What an action-packed week at Sibos, the world’s premier financial services event held last month in Amsterdam. It was exciting to be back with other industry leaders to talk about the future of banking and how intelligent automation is critical for success. Appian is modernizing processes for some of the largest banks, including many in attendance. In fact, we were excited to kick off Sibos on stage together with our client Rabobank, the second largest bank in the Netherlands.

A/B testing is the most effective way to observe users’ behavior with two or more different versions of the same screen or in-app experience. It can help you test variations of an item, generally UI based, to determine which one performs better. Directing some users to version A and others to version B allows you to observe user behavior for each.

When I first became an industry analyst, I was fascinated with vendor focus on key capability sets and engineering. The market shifted between acquisition cycles, new start ups, and development cycles for a go-to market strategy based on differentiated tools and capability sets. All of this jockeying for position based on feature sets created strong technology stacks that paved the way for a platform approach and eventual modernization and the transition to cloud.
