Key Findings & Highlights:
Process mining sits within Appian’s Design, Automate, and Optimize framework alongside its low-code application and automation development services. In this manner, the workflow for clients is for them to design mobile-ready apps using low-code development, data fabric workflows, and case management, all supported by automation.
Processes built on Appian can then be viewed in its Process Modeler, with each step in the process categorized by the supporting technology or people, be they RPA; AI, whether OCR, IDP, or machine learning; API integrations; or human-in-the-loop steps.
Organizations should consider Appian for process mining as part of a wider move to automate processes and build supporting low-code applications for processes that require human intervention or interaction. The Appian guarantee should allow organizations that are still fairly early into process reengineering efforts to see some early wins.
