Experienced leader to drive business growth
and foster innovation in the Italian market with the Appian
Platform.
MILAN, Nov. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Appian (Nasdaq:
APPN), a global leader in AI process automation, today announced
the appointment of Silvia Speranza
as the new Regional Vice President of Appian Italy. In her pivotal
role, Ms. Speranza will spearhead strategic initiatives aimed at
propelling business growth and expanding Appian's customer base
within the Italian market. Her mission is to enhance the
competitiveness, productivity, and efficiency of Italian
organisations by leveraging the power of applications built on the
Appian Platform.
In Italy, the AI market in 2022
reached €500 million, with 32% growth in just one year, of which
73% was commissioned by Italian companies (€365 million) and 27%
represented project exports (€135 million). To date, 61% of large
Italian companies have already started at least one AI project, 10%
more than five years ago, and among these, 42% have already started
more than one.*
Appian recently announced its strategy and roadmap for
integrating AI into the Appian Platform, which provides secure,
reliable private AI to protect customer data while enabling new,
generative AI-based capabilities that make developers' lives
easier. Appian also has shown real-world AI use cases that
democratise access to AI for immediate use.
In Italy, Appian has helped
Poste Italiane decrease case
handling time from over 30 days to just 8 days, with a 70%
improvement in production efficiency. Iccrea Cooperative Banking
Group was able to create 13 enterprise banking applications in just
one year on the Appian Platform by using low-code. In addition, the
Municipality of Milan and its
partner created an app in less than two months to help citizens
obtain parking permits in the city faster and from their mobile
phones.
"Ensuring our customers' success has always been a personal
priority, and it remains at the forefront of our mission," said
Speranza. "I look forward to collaborating closely with our
dedicated team and valued business partners to help Italian
organisations transform and grow with innovative technology that
bolsters competitiveness."
She continued, "Appian solutions stand as the optimal choice for
facilitating the digital transformation of Italian enterprises. As
our country navigates this critical phase for its future, it is
imperative that we streamline processes, refine methods, and
optimise workflows to positively impact the lives of our users and
citizens."
As an experienced professional in the technology industry,
Speranza is an expert in the system integration sector and has held
Italian management positions for multinational enterprise software
companies. Having been part of the Appian team since 2018, she has
steadily assumed roles of increasing responsibility, contributing
to the management and development of several market segments in
Italy. Prior to Appian, she
managed the Italian market for Alfresco (now Hyland), overseeing
local and national public administration projects.
Silvia began her professional career in 2004 at Accenture, where
she helped Italian and foreign companies with transformation
projects in operations in telecommunications and other businesses.
