Any software development process starts with the need for an easier way to finish a task. This is a recurring theme and has been observed time and again. This thought specifically arises when the tasks to be performed are time-consuming, perplexing or to put in simple words, a pain. The need for easier performance of tasks leads to a natural response of finding alternatives to finish tasks. Simplicity is often the inspiration for such innovations.
Sometimes, the solutions don’t need to be flashy but have to be efficient, modern and effective. With more configurations, the more functions are enabled and this might lead to over-engineering.
When extra components are added to the systems apart from the minimum viable product or MVP requirements, the risk of another bloated system arises. This leads to a delay in the realization of value and also a lower return on investment.
Finding the right balance between functionalities and simplicity is essential. Known as the ‘Goldilocks Zone’ of software development, an exceptional method of development is using low code principles.
Appian’s Low Code Development Toolbox
When using multiple programming languages, how does one understand which one utilizes more lines for the same functionality? How can the complexity of programming be reduced so that users can build software with a minimum amount of training? These are the questions that led to the rise of Appian’s patented Self Assembling Interface Layer or SAIL framework that was built to increase speed. By forfeiting the absolute freedom for customization and the complexity involved in it, the user is given a platform that facilitates the rapid development of the capabilities.
Choosing the right tool for a job plays a very important role. Appian, as a Business Process Management (BPM) tool, boasts of excellence in workflow-oriented tasks. To maximize Appian’s versatility in compliance with your business needs, new and modified functions, components and properties are released with every updated version of Appian. When the functionality falls short of the business needs, Appian enables custom plug-in usage to fill this gap.
Constant communication between the subject matter experts at Ampcus and Appian enables easy flow of work between the company and the client. This helps reduces the turn over time and helps in developing custom-fit solutions to the client.
Appian helps companies adopt a simpler way to create powerful software. The low-code market and the commitment to continuous innovation puts Appian ahead in the market. Appian’s core principles are:
Simplicity:
Owing to Appian’s expeditious development capabilities combined with its agile process, the organizations may continue to enhance and adapt their application to their dynamic business requirements even after reaching the MVP. This enhancement can be done while following the basic principle of software development – “to keep it simple.”
Architected for simplicity, Appian is a productive low code design environment that has a fully managed cloud and an intuitive end-user experience. The cloud eliminates maintenance and upgrades support which reduces the need for full-time employee support.
The simple low code platform lowers the cost of ownership for Appian application and puts you in the market faster with business applications that are a game-changer and improve user adoption across the enterprise.
Extreme Speed:
Appian enables quick results that help deliver transformational business applications. The enterprise’s low code platform is up to 20 times faster. This is possible as instead of coding the application, you draw the application.
The process of building a new application becomes intuitive which helps align the business and the IT. This enables quick delivery of applications through Appian. The Appian Guarantee offers extreme speed combined with simplicity.
Unified Data:
Appian allows organizations to decide where their data is stored. Centralization of data architecture has become obsolete and makes agility of business transformation and sustainable IT impossible.
Appian holds the record for a single view of all the relevant data for a specified topic. There is no requirement to choose between real-time information and performance or move any data. Appian’s patent-pending parallel processing technology speeds up query performance and throughput.
Organizations need a full picture of the topic, where the data resides and this is made possible by a 360-degree view provided in a single click by Appian.
Smarter Automation:
Appian closely coordinates people, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and software robots’ activities to transform businesses and unlock the exceptional value for your customers. Appian provides AI services and no-code integration to the best available AI services from different platforms. It unifies the enterprise system with data.
Through intelligent automation, Appian drives your organization to better decisions with AI and machine learning (ML). Robotic Process Automation (RPA) aids in reducing cost and error in repetitive costs. It enables faster, better and seamless service across channels. It helps the employees perform better as they can improve customer interaction and creative problem-solving.
Appian not only aids build faster but also smarter applications to optimize businesses.
Multi-experience for Free:
Communication has evolved into a multi-channel experience. To keep updated with the customers, businesses must connect with their customers through different channels at any time, and anywhere, seamlessly. Appian enables multi-experience communication without the burden of paying a higher price.
Appian reduces the complexities and the cost of building applications separately across different platforms. It enables building a single application that runs across all platforms with no extra cost or work.
Built for the Future:
Businesses are ever-evolving and ever-changing. With new opportunities, new competition arises rapidly. This increases the need for rapid movement and quick updates of the applications. Maintaining hundreds of siloed applications becomes overwhelming for a company. Especially legacy apps drain the resources and prevent innovation.
Appian’s unique build aids in providing built-in safeguards that remove silos from applications and eliminate the burden of application maintenance. This is enabled by common data schemes and UX patterns with regular updates across all the applications.
Appian, in short, delivers a comprehensive strategy for organization and app development through low code development which ensures sustainability.
Cloud Peace of Mind:
Appian has an enterprise-grade cloud with the belief that peace is non-negotiable. High availability provided by Appian ensures a 1-minute recovery point objective (RPO) and a fifteen-minute recovery time objective (RTO).
It has an automatic up-gradation facility that ensures new product features with zero extra cost or complexity. It enables easy movement between public clouds, on-premise or hybrid configurations.
