Application development made 10 times faster : the Appian way
Appian ’ s low-code platform lets companies build applications 10 times quicker ; for Pepper Money , it meant a mortgage broker platform built in three months .
I wish I ’ d known about Appian when I was the CEO of a fintech
Rick Browne , Regional Vice President Financial Services APJ for Appian , quips .
That first-hand experience gives him a unique insight into the pains endured by financial service providers . Browne started his career in North America before spending seven years in Latin America , four years in Europe and the last 12 years in Singapore .
“ Appian is an application platform that allows you to do a very complex thing in a simple way ,” Browne explains deftly . The low-code platform lets businesses build powerful applications quickly and on an enterprise scale . The business works closely with a wide breadth of financial partners including large banks , capital markets firms , insurance companies and lenders . “ We build applications 10 times faster than traditional ways ,” Browne tells us . This means that Appian ’ s partners can scale rapidly ; the resulting applications can be duplicated across other product lines or geographies while remaining easy to integrate with existing ecosystem partners or SaaS components .
Appian proud of its ‘ amazing ’ partnership with Pepper Money
Among its most significant partnerships is the work Appian has done with Pepper Money , the largest non-bank lender in Australia and New Zealand . “ The things we ’ re doing with them today are market-leading .”
By opting for Appian , Pepper Money were able to build a new mortgage broker lending application for New Zealand , going from concept to production – in a market where they ’ d never had a presence before – in just three months .
Appian ’ s success has brought growth of about 35 % a year ; in Asia Pacific , it is doubling that growth rate annually . “ We ’ re looking at a fire hose of growth ,” Browne predicts . “ As we manage this tremendous growth , a big priority is also retaining our great culture . Clients know we have the best platform , but they also know we have the best people . So we ’ re looking for the best people to be part of Appian .”
