The past 6 months have been some of the most exciting times for Appian on all fronts, from dramatic market consolidation, to amazing customer growth for Appian.  It seems this cycle of success for Appian really kicked off with the release of Appian’s most powerful BPM platform yet, Appian 6.  Appian 6 has dramatically accelerated the speed customers can deploy and manage their BPM applications and improve their enterprise processes.  With innovative features like fit-for-purpose BPM dashboards and one-click deployment of BPM applications, customers who have migrated from Appian 5 to Appian 6 have raved about the benefits and accelerated process improvement they have received after upgrading.

After Appian 6 was released, Appian committed itself to change the way we delivered software.  As our SaaS business has grown, Appian has changed to the development methodology of a SaaS company.  This means, rapid releases, effortless upgrades, and a continuous stream of new features being introduced into the platform.  The pace of innovation at Appian has tripled since the release of Appian 6 and the features in our pipeline are guaranteed to shake-up the BPM market.  As other BPM vendors are looking to cash out and leave their customers holding the bag, Appian is throwing down the gauntlet” to the competition, challenging them to match Appian in innovation and customer success.

There’s a lot of discussion right now about applying Lean principles to BPM initiatives – and for good reason. BPM is about removing waste across the enterprise and maximizing all facets of performance, ultimately to enhance the delivery of goods, services and support to customers. Lean is a philosophy and methodology for creating maximum value with less work, originating from the base notion that anything that doesn’t directly add customer value is wasteful. More »

Appian is ready to help your business succeed in 2010. The more than 300 attendees who joined us for the recent Appian FORUM09 conference heard two BPM luminaries share their thoughts on what matters for the future of BPM. Gartner’s Jim Sinur talked about “OpTempo” (accelerating operations to increase your ability to respond to changing business patterns), and Forrester’s Clay Richardson outlined the importance of Lean BPM – and how to make it a reality. Attendees also saw first-hand that Appian is delivering the technology, methodology and community required to turn both of those important ideas into business value.  More »

We at Appian are very excited to be hosting our first annual Appian Forum, our global user conference.  We set high goals for ourselves in attendance and quality of presenations, and so far have been exceeding those goals.

If you have never been involved with organizing a global user conference, suffice to say, a lot of planning and effort goes into these events to ensure their success.  Appian started the planning process in December, 2007 with site visits of potential locations, lining up agendas, and selecting the best dates that will drive the most attendance.   More »
