What:

            Appian, the leading provider of human-centric business
            process management (BPM) suites, today announced a free,
            60-minute webinar entitled, "Collaborative BPM: Connecting
            People to People" on Thursday, April 13 from 2:00 - 3:00
            p.m. Eastern Time. Featuring speaker Bruce Silver,
            Principal of Bruce Silver Associates, the webinar will
            focus on how today's high-performance organizations are
            recognizing the benefits of integrating BPM with dynamic
            collaboration tools.

            As organizational processes and workflows become more
            automated and interconnected, companies are relying more
            on inter- and intra-organizational knowledge and expertise
            to make critical operational decisions. BPM involves both
            a business methodology of analyzing and measuring
            activities and events across the enterprise, as well as
            technology tools for managing, monitoring and improving
            these processes. By leveraging BPM in conjunction with
            collaboration technology, organizations can experience
            greater efficiency and agility, broader visibility and
            actionable business insight. Appian is realizing this
            synergy today, delivering a comprehensive BPM suite that
            directly embeds collaborative technology such as shared
            workspaces, discussion threads, weblogs and document
            management.

            In this free webinar, BPM expert Dr. Bruce Silver will
            walk attendees through the basics of BPM, identify the
            compelling reasons to invest in this powerful technology,
            and describe how collaboration tools will benefit their
            organizations. Silver is an independent industry analyst
