APPIAN
“ Appian , a unique software provider focusing on Low- Code , is blazing a trail with its proprietary protocol that ’ s redefining the way in which code is created , deployed and modified in the commercial environment ”
– Matt Calkins , Appian ’ s founder and CEO
Appian Tempo to arrive here we had to convince them that they needed unique software to define unique relationships with clients , track customer journeys and assert their brand identity .”
Deciding to break from the conventional approach of Appian ’ s respective sector in 1996 , Calkins explains the foundations of Appian ’ s philosophy , before explaining how this single-minded attitude also permeated the financial culture . “ We came up with the idea that designing software should be as easy as drawing a flow chart . And unlike other tech companies that develop a so-called war chest to fund growth , we only used the money we made to grow our business . We broke even from day one until we went public ; a very unusual thing to do .”
