  • Appian (NASDAQ: APPN) recently announced the acquisition of Lana Labs. These are the details.

Appian (NASDAQ: APPN) recently announced the acquisition of Lana Labs, developer of the LANA Process Mining Platform. And Lana is recognized for its expertise in complex enterprise processes, powerful AI- and machine learning-driven process analysis, easy data integration, and ease of use. Lana customers spend less time consolidating data and more time discovering process inefficiencies.

With its acquisition of process mining innovator Lana Labs, Appian is able to now deliver a complete Low-Code Automation Suite. And there is a natural synergy between process mining, process modeling, and automation. This acquisition means that only Appian will be able to take customers from knowing to doing — in a unified suite

By adding native process mining, Appian can now deliver the world’s most complete Low-Code Automation Suite. And the LANA platform has a leading proprietary machine-learning algorithm that automates the analysis of the most complex business workflows, making companies smarter and more efficient. 

Appian is now a leader in low-code process modeling and automation. And the insights gained from process analysis can be used to deploy mission-critical applications with the Appian platform. This result can be actionable and continuous process optimization with people, systems, and data unified in the same workflow.

Appian chose Lana Labs due to the shared virtues between the organizations and products. And the LANA platform is recognized as a major contender in the process mining industry by Everest Group. 

Lana’s AI-supported analysis of complex business and production processes aligns with the focus Appian brings to simplifying organizations’ important workflows. And like the Appian low-code architecture, the LANA platform’s product architecture is modern, container-based, and portable between AWS Cloud and customer-managed environments.
