MCLEAN, Va., Dec. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Appian (NASDAQ:
APPN) congratulates the winners of the inaugural 2020 Federal
Partner Cup Hackathon. Participants were tasked with creating
applications for the federal market, leveraging Appian's low-code
automation platform, which accelerates development while unifying
data, people, business processes, and the digital workforce.
The hackathon judges based their decisions on the relevance and
impact of the use case implemented, end-user functionality,
implementation quality, a well-executed concept, and the
demonstration of Appian as a platform for Hyperautomation,
integrating AI, RPA, business rules and case management. Specific
to the federal market, these submissions exemplified the power and
simplicity of building enterprise applications on the Appian
platform.
The 2020 Federal Hackathon winners are:
- First Place, Ignyte Group: Mental Health Case
Management
Ignyte's hackathon entry is tackling a critical modern health
issue, mental health. Ignyte developed a HIPAA-Compliant Case
Management system using Appian low-code integrations with Microsoft
Teams, Alexa, Blockchain, and AI/ML to deliver telemedicine, voice
assistant, secure sharing of medical records, and data-driven
clinical decision support.
- Second Place, KPMG: Digital Security Platform
Digital Security Platform, an application that brings a disruptive
approach to modernizing Federal building security. The application
brings Federal physical building security into the modern era by
integrating perimeter security hardware, both badge readers and

perimeter security, but as well for rapid disaster response and
COVID-19 contract tracing, access restrictions and enforcement of
social distancing rules.
- Third Place, Deloitte Consulting: Personnel
Credential Management Application

management through modern technology and robotic process

"Every year we do a Hackathon at our Appian World conference and
this year we decided to do one specifically for our partner
community within the federal market," said Malcolm Ross. "Each team came up with an
application that demonstrates the power and speed a low-code
platform can bring to government and defense organizations. We
congratulate the winning teams and look forward to doing it again
next year."
