This morning we announced the under-budget and ahead-of-schedule deployment of our BPM software at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA).  The solution was designed and rolled out in six weeks, with full agency deployment in under four months. NOAA is using Appian across its National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS). NESDIS collects global environmental data from satellites and other sources and provides information services regarding Earth system monitoring and official assessments of the environment.

Appian is now instrumental in supporting NESDIS’ mission to be “the world’s most comprehensive source and recognized authority for satellite products, environmental information, and official assessments of the environment in support of societal and economic decisions.

This is a very cool use case for BPM, and it made me start thinking about the ever-widening types of applications for which our on-premise and Cloud BPM, Mobile BPM and Social BPM is being used.

Judging by our new client acquisitions so far this year, financial services continues to be a hot market for BPM software. It makes sense because the financial sector requires significant process transformation in order to come to terms with current market drivers, from fiscal constraint to compliance issues and increased customer empowerment. BPM for financial services is a key lever for all of this, and for driving new growth opportunities. Still, many financial services institutions (FSIs) are just coming to grips with how to use BPM most effectively. If your company is among them, you should get yourself to the Yale Club of New York (50 Vanderbilt Avenue) this Wednesday, October 5 for the 2nd Annual Business Process Management and Technology Innovation Forum, hosted by FSO Knowledge Xchange.
