Many federal agencies use Appian to improve operations, including procurement, case management, and grants management. Appian has prebuilt solutions tailored to government needs, as well as a robust platform that lets government IT officials design, automate, and optimize any process.

Appian modernizes operations at state and local governments to improve efficiency, transparency, and the citizen experience. With Appian applications, state and local governments:

• Streamline tasks with automation and AI

• Quickly modify workflows to meet evolving needs 

• Access all enterprise legacy systems and data in one place, increasing accuracy and transparency

• Share data and processes where needed

• Conform to the most stringent security and compliance requirements

They improve the citizen experience with Appian by reducing costs, accelerating service delivery, and offering user-friendly portals for citizen engagement.

Common Appian use cases at state and local governments include grants management, case management, and eProcurement.

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) modernized its grants management system to make better decisions for funding 4,000 agencies nationwide. The Transit Award Management System (TrAMS) is hosted in Appian’s FedRAMP-authorized cloud. The system enables FTA workers and grantees to consolidate redundant activities and streamline grant management processes. 

The US Army uses Appian to modernize several programs: GFIM force management, ATEC AIMMS testing system, EBS–C ERP modernization, ACWS contract writing system, and FMS–ACES foreign military sales.

The US Marine Corp uses Appian for several applications, including equipment logistics and recruiting. 

One of the most notable is the Technical Data Modernization (TDM)–Catalyst project, an agile application that automates the weapons systems and equipment lifecycle. Developed in just 18 months on the Appian Platform and one of the first applications in the Marine Corps cloud environment, TDM–Catalyst is their logistics system of record. It consolidated six legacy systems with a single, cloud-ready database for all acquisition logistics. TDM–Catalyst saves countless hours for logisticians, equipment specialists, and item managers—enabling them to support warfighters more effectively.

The Marine Corps Recruiting Information Support System II (MCRISS-II) is another Appian application at the USMC. The system manages the recruiting process from the first moment with an applicant to the time they leave boot camp.

For more than 20 years, Appian has helped government agencies streamline their acquisition processes. Our easy-to-deploy, easy-to-integrate suite of acquisition solutions feature the latest AI and automation capabilities. 

Appian Government Acquisition solutions dramatically improve efficiency throughout the acquisition lifecycle. The powerful, low-code solutions streamline workflows and unify people and automation technologies, including robotic process automation (RPA) and artificial intelligence (AI). This combination unleashes efficiency and savings for government organizations.

By connecting once-siloed systems with Appian data fabric, the modular solutions provide end-to-end visibility into the acquisition process. Industry-leading workflow capabilities promote collaboration between IT and procurement departments, as well as with vendors, for better alignment.

Appian modernizes legacy government systems by letting customers rapidly build and deploy low-code applications that integrate seamlessly with existing IT infrastructure. 

Rather than requiring a full system replacement, Appian allows agencies to extend the life and functionality of legacy systems by creating modern user interfaces, automating workflows, and connecting siloed data sources. Its data fabric capability unifies data across systems without moving it, giving users a comprehensive and real-time view of operations while minimizing disruption to core legacy functions.

Appian’s process automation capabilities—including robotic process automation (RPA), artificial intelligence (AI), and business rules—help organizations automate repetitive tasks and modernize business processes.  

By serving as an orchestration layer, Appian empowers agencies to bridge old and new technologies for more agile operations and smoother transitions to future IT environments.
