Automated remittance workflows have boosted speed and accuracy but still need geo-tagging improvements
Remittance is a crucial part of my integral operation, so any disruption would majorly impact our clients. After switching to Appian, we never faced any disruption as it is reliable and we can generate data at any point in time, quite faster than other tools in my personal opinion. Regulators can ask for data from us at any time, and with Appian, we download data from our Appian tools to share it with them whenever they ask. I would share a real-life example: a customer's transaction processed more than a year ago. Suddenly the customer came back asking for all the details. In our previous tool, it was quite difficult to generate transaction details from over a year ago; however, while using Appian, we can pull up data using different key search fields, such as a customer's cell phone number, remittance tracking number, or MT103 reference number. We shared it with the customer instantly, and the customer was surprised we could provide all the details in such a short time. It added reputational value for our organization, thanks to Appian.You have pointed out two major things: time-saving and reduction of error, which are key points while processing remittance. Previously, while using another tool, it was quite time-consuming to process remittance, but after switching to Appian, it can extract data from MT103, eliminating the need for manual data entry. The process has become fully automated. Previously we could process only five to ten transactions within an hour, but now, after switching to Appian, we can process about 100 transactions in an hour, making it 10 times faster. In terms of error detection, since Appian extracts data from MT103, the extraction rate is quite good, and the error rate is negligible, lower than 0.001%. We can share accurate, error-free data with the regulator, which is essential for us. Appian benefits us significantly. After receiving an MT103, we check what the remitter is, the amount, if it is under threshold for processing, and if it is from a high-priority remitter or client. Since Appian extracts data from MT103 messages and identifies top-level clients from the database, it can notify us to process their transactions with priority. Due to automated data extraction, there are fewer instances of error. In our previous tool, we reported regulatory data to the central bank manually and often received complaints about invalid purpose codes due to manual data entry. Appian handles this automatically, and after switching, our error rate has dropped significantly, resulting in positive feedback from the Central Bank of Bangladesh regarding our reduced error rates. This has greatly enhanced our organization's reputation. Appian is fully on-premises, and we have our own system.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Since implementing we have had a faster time to solution, with fewer resources needed."
"Appian has enabled us to automate business processes much faster so that our users can replicate them and use them on a daily basis to improve their productivity."
"When you consider the capability, what it can do, consider the price, consider the different advantages that it has, I think it's a superior product."
"Where Appian stood out was the full stack integration."
"Call Web Service Smart Service - Web service integrations with other systems are super simple and fast to create, supported by low code menus."
"It is easy for me to define the process and create configurable workflows."
"What I found most valuable in Appian is that it lets you drill down on multiple things through the structure of the reporting and UI side. It's also low-code, yet it results in quick deliverables."
"As long as they know what they want or what they need to digitize, Appian would be there to support the transformation that their corporation or their company would be needing in the future."
"The biggest benefit of using the product is identifying the issues, enabling a more flexible working method."
 

Cons

"Appian could improve their customer-facing initiatives."
"The product’s pricing could be improved from the developers' perspective."
"​Appian is easy to set up, but JBoss is complex. JBoss is the application server for running Appian."
"The solution needs more features. For example, a way to connect to our viewing database, to record, and more interface and component design."
"The biggest areas of improvement would be in facilitating team development, DevOps, and integration with typical tools used in enterprise development (Jenkins, Subversion, etc.)"
"The main challenge with Appian has been our inability to customize the user interface."
"The solution could improve robotic process automation."
"I would like to see more features for enterprises."
"The platform's initial setup process could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When it comes to pricing, it's definitely not affordable. However, it really depends on the requirements that you're seeking from the solution."
"It's an enterprise tool and can be used by enterprise only. So it's a very expensive tool."
"The cost is a bit higher than other low-code competitors, OutSystems and Mendix. The price needs to be more competitive."
"The pricing can be a little confusing to customers."
"It is expensive, but powerful. I would recommend comparing against cheaper licensing products and open source."
"The license is not very cheap. It's on the expensive side."
"You can't really test the software properly without actually buying the license first."
"If you're doing an enterprise-wide digital transformation, Appian is worthwhile, but not for just one or two use cases because the license costs are higher."
