This suite of products simplifies process improvement and automation through easy-to-use, flexible and comprehensive technology.

Design
Efficient processes need to be designed well and Appian Enterprise provides the functionality to enable business users and IT to rapidly design user friendly, comprehensive applications for end-users.

Manage
Appian Enterprise allows process analysts and executives to easily manage automated business processes. Users are able to view process output via rich dashboard reporting and easy to understand process metrics.

Optimize
Well-managed processes should be optimized after thorough analysis of the current state of a process. Appian Enterprise provides the tools necessary to change processes as business drivers and market conditions change in order to reach the optimal business state.




Appian Enterprise, the only 100% web-based BPM suite, is a comprehensive solution that simplifies process collaboration and innovation between business and IT, allowing all users across the organization to be part of the process of achieving corporate goals.

Appian Enterprise (AE) is used by large and small organizations alike to simplify business processes. Appian Enterprise components include:

• Process Modeler — the only 100% thin, web-based process modeler used for both design and execution in the market. Appian's process modeler enables business users and IT to model, simulate and automate their business processes for greater visibility and efficiency.
• Process Server — the powerful real-time engine that powers AE running process instances. The process server manages task assignment and escalation and orchestration of content between users, documents and external systems.
• Forms Designer — the only 100% thin WYSIWYG forms designer with drag and drop modeling capabilities to allow business users to design and develop a powerful user experience.
• Rules Manager — external repository to define, modify, version control and manage rules and constants that can be used throughout the application, processes, forms, portal, and analytics.
• Portal — the only true, stand-alone portal technology integrated with BPM to enable users to collaborate, personalize content, view tasks, manage documents and link to other systems.
• Knowledge Management — a complete content management environment seamlessly integrated into the BPM platform. The Appian Knowledge Management environment includes full version control of all content, full-text search, expiration of content, and the ability to manage content both inside and outside of a process.
• Analytics — the only real-time data store that provides configurable reporting, KPIs and the ability to optimize and change running process instances based on all data from existing and historical processes. Appian's analytics are further backed by a robust report design interface that allows complete control over how both process metrics and business data is displayed.
• SOA — AE is built upon an extensible architecture that enables IT managers to quickly create new service objects that are reusable by business users. Known as Appian's Smart Service architecture, these services capture both API actions and user interface to present a simple re-usable object that can be orchestrated by business users. Appian further extends SOA concepts to user interface design including reusable components for building forms and dashboards.
