Latest Version of the Appian Platform Delivers Complete Process Automation

Design, automate and optimize the most complex business processes end-to-end

MCLEAN, Va., March 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Appian (Nasdaq: APPN) today announced the immediate availability of the latest version of Appian platform for process automation. The new release features improvements in the areas of overall experience, data fabric, automation, and process mining, all underpinned by Appian’s low-code, industrial-grade design.

“Organizations need to move beyond applications that offer task-level automation and start implementing process orchestrations that unify people, systems and digital workers,” he said Michael Beckley, Founder and CTO at Appian. “Appian provides organizations with the end-to-end process control they need to design new digital solutions, automate complex processes, and streamline business operations to drive continuous improvement.”

Enhancements to Appian Portals extend the overall experience benefits to business-to-business and business-to-consumer use cases. In less than four weeks, the Appian customer installed AARP robust, secure, and responsive Appian Portals experience Supporting the Fraud Watch Volunteer program to help victims of fraud among AARP’s 40 million members.

“We needed a way to accept and process volunteer applications, and we spent more than 18 months looking for technology that would make this possible while still meeting our very strict security requirements,” he said Fisnik Shpuza, Director of Workflow Automation at AARP. “Appian Portals gave us everything we needed. It’s secure, beautiful and looks like an AARP website, and it connects all incoming data directly to our process.”

The new version makes it easier than ever to create beautiful and intuitive web and mobile portals that engage external users in a seamless overall experience with internal employees. New features include:

• Start process from portals: Start any process automation directly from a portals interface. Appian customers can initiate end-to-end process automations directly in a portal that enables orchestration of AI services, assignment of human tasks, or execution of robotic process automations.
• Query Appian’s data structure from Portals: Streamlined way to query and display record data from Appian’s data structure in portals without requiring complex integration calls.
• Portal header and pages: Engage Portals users with great experiences. Add a header bar for multi-page navigation to engage with your users in more diverse ways, all without code.
• Change management for portals: Changing and iterating portals is even easier. With the addition of new proactive actions and recommendations, Appian proactively updates portals and notifies developers when objects change.

The Appian data structure unifies data across systems without moving the data, dramatically reducing the time and effort required to build powerful applications. The latest version of Appian includes improvements that make working with data structure easier than ever, including:

• Centralized Recording Security: Back up all aspects of your records in one place. Quickly control who can see which records and record views, and what actions they can take.
• No-Code Security Rules: Establish security rules for record views by answering two simple questions: who can see the data and when can they see it?
• Simplification: Appian’s data structure offers drag-and-drop record type configurations, automatic generation of user record type relationships, database updates with no-code data modeling, the ability to combine data across record types, and much more.

In today’s economy, IT leaders must continue to deliver value to the business with fewer resources while increasing operational efficiencies. Executives are facing increasing regulatory compliance burdens, increasing the need for end-to-end process control, and they are also under pressure to innovate digitally to remain competitive.
