Appian Announces Latest Version of the Appian Platform
April 24 2018 - 9:01AM
Today at the Appian World 2018 global user
conference
, Appian (NASDAQ:APPN) unveiled the
latest version of Appian, the Digital Transformation Platform®. The
new release makes it easier than ever to rapidly build powerful
software applications.
Enhancements to the platform help drive intelligent automation
across the organization, optimize the designer and user experience
across channels, and bolster performance and administration of
Appian’s platform-as-a-service (PaaS) cloud architecture. In
addition to being in the core Appian platform, these enhancements
are also available in the new Appian Intelligent Contact Center
Platform®, announced today.
“We deployed nine key risk mitigating applications on Appian in
just 18 months,” said Denise Knabjian, First Vice President of
Process Innovation at OCC, the world’s largest equity derivatives
clearing house. “Appian is key to the flexible yet secure IT
infrastructure we require given our designation as a Systemically
Important Financial Market Utility (SIFMU).”
Meeting customer expectations for service and efficiency in the
digital age requires smart digital processes. Appian combines
business process management (BPM), robotic process automation
(RPA), and artificial intelligence (AI) to deliver intelligent
automation -- a confluence of technologies and capabilities that
enables the future of work. That means people working together in a
flexible, adaptable, collaborative environment, supported by system
intelligence that automates out the low-value work and assists
users with recommendations and decision support.
The latest version of Appian includes native AI-based sentiment
analysis to inform and improve human decision making. Furthermore,
customers can easily extend applications with AI services with
Appian’s new no-code integration to the three leading public cloud
cognitive and machine learning platforms, Google Cloud Platform,
Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Azure. Appian has additionally
extended its integration capabilities with support for the OpenAPI
standard, allowing customers to easily consume web services
designed in Swagger toolsets.
Appian’s commitment to the innovative application of AI also
extends to its Cloud platform. Proprietary machine learning models
will predictively auto-scale the web tier of Appian Cloud, taking
into account variables like holidays and seasonality to more
intelligently allocate server resources. The result is even more
consistent, reliable performance for Appian Cloud users, even at
times of peak demand.
With this release, Appian has also simplified the creation of
beautiful and engaging user interfaces. The latest version of the
platform features low-code drag-and-drop composition of all aspects
of interface design. These interfaces are immediately available
across web and mobile platforms without additional development.
Appian is releasing a new beta version of its latest mobile
application to customers and partners with greater styling and UI
controls for mobile app developers.
The latest version of Appian makes it easy to run Appian in
Docker containers. It allows for expansion of Appian’s process
engines by a factor of 4x, enabling increased throughput to meet
the largest and most-demanding customer environments. The latest
version also extends Appian’s comprehensive security with a “Bring
Your Own Keys” capability that enables the customer - not Appian -
to hold the encryption keys to their data hosted in Appian Cloud.
In addition, Appian’s global data center footprint has extended to
include a new data center in Tokyo, Japan.
The latest version of the Appian is generally available as of
June 2018.
