Products & services

Appian’s core product is the Appian Platform, a process-automation platform for designing, automating, and optimizing enterprise and government workflows. Its capabilities include business-rules engines, pre-built connections and API integrations, intelligent document processing, robotic process automation, and AI.[12][13] Its patented Data Fabric provides a secure, performant way to unify and access enterprise data without requiring that data to be migrated.[14][15]

Appian offers subscription service tiers, from standard features to premium tiers that include process mining and broader AI integration.[16] Process HQ combines process mining, Data Fabric, machine learning, and generative AI to help identify process-improvement opportunities.[17] Appian also provides professional services to help customers build and deploy applications; its partners may refer subscription customers, deliver implementation services, or sell solutions built on Appian.[18]

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, Appian reported $318.0 million in subscription revenue, about 78.4% of total revenue, and $87.4 million in professional-services revenue, about 21.6%. Cloud-subscription revenue was $256.2 million, up 23.9% year over year. The company reports these revenue categories rather than revenue by individual named product.[19]+2 [12]+10

Company history

Appian was incorporated in Delaware in August 1999. Its founders included Matt Calkins, Mike Beckley, Marc Wilson, and Bob Kramer.[26][27] The company evolved from technology consulting and portal software toward low-code applications; in 2010, it launched Appian 6 and the initial Appian Tempo release as it expanded its cloud-based business process management offering.[28][29]

In May 2017, Appian completed its initial public offering and began trading on Nasdaq under the ticker APPN.[30] In 2021, it acquired process-mining company Lana Labs, adding process mining to its low-code automation portfolio.[31][32] [26]+6
