what is this?

Instead of altering the core engine (your stable but rigid ERP), Appian provides a flexible low-code layer that sits on top. It orchestrates complex workflows, unifies data from multiple sources, and creates the intuitive user experiences that your legacy systems lack—so you continually iterate on your ERP transformation journey without disrupting the business.

What’s the impact?

• Accelerate value, reduce risk. Build and deploy new, modern processes quickly and without the disruption of a traditional “rip and replace” project.
• Unify the user experience. Replace multiple complex screens with a single, intuitive interface that guides users through tasks and eliminates “swivel-chair” inefficiency.
• Keep your core clean. Handle all customizations and extensions in Appian. This preserves the integrity of your core ERP, making future upgrades simpler, faster, and dramatically less expensive.
