Appian hosted an inaugural EMEA Partner Solution Cup competition in London to see who could create an award-winning solution to benefit our growing global ecosystem of customers and partners. Appian invited our partners to form teams and create a solution prototype to support a compelling and marketable use case for insurance, life sciences, manufacturing, or supply chain operations.
Each team was to build a solution on the Appian Low-Code Platform and leverage capabilities such as process mining, data fabric, robotic process automation (RPA), intelligent document processing (IDP), and artificial intelligence (AI). Submissions were required to include an overview of the new solution's market potential and a go-to-market plan.
Five finalist teams participated in live judging at Appian Europe, where each team had the opportunity to present their solution and its market potential to a panel of internal and external judges:
- Neil Ward-Dutton - VP, AI and Intelligent Process Automation | IDC
- Irfan Mukhtar - Head of Automation | AVIVA
- Fabian Czicholl - Regional Vice President, DACH Sales | Appian
- Greg Adams - Senior Director of Global Partner Solutions | Appian
- Gijsbert Cox - Industry Leader, Insurance | Appian
- Gary Cassell - Industry Lead, Manufacturing & Automotive | Appian
