Blue Prism buys cloud services company Thoughtonomy

LONDON (Reuters) - Blue Prism Group said on Wednesday it had agreed to buy cloud services company Thoughtonomy for up to 80 million pounds ($100 million) to help it supply mid-tier companies with its robotic process automation platform.

The deal was announced alongside Blue Prism's results for the six months to end-April, which saw revenue rising 82% to 41.6 million pounds. The company's adjusted core loss widened to 34 million pounds, driven by an expansion in its sales and marketing capability.
