“AI is only as effective as the process it lives in. Appian turns intelligence from a standalone capability into an orchestrated workflow that delivers real operational impact.“

– Sai Vijayendra Madiga, Global Head of AI, Roboyo

What We Heard in Real Conversations

Our team had some of the strongest engagement of any Appian event this year, and the themes were remarkably consistent:

• Legacy modernisation is a priority

Customers asked how to move older applications onto the latest Appian capabilities, especially Data Fabric and new AI components. This was most urgent for organisations approaching license renewals and seeking more value from what they already own.

• Strong appetite for clarity on “what comes next” with Agentic AI

Leaders want guidance on progressing from exploration to governed, practical implementation that aligns with their broader transformation strategy.

• Transformation conversations dominated the floor

Customers and prospects wanted to understand where Appian fits across their enterprise-wide transformation, not just isolated workflows.

• High-value engagement with Appian leadership

This led to extended onsite sessions with our team, demonstrating strong trust, alignment, and interest in next-step collaboration.

Together, these conversations revealed exactly where enterprises are heading in 2026:
modernisation, unified data, and governed AI embedded inside real processes.

What Appian Europe 2025 Proved

1. AI for Value

Organisations are moving beyond pilots and toward measurable outcomes such as faster claims handling, reduced cost, and better customer experiences.

2. Operational Resilience

The strongest enterprises are unifying people, data, and systems on a single platform.
Appian’s Data Fabric, Process HQ, and AI agents stood out for governance, insight, and speed.

3. Safe, Compliant AI

AI must deliver value while meeting regulatory expectations such as the EU AI Act.
Attendees praised Appian’s auditability and governance tools.

4. Modernisation for 2026

Evolving older apps with new Appian components is now essential — without needing to rebuild from scratch.

5. Process First, AI Second

When processes are designed intelligently, AI becomes predictable and measurable.
Layer AI on broken processes and progress stalls.
