Leave Blue Prism. Keep the process.

Blue Prism's Digital Workers, infrastructure, and SI partners stack into six figures fast. We rebuild your Process and Object Studio logic as orchestrated code you own — and keep the control and audit trail.

Why teams leave Blue Prism

The four reasons we hear most often.

  • Reason 01

    Per-Digital-Worker licensing

    Each Digital Worker is licensed annually at enterprise rates, and you provision and maintain the Windows infrastructure it runs on. Effective cost per worker clears $16K all-in.

  • Reason 02

    Infrastructure you own anyway

    Runtime resources, application servers, and the Blue Prism database are your problem to size, patch, and scale — without owning the software that runs on them.

  • Reason 03

    SI-partner dependency

    Real Blue Prism estates are built and maintained by accredited partners. The retainer is the recurring cost, and the VBO/process library lives in their idiom.

  • Reason 04

    Object/Process model is the lock-in

    Your automations are expressed as Visual Business Objects and Process diagrams. Portable in theory, awkward to leave in practice.

The math

What Blue Prism actually costs.

Public list pricing plus the add-ons most teams end up buying. Implementation and admin overhead extra.

What we migrate

Every record.
Every field.

Specifically, from SS&C Blue Prism. Nothing is left behind to "migrate later."

  • Processes and Visual Business Objects (VBOs)
  • Work queues, environment variables, credentials
  • Control Room schedules and runtime resource logic
  • Decipher IDP document models
  • Application models / spied elements (API-first where possible)
  • Audit logs and session history requirements
  • Exception-handling and retry logic

Our recommendation

Replace Blue Prism with Temporal + Python (open source).

Blue Prism is process-and-orchestration-centric, so a durable orchestrator is the right backbone. We model each Process as a Temporal workflow (retries, timeouts, and audit built in) with Python activities doing the work — API calls where the apps allow, Playwright/rpaframework where only the UI exists. Work queues become Temporal task queues you can inspect. No per-worker license.

Not the right fit?

We also build fully bespoke automations, deploy Robot Framework / n8n / Temporal to other estates, and integrate with whatever you're keeping. The audit covers the choice.
