Swiss Re Selects Appian to Support Their Workflow Needs

Appian, an innovative global provider of business process
management (BPM) technology, today announced that Swiss Reinsurance
Company, the world´s leading and most diversified global reinsurer,
has selected Appian´s BPM Software Suite to manage their workflow
requirements.

Swiss Re previously utilised a point solution for their workflow
requirements. However, as the business has rapidly grown, the demands
have become much greater. After an initial pilot phase it is planned
to use Appian Enterprise to manage mission critical operational
processes globally within the business.

Swiss Re made this selection after a thorough vendor evaluation,
conducted over nine months. After an in-depth analysis that covered
the product, the vendor and the management team, Appian was awarded an
Enterprise Site License contract.

Sami Hassanein, Director of EBPM Platforms at Swiss Re, said,
"Appian offered us a mature, stable, easy-to-use, and rich BPM
platform. Its workflow capabilities will be our primary focus. The
Appian product perfectly integrates into our existing product
landscape. Additionally we received excellent and professional support
and commitment from the Appian team during the evaluation project,
which also enables us to look forward to a long term future together."

Appian´s Managing Director for EMEA, Justin Thomas, said, "Appian
are very pleased to welcome Swiss Re as a Strategic Client to our
rapidly growing and valued European client base. We are fully
committed to maintaining and developing the already strong working
relationship with the Swiss Re project team. Together, we look forward
to supporting Swiss Re´s plans for scaling the Appian Enterprise
Solution. This will ensure that Swiss Re can realise the value of
workflow throughout the organisation."
