Gartner, Inc. recently published a Top 10 CIO Business & Technology Priorities in 2013list. It's interesting to note that BPM can address and achieve all top ten business priorities, when implemented with the right technologies and methodologies. The green check mark next to each Business priority indicates that BPM can help accomplish this goal.
The check mark next to each Technology priority signifies a match with Appian BPM Suite's capabilities: either as part of theproduct or as a solution. Furthermore, the worksocial approach from Appian is essentially taking collaboration technologies with workflow BPM (#4), enabling greater access of data and analytics (#1) to all users via mobile technologies (#2), available in the cloud (#3) or on-premise.
