
- Automation Anywhere
- Ui Path
- Work Fusion
- Open Span
Uses of RPA
The following are the uses of RPA −
Dual data entry scenarios
It is not necessary to manually enter the same data twice into different systems. Since invoices are manually reentered into ERP after being indexed in the process, RPA replaces this double human effort.
Straight-through processing
ERP requires inputs from a variety of systems, such web pages for customer orders, workflow for bills, emails, or excel files. RPA

Analyze and Identify
The first step in the RPA life cycle is to study a business issue in order to design RPA. Business analysts and RPA architects typically carry out this task. Processes that can be automated are identified, development deadlines are chosen, the strategy is documented, and stakeholders provide their consent for the development to begin.
Implement
RPA developers work on the requirements in development environment to automate the manual processes. Development is done in wizard and these is a limited requirement to perform coding in developing the bots.
Prepared By: Dominique Joshua B. Ramo Testing
In this phase, bots are tested to evaluate the quality and to correct errors if any.
Go Live
After the bot is tested thoroughly, it would be deployed into the live environment where users start using it. It enters maintenance phase where support and change requests for the bot are entertained and defects are fixed with immediate effect.
Types of Robot in RPA
There are two types of robots in RPA as given below −
- Back Office Robots
- Front Office Robots Back Office Robots
Following are the features of back office robots −
- Back office robots will run unattended.
- They are in batch Mode.
- They run in virtual environments.
- Back office robots are not supervised by any one.
- The back office robots send heartbeats to the server, so that it knows instantly when a robot is down.
- Back office robots help in error reduction and are cost effective. Front Office Robots
Following are the features of front office robots −
Prepared By: Dominique Joshua B. Ramo - Is very low cost compared to the TCO of alternative solutions - Provides tremendous payback with self-funding returns and an ROI that has been as high as 80% - Can be managed within IT infrastructure and processes
Installation of Blue Prism
The following are the installation requirements for Blue Prism −
- Windows 7 (Preferred) OS, 64 bit or 32 bit
- Blue prism installation Software, 64 or 32 bit, depending on your OS
- Blue Prism License File
- SQL Server Express Edition, 64 or 32 bit depending on your OS
We shall look at the process of installing Blue Prism with SQL Server Management Studio −
Installation of SqlExpr
Download SQL server, SqlExpr file from Microsoft official website and after the download click on SqlExpr. This will launch the Sql Server that can be used to install the Sql connection.
Prepared By: Dominique Joshua B. Ramo
Installing Blue Prism
Once the SQL server is installed, we need to install Blue Prism using the steps given below and the screenshots −
Step 1 − Click on Blue Prism 5.0_x64 for the installation to start.
Step 2 − Click on next on the dialogue box.
Prepared By: Dominique Joshua B. Ramo
Step 5 − Click on next.
Step 6 − Once you click on next, the installation processes.
Prepared By: Dominique Joshua B. Ramo
Step 7 − Once the installation is completed, close the window.
This completes the installation of Blue Prism and the icon appears on the desktop.
Opening Blue Prism
Once the installation of Blue Prism is completed, we shall look at how to open the application using the below steps −
Prepared By: Dominique Joshua B. Ramo - Username: Admin - Password: Admin
Creating the Database
We shall now create a database using Blue Prism as shown in the below images −
First, open the installed application and go to File and then click on Create Database.

Different tabs of Blue Prism
There are 6 types of tabs in Blue Prism as follows −
- Home
- Studio
- Control
- Dashboard
- Releases
- System
Prepared By: Dominique Joshua B. Ramo Control
Control room is the central point of administration in Blue Prism where it handles control, monitor, execute and schedule of process executions on the distributed bots.
Dashboard
Dashboard is used to depict different charts displaying information about robotic work force.
Releases
Release manager is used to manage import and export of configuration packages between different blue prism environments.
System
System tab is used by administrator for user management.
Blue Prism - Object Studio
Object studio is mainly used to develop the objects. Inside the object, we have different types of actions as follows −
- the Application Modular to Spy the Elements
- initialize page and clean up page
Prepared By: Dominique Joshua B. Ramo Creating the Object from Object Studio
After launching the Blue Prism, open Studio tab, right click on Objects and select Create Object. The screenshots clearly explain the process of creating objects −
Provide a name for new business object.
