EDP Renewables North America to Showcase Appian Worksocial

RESTON, Va.–March 26, 2013– Appian, the market leader in modern business process management (BPM) software, today announced that its customer EDP Renewables North America will present its iBPMS use case at the Gartner BPM Summit taking place April 2-4 at the Gaylord National in National Harbor, Maryland. Appian is a Premier Sponsor of the event.

Stephan Blasilli, Corporate Development and Sustainability at EDP Renewables, will highlight the intelligent business process aspects and worksocial collaboration features of his company’s Appian deployment. The presentation, part of Appian’s Solution Provider Session, takes place Tuesday, April 2 at 3:15pm in the Potomac A room.

EDP Renewables, a clean energy company with 29 geographically-dispersed wind farms in North America, uses Appian for its Wind Turbine Issue Management System. Technicians feed complex turbine case data into the system from remote sites. Intelligent processes and real-time text mining determine issue priority and solution tasks. Technicians in the field and support at HQ then use Appian’s simple social interface to collaborate on next steps in real-time.

Modern enterprises such as EDP Renewables need to be agile and dynamic to stay ahead of the global competitive curve. Appian’s intelligent business process management suite provides the foundation to achieve operational excellence and accelerate business innovation. Appian expands the traditional BPMS by adding the new functionality needed to support Intelligent Business Operations, such as real-time business analytics, deep complex-event processing, innovative social collaboration, and native mobile access.

Malcolm Ross, Vice President of Product Marketing at Appian, will follow Mr. Blasilli with a short overview of the Appian BPM Suite. Mr. Ross will also host a dedicated Learning Lab demonstration of the Appian platform at 5:30pm on Monday, April 1.

Throughout the conference, Appian representatives will be on-hand at Appian’s sponsor booth (Booth #207) to answer questions and demonstrate the power of worksocial from Appian.
