This year at Appian World, we announced the launch of Process HQ. This next-generation process mining capability combines both process and business data in a single place, automating process analysis and empowering users with intelligent recommendations for where and how to take action. And because it’s part of the Appian Platform, you can immediately apply these improvements to your processes using our AI automation and workflow orchestration capabilities.

Background jobs are essential to many Ruby on Rails apps. Since the introduction of ActiveJob, Rails developers have been able to manage their background jobs as natively as they do their database records. Still, ActiveJob requires you to select (and support) a backend adapter that will implement ActiveJob's backend. Many use Redis, a memory cache, to queue and process background jobs. Redis comes with incredible speed but is yet another dependency to maintain.

For organizations looking to automate processes for better performance, a combination of RPA and process mining can help. Let’s take a step back to understand why. Automation that’s implemented without data-backed decisions often yields poor results. And data without action leads nowhere. To get the most out of any technology investment, you have to be sure you're using the right combination of tools and techniques.

Videos dominate modern digital communication. They greatly impact marketing, education, and entertainment. When we look at the numbers, we see that 87% of marketers are satisfied with the return on investment from video marketing. The fact is that every video can be improved. Precision and clarity enhance the viewer's experience. This is where video annotation tools can help you out. You can use them to highlight, label, and add metadata to video content.

Network Telemetry, in simple terms, is like having a conversation with machines or systems located far away. It’s about collecting data from these distant sources to better understand how they’re performing. Think of it as a health check-up, but for machines or systems instead of people. This technology plays a crucial role in a variety of fields.

Data mining, also known as Knowledge Discovery in Data (KDD), is a powerful technique that analyzes and unlocks hidden insights from vast amounts of information and datasets. Data mining goes beyond simple analysis—leveraging extensive data processing and complex mathematical algorithms to detect underlying trends or calculate the probability of future events.

QA engineers and developers constantly worry that new updates will hinder the functionality of their applications. Regression testing tools prevent this and ensure that applications run smoothly after a code update. Most QA teams use automated regression testing software to save time and money while speeding up the release cycle. However, these benefits only apply when you use a web testing tool that suits your use cases.

Managed disaster recovery in BigQuery offers automated failover of compute and storage to a different region and a new cross-regional SLA.

IT security professionals need to recognize the critical importance of securing data pipelines in a data-driven corporate environment.

Snowflake Cortex is a fully-managed service that enables access to industry-leading large language models (LLMs) is now generally available. You can use these LLMs in select regions directly via LLM Functions on Cortex so you can bring generative AI securely to your governed data. Your team can focus on building AI applications, while we handle model optimization and GPU infrastructure to deliver cost-effective performance.
