Analyst firm Forrester says 75% of all application development will use

low-code platforms by the end of this year, up from 44% in 2020. In Japan, the

rapid decline in the size of its labor force makes the need for advanced

automation even more urgent. In response, Gartner predicts the Japanese

low-code market will grow by 21% in FY2021.

Appian delivers complete automation, uniting business process management (BPM),

robotic process automation (RPA), and artificial intelligence (AI) in a single

workflow. Appian simplifies workflow design, making it easy to automate the

entire organization and improve business performance.

Appian Japan is actively collaborating with global partners including Wipro

Limited. The partnership with Wipro focuses on a unique solution to mitigate

End User Computing (EUC) risks for financial services institutions through an

EUC remediation platform. Appian's partnership with Ridgelinez Co., Ltd., will

help Japanese organizations accelerate process visualization, intelligent

automation, and governance enhancement, for finance and accounting digital

transformation. Appian Japan is also working with Pkutech Co., Ltd. to support

digital transformation that unifies BPM, AI, and RPA for Japan's largest

companies.

"We are excited to deepen our ties with Japan and its leading companies," said

Hashimoto. "Appian's global customers trust us to accelerate and improve their

most important business processes and automations, which helps them respond

more quickly to change."
