The Appian BPM Suite is being used to manage the end to end contract delivery and also support HR, Finance and Supply Chain functions and processes. There are currently over 2.5 million people out of work in the UK. Pinnacle People's remit is to support JobCentre Plus by providing employment-focused training programmes for 4,000 people a month, as well as direct placement of people into work as part of the Flexible New Deal. Pinnacle will leverage Appian’s real-time analytics to provide their staff with access to program success rates at critical decision points in the process, empowering them to select the right personalised approach and improving the quality of service to the customer. Looking to the future, Pinnacle People are migrating their existing business lines into Appian to create an enterprise solution that underpins their entire business as well as future business growth.

The Appian BPM Suite provides a great opportunity for us to leverage significant value and competitive advantage.”

This is an exciting and strategic win for Appian EMEA.”
