Appian Enterprise
Document and Content Management
Appian's Document and Content Management facilities are designed to capture, manage, version control, and search all content captured both inside and outside of process. Appian includes an easy-to-use web interface for creating team knowledge centers to store key documents. Documents stored in the environment can be checked in and out and version controlled as changes are made. Each document area can also be configured with expiration dates, to ensure documents remain fresh while archiving all older documents.
Appian also includes the ability to manage web content in dashboards. Web content provides a free-form collaboration environment for users to make updates directly to a dashboard and share information with team members. Rich text editing is included in the web interface and all changes are fully version controlled. All content is indexed and made searchable through the Appian interface. Full-text search is applied to common content formats, such as Microsoft Office, Adobe PDF, and other documents as well as all web content areas.
Knowledge Management
Key to all human-centric process environments is the promotion and effective management of knowledge and content. To facilitate effective control of knowledge, Appian delivers a suite of features to help quickly capture and manage the knowledge that flows through an organization. These features include, Document Management, Content Management, Full-Text Search, and Collaboration and Discussion Forums. Provided as a tightly integrated suite, Appian saves time and money in implementation, as well as seamlessly merging process control capabilities with effective management of enterprise knowledge.
Discussion Threads
Appian further includes team collaboration and discussion areas to capture communications between users. The Appian Discussion Forums allow users to have threaded conversations on any topic. Each topic can be associated with content areas and individual posts can be rated for meaningfulness. As discussions occur, Appian will index all discussion content and enable rapid searching to help users find answers to common questions.
Process Integration
Appian's true power is the seamless integration of knowledge management capabilities with robust process control. All actions that can be performed by users in the Knowledge Management environment can be controlled and scripted in an Appian process. Appian includes over 85 actions to control creation, deletion, movement, and security of content in all areas. Only Appian seamlessly marries enterprise Knowledge Management with enterprise Business Process Management capabilities in a single environment to deliver a rich user experience.
