CHICAGO, June 25, 2026 — Ashling, an intelligent automation and agentic AI consulting and implementation firm, has been named a WorkHQ Pioneer Partner by SS&C Blue Prism. The recognition honors the firm's role in the WorkHQ Early Access Program, where a select group of partners helped test and refine WorkHQ before its general release.
A WorkHQ Pioneer Partner is an organization SS&C Blue Prism recognized for helping develop its WorkHQ platform through early-access testing and real-world feedback. WorkHQ is the orchestration platform at the center of SS&C Blue Prism's agentic automation strategy, built to coordinate people, digital workers and AI agents across end-to-end processes. Through the Early Access Program, Ashling worked directly with SS&C Blue Prism's product teams to stress-test the platform in real client environments, surface high-impact use cases and feed practitioner insight back into the product roadmap.
Ashling was one of 15 organizations recognized as Pioneer Partners across the global SS&C Blue Prism partner ecosystem.
"Pioneer Partners earned this recognition by investing early and bringing real-world insight to the table," said Michael Guidry, Senior Managing Director at SS&C Blue Prism. "Their work helped shape WorkHQ into an enterprise-ready platform and showed what is possible as we advance the future of agentic automation."
"WorkHQ moves automation beyond the isolated, task-based automation we've been limited to in the past. We can now achieve the long-held dream of AI agents, digital workers, systems and people operating as one orchestrated, governed workforce to solve more complex business problems," said Xavier Hanson, Head of Delivery Assurance at Ashling. "As ever though, the most important thing is taking opportunities to solve these problems and convert them into measurable outcomes that provide true value back to the business. That's where we at Ashling play. We provide the design thinking, the governance and the operating model that takes an initiative from pilot to enterprise-grade automation. This platform creates the potential, and our role is to realize it."
For Ashling, the recognition reflects how the firm works. Ashling stays close to its technology partners to get early access to new features and updates and to keep current on partner product roadmaps. That visibility lets the firm advise clients on longer-term automation architecture and technology strategies, so the decisions they make today still hold up as platforms evolve.
"Early access is part of how we serve clients. We work with our technology partners to stay ahead of new features and product roadmaps," said Filip Swat, Head of Advisory at Ashling. "When we advise on tool selection and automation architecture, we are planning for where the platform is going, not just where it is today."
Ashling has partnered with SS&C Blue Prism for years across automation strategy, design and delivery. The Pioneer Partner recognition extends that work into the agentic era, positioning Ashling to guide clients adopting WorkHQ for orchestration and AI agent governance.
