02:18 — In the past, Appian has partnered with other process mining companies to complement its solutions. Now, Appian is expanding with a native process mining solution that it’s offering within its ecosystem. “They’re doing that on purpose,” Aaron explains, because “they want to simplify the whole process to really create actionable outcomes.”
03:01 — Artificial intelligence (AI) was hinted at on the first day but will be detailed further in the opening keynotes. The company wants to create private AI and low-code AI, Aaron says. The two “big key buzz things” around the partners focus are equipping them and simplifying AI, along with having process mining as a foundation.
04:00 — Aaron connected with Appian VP of Corporate Communications Ben Farrell. Their conversation emphasized the importance of simplification, especially with private AI, low-code AI, and process mining.
04:57 — Additionally, Aaron will be meeting with Appian SVP Global Partners Organization Mark Dillon. They will be discussing the partners ecosystem and how Appian equips partners to better engage with customers and “realize better outcomes through low-code/no-code, process automation, process intelligence, and process mining.”
05:30 — Aaron also plans to connect with customers in attendance to hear their feedback on the innovations coming from Appian. He wants to learn more about the process mining offering as well as how the practical use of AI fits into how companies consume Appian’s solutions.
