Appian Acquisition Business Management (ABM)

The White House mandated Federal procurement organizations increase their effectiveness and reduce the government’s “cost to spend.” To meet the President’s challenge, procurement organizations need a software platform that facilitates end-to-end procurement, is easily adjustable to meet changing requirements, and can be extended to automate other procurement processes such as inquiries from members of Congress.

Appian’s Acquisition Business Management Solution covers every step of the Federal purchasing lifecycle. All of the business logic, rules, enterprise and IAE integrations, user interfaces, reports and dashboards for Federal acquisitions are included, as well as common contracting functionality such as Acquisition Plan Creation, Solicitation/Award Document Generation, CLIN/SLIN Creation, Clause Logic/Library, and Integrated Acquisition Environment integrations (FBO, CCR, EPLS, ORCA, FPDS-NG). Our software provides a single web-based system for customers, contractors, and administrators to interact. Agencies can modify any part of the application to support their unique mission and needs.

Many agencies already have discrete components of contracting systems that work well. Rather than having to “rip and replace” these components which would be required to implement a full commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) package, Appian’s Acquisition Business Management Solution can be implemented in part, easily integrate with existing components and making them full parts of an overall solution.

Appian supports the Federal Government’s “Cloud First” mandate with authority to operate (ATO) under the FISMA act. Our built-in mobile BPM capabilities support the Federal Government’s efforts to enable telework, increase the efficiency of remote workers and reduce Federal real estate costs.

Appian’s Acquisition Business Management Solution, built on top of our BPM platform, creates a technology environment unlike anything possible with COTS or custom developed traditional code. Read the customer examples below to understand how many Federal agencies are already benefiting from Appian’s Acquisition Business Management Solution and our BPM platform.
