Overall Satisfaction with Appian
We are carrying a process of migration and re-engineering of the current back office processes. We are talking about 100 processes such as customer registration, transfers, and checks. These processes include both manual tasks and automatic tasks that connect to other systems in the bank. The development is carried out by a mixed technology and business team. The goal is to turn Appian into the bank's BPM engine.
- Friendly and powerful development sutie.
- Easy handling of parallelization and subprocesses.
- Rapid development of forms and processes.
- Improve the version control of components in a project.
- Improve the integration with non-product frontends.
- It is difficult to extend the product with ad-hoc components.
- We are still in the development phase but expect a 5% reduction in operating costs.
The main advantage of Appian is the ease to design, develop and implement processes and forms in a relatively short time. By using WebServices as the primary integration mechanism, it integrates seamlessly with other systems.
Development in jBPM and webMethos requires more work, however they provide much more powerful integration and customization mechanisms than Appian.
