Collaboration leverages Amazon Bedrock and
Sagemaker to power Appian's Data Fabric with generative AI
capabilities
MCLEAN,
Va., April 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Appian
(Nasdaq: APPN) announced today that it has signed a Strategic
Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to
make generative artificial intelligence (AI) more accessible to
enterprise business processes. Appian will invest significant
resources to find novel ways to combine Appian's native AI
capabilities and the Appian data fabric with the large language
models (LLMs) provided by Amazon Bedrock and machine learning (ML)
capabilities from Amazon SageMaker. Amazon Bedrock is a fully
managed service that offers a choice of high-performing foundation
models (FMs) from leading AI companies via a single API, along with
a broad set of capabilities organizations need to build generative
AI applications with security, privacy, and responsible AI. Amazon
SageMaker is a service to build, train, and deploy ML models for
any use case with fully managed infrastructure, tools, and
workflows.
Appian is designed to automate mission-critical business
processes in some of the most innovative, highly regulated, and
security-sensitive industries. These customers want to leverage AI
while maintaining the security of their data. They also face
shortages of data scientists and increasing information technology
(IT) backlogs. Appian's private AI approach gives enterprises
control over their own data and makes sure their data is not used
to train public models that other organizations can use. Appian's
low-code AI process platform with its Appian AI Skills capability
enables customers to easily incorporate AI into business processes,
letting AI and humans work together seamlessly.
"Appian's collaboration with AWS takes a major leap forward with
this announcement," said Michael
Beckley, CTO at Appian. "The AI economy is here and it will
quickly create a strong competitive advantage for organizations
that know how to use it. Enterprises that upgrade their core
business processes with AI and Appian's data-driven insights will
thrive while those that fail to do so will lose control of their
data and their future. Amazon Bedrock is an important enabler for
our private AI vision. Together, we give organizations the ability
to effortlessly use AI for process automation with data privacy and
security at the forefront."
"The Appian AI Skill Designer helps us get real value from AI
without needing a team of data scientists to figure it out. The
no-code design made it quick and easy for our developers to
incorporate AI into our existing applications," said Matt Richard, CIO at LiUNA.
By harnessing the capabilities of Amazon Bedrock, Appian gains
the ability to host LLMs within customer compliance boundaries and
privately customize those models, ensuring that sensitive data
remains secure and confidential. Amazon SageMaker allows Appian
customers to create, train, and fine tune proprietary AI models
using their own data. As AWS AI and ML services are designed with
security and privacy best practices, Appian customers can leverage
their data to receive more accurate and relevant results from their
generative AI applications based on the unique needs of their
businesses.
"Companies deeply care about security and privacy, especially
when leveraging AI. This collaboration between AWS and Appian helps
customers streamline mission-critical business processes
confidently by leveraging AI and machine learning in a secure and
compliant manner," said Chris Grusz,
Managing Director of Technology Partnerships at AWS.
