As part of the agreement, the two companies plan to integrate Automation Anywhere’s Robotic Process Automation (RPA) platform used to create software bots to handle repetitive, task-based business processes, with IBM’s portfolio of digital process automation software.

“The combination of the Automation Anywhere and IBM process management platforms provide a powerful new way for companies to streamline business processes so employees can spend less time filling out forms and more time working with customers”, said Denis Kennelly, General Manager, IBM Hybrid Cloud solutions.

The new offering will be relevant to companies where employees routinely have to manually complete tasks within business processes. “This new capability to help companies better manage almost any part of a business process with speed, efficiency and reliability are extraordinary, enabling companies to become digital enterprises”, added Mihir Shukla, CEO and Co-founder of Automation Anywhere.

This news comes after recently it became aware that IBM is building a blockchain-based platform for seven big European banks, including HSBC and Deutsche Bank, that is aimed at simplifying trade finance transactions for small and medium-sized companies.
