McLean, Va. —  November 2, 2020 — Appian (NASDAQ: APPN) today announced it has been named the leader by Nucleus Research in its 2020 Value Matrix for Low-Code Application Platforms with the highest combined score for usability and functionality. The independent analyst firm is a global provider of ROI-focused technology research and advisory services. Its report evaluated 15 low-code vendors and their product offerings.

The rigorous evaluation criteria for product functionality and usability were further broken down into:

It unites end-to-end processes across an organization through advanced low-code tools for Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Business Process Management (BPM), Decision Rules, API Integration, Case Management, and AI.”

In addition, “the platform’s visual design paradigm and pre-built templates enable a developer to skip writing code and focus on delivering impactful business applications. Non-technical users can also leverage Appian’s citizen development capabilities to create applications without compromising the platform’s performance, governance, and security.”
