A Blue Prism alternative that retires the bots.
Blue Prism deployments often grow into many bots plus the platform to manage them. thinkbridge maps what they do, rebuilds the process in one system built around how your business runs and retires the bots once the results match.
Signs you've outgrown Blue Prism
- Running the bots takes a team of its own.
- Every change to a connected system means rework on the bots.
- The license and support cost rises with the number of bots.
- Reports still depend on spreadsheets assembled by hand.
Blue Prism compared with a system you own
| Blue Prism | thinkbridge | |
|---|---|---|
| What it automates | Steps people take across screens and systems, bot by bot | The whole process, as rules and workflows in one system |
| Who owns it | You license it; the vendor owns the platform | You own the code, the data model and the business logic |
| How you pay | Licenses by bot, workflow or user, plus the effort to build and run them | Priced on outcomes, paid over an agreed term |
| When something changes | A bot can stop working when a screen or field it depends on changes | The system and its rules change together; low-risk changes ship to a beta you approve |
| AI | Added on top of the bots | Built into the workflows from the start |
How the move works

- Model and buildThe system is modeled on your process and generated with
think One - Migrate and validateYour data moves over and your team tests it on real cases.

The four stages are a short version of the six-step method (see how it works). For what gets built, see RPA replacement and consolidation.
Questions about moving off Blue Prism
How do we know the new system matches the bots?
Your team tests it against real cases while the bots keep running. A bot is switched off only when the results match.
What happens to the processes our bots run today?
thinkbridge maps what each bot does and which systems it touches, removes the steps that only existed to work around a system, and rebuilds the rest as rules and workflows in the new system.
How long does replacing the bots take?
About four months from kickoff to go-live.
