It might be some of few haven't heard about Appian, so I would like to tell you in short about What is an Appian?
Appian is a technology that is a low-code automation platform that enables customers to automate the most important aspects of their business. Oh! it might be not meaningful, in a simple way we can say that Appian is a tool where we can build applications rapidly with the help of drag and drop features as it has a low-code platform. Appian is the best BPM tool to develop the business workflow rapidly. Low-code enables building the apps rapidly, building once, and running/deploying anywhere as it is platform-independent.
