Appian named low-code technology leader
Process automation software provider Appian has been recognized as a low-code technology “leader” in the Low-code Technology Providers in Insurance PEAK Matrix Assessment 2023 from Everest Group. Insurance organizations seek support to manage the technology environment, address talent shortages and respond to changing market dynamics, according to the report. They are increasingly relying on low-code technology for rapid application development, integration and meeting time-to-market needs. Appian’s recognition as a leader is based on its strong value proposition to fulfill insurers' diverse needs across the value chain, the firm said.
“Appian has done well in elevating insurance industry mindshare by offering exhaustive out-of-the-box functionality to automate insurance processes, unify data across systems and showcase credible success proof-points with life and non-life carriers,” commented Vigitesh Tewary, practice director at Everest Group.

ABBYY reports strong revenue growth for AI solution
Intelligent document processing (IDP) provider ABBYY reported a 60 percent increase in new annual recurring revenue (ARR) in 2023 for its artificial intelligence (AI) platform ABBYY Vantage.

“The intelligent automation market is at an inflection point where IT and business leaders are eager to adopt generative AI because of the ease of use and quick responses it offers with simple tasks, such as rephrasing content,” said Ulf Persson, CEO at ABBYY. “We are augmenting our products and solutions with this transformational technology, building on decades of experience developing document-focused AI.”
ABBYY was also recently named a leader by analyst and research firm IDC in its vendor assessment. “ABBYY is known for its expertise in structured and semi-structured document classification and extraction and continues to extend its customer deals further into unstructured document use cases,” commented Matt Arcaro, IDC’s research director, computer vision and AI.
