Our take
Appian provides a way for companies to build their own software on the cloud, joining giants of the likes of Salesforce, ServiceNow, IBM and Oracle in the Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) business.
The company differentiates itself by providing a low-code platform, where people with little or no coding experience could also build customised applications in a predominantly drag-and-drop interface.
Along with the tide of digital transformation, companies are increasingly looking for software solutions that are not available off the shelf from say Microsoft to manage their business cases. This has given rise to a $100 billion a year market that Appian hopes to capitalise on by making it easier for companies to create their own unique software applications.
Given the surge in popularity of Artificial Intelligence, Applian's platform has also been integrated with some of the major cloud cognitive and machine learning platforms such as Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure, whilst it recently partnered with DISYS to improve performance across critical business processes.
