Low-code RPA, AI, and Process Automation, Unified with Data
Anywhere, Unlocks New Levels of Automation Business Value
MCLEAN, Va., Dec. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Appian (NASDAQ:
APPN) today announced the latest version of the Appian Low-code
Automation Platform. The new version makes it easier than ever for
IT to drive rapid and substantial business value from a new
generation of powerful and scalable enterprise automation
technologies, united on the industry's leading platform for
low-code development.
"Through the course of 2020, the urgency for fast and powerful
process automation became undeniable as organization struggled with
the distributed workforces, broken processes, and inaccessible data
brought by the COVID-19 pandemic," said Michael Beckley, Founder and Chief Technology
Officer at Appian. "Our new platform release delivers the unified
automation technologies and the development speed that define the
new world of hyperautomation. The result is smarter, faster, more
resilient companies."
Major enhancements to the latest version of Appian's platform
unify low-code robotic process automation (RPA), artificial
intelligence (AI), and process automation. This is accomplished
through Appian's patented SAIL technology, the low-code industry's
fastest and easiest way to compose and unite all components of an
enterprise application, from back-end integrations to interface.
The latest version also enhances Appian's out-of-the-box AI-enabled
Intelligent Document Processing (IDP). IDP saves thousands of
person-hours per year by eliminating manual form and business
document intake, using AI to convert unstructured data into
structured data without human intervention.
The latest release also leverages Appian's unique Data Anywhere
architecture to unite the entire modern workforce of bots, AI, and
people with enterprise data – without requiring any data
migration.
Forrester predicts that by the end of 2021, 75% of application
development will use low-code platforms, up from 44% in 2020
