Case Study: Avanade achieves ~50% faster automation build time, 20% reduction in TCO and 30% higher ROI with Blueprint Software Systems

Avanade Reduces Automation Build by ~50% with Blueprint while Decreasing Automation TCO and Increasing ROI

Avanade, a global professional services firm managing millions of bots across its Managed Services practice, faced slowed innovation and high maintenance from legacy automations built on first‑generation RPA platforms. The company needed a faster, data‑driven way to rationalize, modernize and re‑platform automation estates (often to Microsoft Power Automate) to reduce overhead and improve ROI. To address this, Avanade turned to Blueprint Software Systems and its Automation Re‑platforming capabilities.

Using Blueprint Software Systems’ platform—including its Common Object Model and Digital Blueprints—to ingest and analyze entire automation estates, Avanade’s Automation Factory rapidly identified what to migrate, optimize or retire. Blueprint enabled a ~40–60% reduction in build effort (about a ~50% decrease in build time), delivered example TCO savings of 20–27% and helped drive a ~30% faster optimization and a 30% increase in ROI, significantly lowering costs and accelerating time‑to‑value.
