In episode 58 of the Acceleration Economy Minute, Kieron Allen discusses Appian, which is on our Top 10 list of AI/Hyperautomation Enablers.
Highlights
00:35 — Appian (which Kieron recently profiled) announced that over 200 government agencies are using its process automation low-code development package, Appian Data Fabric, to achieve maximum effectiveness and efficiency in their missions. This includes all four branches of the US Department of Defense and intelligence agencies.
00:57 — In one example, Appian helped implement a single Global Force Information Management system. This intelligent platform gave the agency in question a holistic view of all of its Global Force, enabling it to make data-driven strategic decisions.
01:15 — The key takeaway in Kieron’s opinion from this announcement is how using Appian tech to understand data and processes enables organizations to prepare for potential uncertainties.
01:42 — There’s no greater testbed for mitigating uncertainties than a defense or intelligence agency and Appian has proven their technology works at the highest levels of pressure with
the greatest consequences at stake.
