RESTON, VA–(Marketwired – May 25, 2016) – Appian, a leading BPM and Case Management platform provider, congratulates its 2016 Regional Partners of the Year and App Market Award winners. Appian’s Regional Partner of the Year Awards recognize the organizations that have turned significant investment in the development of an Appian practice into the highest value implementations for customers.
