Commenting on the survey, Adolf said the “greatest opportunities for AI will come from connecting it to the processes that drive mission outcomes.”
In January, the Army awarded Appian a 10-year enterprise agreement with a ceiling of $500 million for Appian Platform licenses, maintenance, support services and cloud services. Appian Defense Cloud also received conditional authorization to operate in an Impact Level 5 environment.
