Appian delivers complete automation, orchestrating people, existing systems, 
data, bots, and AI in a single workflow. Complete automation fuels 
enterprise-wide workflows to unlock material business results.

Matt Richard, CIO at Laborers International Union of North America (LiUNA), a 
500,000-member union of workers in construction, postal, and other industries, 
said, "Appian strips away the complexities of working with the most advanced 
automation technologies so we can focus on making our member experience the 
best it can be. We were able to build our first Appian RPA [robotic process 
automation] process in just four days, integrated with our people processes and 
Appian AI. Simplifying data design is going to have a huge impact for us so I 
am looking forward to the new release with low-code data."

The new platform enhancements support the Appian Guarantee (

), which aims to deliver a customer's first project live in just eight weeks 
with a flat services fee. New capabilities in the latest version of the Appian 
platform include:

    --  Low-code Data: Building low-code apps is simple and visual, but 
        integrating data still requires a host of database skills -- until now. 
        Appian makes integrating data as easy as building apps. Source data 
        from anywhere, without needing to migrate it. Visually combine, extend, 
        and model relationships between varied data sources, and automatically 
        optimize data sets for performance, without coding or database 
        programming. 
    --  IDP: Appian Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) (

) 
        delivers massive efficiency gains via straight-through processing of
        large volumes of unstructured data. IDP now features native Optical
        Character Recognition (OCR) to securely extract data from documents 
        without third-party software or services. In combination with the 
        Appian native, pre-trained, and constantly-learning AI models, IDP can
        eliminate manual processing in any workflow. 
    --  Low-code RPA: Appian RPA centrally manages and monitors Appian bots,
        3rd party bots, and end-to-end processes to increase scale and 
        performance. Appian customers can now automate tasks even faster with
        new Low-code RPA Windows actions and additional new libraries of
        actions that can be downloaded directly from the Appian AppMarket ( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3158812-1&h=92978678&u=https%3A%2F%2Fcommunity.appian.com%2Fb%2Fappmarket%2F%3Futm_source%3Dreferral%26utm_medium%3Dpress-release%26utm_campaign%3Dplatform-2021%26utm_term%3Dappian21-2&a=Appian+AppMarket 
). 
    --  Low-code Apps: Appian lets organizations build and change apps and
        automations 10x faster through visual development that's as simple as
        drawing a flowchart. New developer collaboration capabilities simplify
        co-creation of apps, while enhanced design guidance optimizes app
        performance, security, and testing. The result is a big boost in
        developer productivity. 
    --  Low-code DevSecOps: In Appian, everything is built to deliver
        enterprise-grade trust. From unmatched security certifications to
        comprehensive low-code DevSecOps, Appian helps customers innovate,
        compete, and grow. The new release continues to enhance simplified
        movement of software packages between development, test, and production
        environments with one-click compare and deploy to accelerate secure,
        governed deployments.
