French Energy Operator GRDF Enlists Appian's Low-code Platform for Enterprise-wide Deployment
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
RESTON, Va., July 24, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Appian (NASDAQ:APPN) today
announces that leading French gas distributor GRDF will deploy its latest
enterprise application developed on Appian's low-code platform. The new
application is designed to manage the extension of gas distribution networks in
France, and will be deployed to more than 2,500 users across GRDF. This marks
GRDF's fifth major application deployed on the Appian Platform.
GRDF is already benefitting from Appian's low-code applications, which enhance
the customer experience and transform traditional business methods to more
efficient and agile processes. Appian provides GRDF with the speed needed to
capitalize on opportunities that the digital world presents, as well as the
power to streamline complex business processes.
Jean-Marc Wojtecki, Deputy CIO at GRDF, commented: "We solidly believe in the
power of low-code for building new applications quickly. Appian allows us to
innovate more efficiently as a business, which in turn leads to improvements to
the way we work. Low-code has helped us streamline our operations internally to
markedly improve customer service. The technology enables us to shorten software
development cycles and accelerate our digital transformation efforts. With this
latest app, we are planning to manage and to consolidate four applications into
one, resulting in lower cost and improving our employee productivity."
The new gas network extension management application is part of a
rationalization program. The single application will replace four legacy apps.
It is a Service Request case management system to handle any request for a gas
network extension coming from any gas vendor & provider in France. It will serve
up to 80,000 cases per year with more than 2,500 internal users, leading to
improvement in service for all.
GRDF has previously deployed several Appian applications, which have improved
process orchestration for specific gas supplier requests, management of issues
with energy loss, customer request management, and optimization of gas meter
connections.
"GRDF understands the value of using low-code development in central IT to
accelerate digital transformation," says Paul Maguire, Vice President of Europe
at Appian. "The energy sector carries significant technical debt in terms of
legacy systems and architectures. GRDF is showing the industry a better path
forward, and Appian is proud to be part of that."
