Appian: a great BPM for your enterprise needs

As a consultant, I use it for our client's enterprise solutions, to solve their business problems. It's used for everything from SOX accounting, enrollment of services, general reporting, escalations, government compliance and task commitment tracking to scheduling of physical assets like shuttles. We also automate common business processes that we find are candidates for automation. Its ability to consume external data is key. We use ASMX/WCF web services to query for data in the designer and then use Appian to handle the logic that needs applied to our data. The way it works with Microsoft Active Directory is also vital to our daily operations. The support we get from the vendor and the training they have available really help us maximize the capabilities of Appian for our enterprise needs.
