Mike Cawsey Joins as Regional Sales Director
for Australia and New Zealand
U.K.-headquartered Blue Prism, the robotic process automation
software company delivering the world’s most successful digital
workforce, today announced the opening of a new Sydney office to
meet the groundswell of demand in the region for the company’s RPA
software platform. Several of Blue Prism’s strategic alliances are
highly active in the market (see supporting quotes), driving the
need for a stronger local presence. The company has also appointed
Mike Cawsey as regional director of sales for Australia and New
Zealand.
“The Sydney-based office enables our follow-the-sun support
strategy, and also provides Blue Prism with a gateway to the Asia
Pacific market, including China, Japan and Singapore where the
market is really heating up,” said Martin Flood, executive vice
president, global sales, Blue Prism. “Mike Cawsey is a great
addition to the sales leadership team, having led successful growth
strategies for enterprise software companies across Asia
Pacific.”
As the commercial lead, Cawsey joins Blue Prism with more than
20 years’ experience in leading global enterprise software and
technology organizations in business process management, analytics
and information management and governance. Previously, Mike served
as senior vice president of Asia Pacific Active Navigation, a
market-leading software vendor in information governance solutions.
He’s held senior roles with companies such as IDOX/McLaren
Software, Metastorm, DICOM/KOFAX, TIBCO BPM, Staffware and Modus
Media.
The new Sydney office will primarily provide sales support for
partners, as well as customer support across Asia Pacific.

said, “EY has teamed with Blue Prism on over 70 RPA projects in 20
countries globally, helping clients build a digital workforce
alongside their employees to deliver enhanced customer experience,
improve efficiency and reduce risk. In Australia and New
Zealand, we have already teamed with Blue Prism on over 15 projects
and their establishment of a physical presence in the region will
increase the support available to organizations and service
providers looking to deliver value from greater automation.”
Shane O’Sullivan, RPA co-lead, PwC Australia“The speed
and cost benefits of Robotic Process Automation are a game changer
for Australian businesses facing low-growth environments and
declining benefits from traditional optimization strategies,” said
Shane O’Sullivan, RPA co-lead, PwC Australia. “Blue Prism's
move into Sydney signals to the market the disruption that's to
come from RPA, which will deliver the next wave of operational
improvement and customer experience enablement.”
Brandon Stafford, RPA co-lead, PwC Australia"PwC’s
partnership with Blue Prism enables our clients’ access to
best-of-breed digital operations solutions. Organizations are
already achieving productivity improvements faster and for
much lower investments than following common approaches to system
transformation,” noted Brandon Stafford, RPA co-lead, PwC
Australia. “We welcome Blue Prism to Australia and look forward to
a continued close relationship.”
Garry Green, managing
director, Quanton“We have built an excellent
partnership with Blue Prism, the global leader in RPA. The company
has an outstanding product that rapidly delivers tangible benefits
to our customers. When that is married up with a local partner who
understands New Zealand businesses and has locally based experts
whose sole focus is automation, then the outcomes are outstanding,”
said Garry Green, Quanton’s managing director. “We are really
excited that Blue Prism is opening a new office in the region. It
emphasises the importance of the Australian and New Zealand
markets, and is a recognition of the great ‘adoption mentality’
that New Zealand businesses and organizations have for leveraging
innovative technology.”
Shayne Hunter, CIO, Capital Coast, Hutt
Valley and Wairarapa District Health Boards (DHBs)“We
had seen the benefits that Blue Prism RPA has delivered to the
health sector in other parts of the world and were keen to adopt it
in New Zealand,” said Shayne Hunter, CIO for Capital Coast, Hutt
Valley and Wairarapa DHBs, and a Quanton customer. “By automating a
high volume and repetitive task in the pilot, we have been able to
demonstrate the value of RPA, showing how we can free up our
skilled support staff to focus on more valuable patient-focused
activity, and at the same time increasing accuracy and reducing
error rates. Quanton automated the processes rapidly, partnered
with our support team to ensure buy-in and acceptance of RPA and
have been proactive and focused on helping us succeed.”
Ian Crouch, managing
partner, Reveal Group“Reveal Group has been
working with Blue Prism to provide RPA solutions that help
organizations across industries automate a wide range of business
processes for reduced costs, improved compliance and increased
productivity,” commented Ian Crouch, managing partner, Reveal
Group. “This in turn gives the human workforce the ability to
engage in more stimulating and strategic work – an opportunity that
is already revolutionizing customer service as we know it. With
RPA, we know that it is not a matter of if, but when organizations
will deploy it.”
