For example; the University of South Florida, which completely transformed the College of Public Health’s advising and course registration process. Using Appian’s mobile application development platform, the College of Public Health was able to remove the paper-based student and course catalog information and instead digitize the entire process – and data – in a mobile app. Students can view their own academic record and register, add, and drop courses from their Apple or Android device. The result? The institution slashed the average course registration process from about two weeks to just a few days. Faculty and students, a particularly tough crowd to please when it comes to meeting mobile expectations, are thrilled with the new system.

Aviva plc is the largest insurer in the UK with businesses across Europe, Asia and Canada. They provide their 34 million customers with life, general, and health insurance as well as asset management across the globe. Their number 1 core value is ‘care more’. In order to do that you need to know your customer. That’s where Appian came in. To comprehend the customer and to treat them special. The result? Appian consolidated Aviva systems in a radical way, from 22 to 4. All 4 are written in Appian so they are perfectly symbiotic with each other. Appian streamlined the whole customer journey. Aviva now handles a customer request 9 times faster and saves 40% on customer services costs while increasing their Net Promotor Score.  Aviva has truly transformed around the customer.

Appian bridges the gap between business and IT
To meet the evolving expectations of digital consumers, which could be customers and employees alike, businesses must optimize their mobile strategies. But digital transformation requires careful business-IT alignment. Organizations that empower employees to create new apps and services in an ungoverned manner can keep IT in the dark, creating complexity, costs and risks and new data silos. Companies that segregate technology within the IT department can leave users without the flexibility and responsiveness they require. The Appian digital transformation platform bridges the gap between business and IT teams, providing the combination of speed and power needed to drive positive change.
