Automating processes

By using BMC Helix Innovation Studio automate the processes that you want to perform in third-party systems, such as Robotic Process Automation (RPA) tools and public clouds. Use the Process designer elements in BMC Helix Innovation Studio to connect with a third-party system and perform various actions in the system, such as creating a virtual machine and storage account in Microsoft Azure, running a Jenkins job, and running RPA bots in RPA tools such as Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism. For example, to automate the creation of a virtual machine in Microsoft Azure, you can create a process by using the Create VM element in the Process designer.
