--Using the Appian Low-Code Automation Platform, Appian Partners Compete to 
Create Applications Tailored to the Needs of the Federal Market 

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,
        lockchain, 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 CCTV, 
        with Appian. It provides digital automation of not only 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 
        Deloitte's application digitally transforms and automates personnel 
        management through modern technology and robotic process automation. It 
        delivers a holistic view of an organization's current credentials, 
        using APIs and Appian RPA as well as Google AI.

"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."

The winning teams received marketing dollars ($10,000, $7,500, and $5,000, 
respectively), plus an opportunity to present their winning application at
