MCLEAN, Va., Dec. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Appian
(NASDAQ: APPN) announced today that it is named a Leader in the new
report, The Forrester Wave™: Digital Process Automation Software,
Q4 2021. According to the report, digital process automation (DPA)
is rooted in business process management and systems designed to
handle complex long-running processes. In addition, DPA platforms
are increasingly relevant for low-code development. The
23-criterion evaluation of DPA providers identified the 14 most
significant vendors in the market.
The new report states: "Functionally Appian has no real
weaknesses."
The report states that DPA customers should look for providers
that:
- can handle the deepest, most sophisticated use cases
- can scale out to handle the unique requirements of wide
deployments
- offer general-use low-code capabilities
Appian received a Leader ranking in the report, which states:
"Functionally Appian has no real weaknesses."
Appian received the highest scores possible across 11 criteria,
including Deep DPA Support, Security Audits and Certifications, UX
Development Tools, Mobile Application Development Tools, Content
Tools, Case Management Support, Document Automation, and
Application Deployment options.
The report also says, "Appian maintains focus on sophisticated
processes while driving the low-code market. Appian was originally
known for its strong business process management (BPM) (predecessor
to DPA) offering but turned the ship toward low-code around the
time of its 2017 IPO. Make no mistake; Appian may go to market
strictly as a low-code vendor, but it is still strong in DPA and
DCM and scores high on planned enhancements as it continues to
invest heavily in those areas. Appian has a strong roadmap with the
integration of recently acquired Lana
Labs at the top of the list. With Lana Labs, Appian will be positioned to provide
a stack that goes from process insight to automation execution with
DPA, DCM, RPA, and low-code."
The report goes on to state that "Appian excels in mobile
development, document management, and security and is strong across
the board in all critical areas to support sophisticated DPA and
DCM (dynamic case management) requirements. Reference customers
indicated they use it for enterprise wide, mission-critical
applications. Appian is very dedicated to a low-code strategy aimed
at technically savvy developers who can learn the platform in a
matter of weeks without a programming background. With this in
mind, Appian well suits organizations that want to pursue a
low-code automation strategy..."
"Workflow is the backbone of any enterprise, and the ability to
rapidly optimize and automate workflow is the key to competitive
advantage," said Malcolm Ross,
Deputy CTO at Appian. "Our expertise in managing complex business
processes across people, RPA, and AI, combined with our leadership
in low-code, make Appian the ideal choice for fast and high-impact
digital process automation."
