Appian Corporation Announces ''Leveraging Visio Process Diagrams in BPM Initiatives'' Webinar Featuring Partner Zynium.

Appian Corporation:

What:

Appian, the leading provider of human-centric business process
management (BPM) suites, today announced a free, 60-minute webinar
titled, "Leveraging Visio(R) Process Diagrams in BPM Initiatives" on
Wednesday, June 21 from 3:00 - 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Featuring
Appian partner and speaker Dutch Dwight, COO of Zynium, the webinar
will focus on how today's organizations can harness their investments
in Microsoft(R) Visio(R) when transforming business processes into
automated systems.

After spending significant time and money documenting the graphical
view of their critical business processes using Microsoft Visio, many
global organizations are realizing the limitations of Visio's static
process maps, specifically the inability to fully support dynamic
processes. Without real-time, end-to-end business process management,
execution, and analysis capabilities, companies cannot automate,
monitor and improve their processes, making it especially difficult to
achieve and maintain compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley and Six Sigma
quality control requirements.

During this free webinar, Phil Larson, Industry Liaison Chair of the
WfMC and Dutch Dwight, COO of Zynium will discuss the key methods and
tools that enable organizations to reduce business process management
implementation times with Visio. The webinar will highlight for
participants how to export Visio diagrams to industry standards like
XPDL 2.0, import Visio diagrams into BPM suites, and achieve
compliance while maintaining existing control systems that rely on
processes by being documented in Visio.
