Appian is launching a new version of its low-code platform. By integrating Appian Portals, Appian applications can also reach external users. The new platform is available immediately.
Key innovation in the platform is Appian Portals. Designers can use it to build and manage external websites and portals that can capture and access data from Appian applications. Of course, this is always done with low-code development, which Appian is known for. Appian Portals should primarily provide benefits in terms of speed and enable companies to optimize their services.
Other novelties
In addition to the arrival of Appian Portals, Appian Process Mining will also find its way onto the new platform. To make that happen, the acquisition of process mining specialist Lana Labs in the summer of 2021 will have come in handy.
Appian Process Mining enables users to analyze, monitor and improve business processes. Because everything is designed low-code, someone without extensive technical knowledge can also get started.
A plug-in complements this module. It should allow users to automatically transform process data from Appian and import it into Appian Process Mining.
Finally, Appian puts new security on its applications. According to the company, this eliminates the need for experts to configure and maintain security. Developers can set their own security rules on limiting access to records to whomever they want.
