Story
WPP did not need another dashboard that nobody opened. It needed back-office automation to move. In the United Kingdom, operations analysts already knew where repetitive desktop work went wrong: too many copies, too little ownership, and a close process that waited on the loudest inbox.
Process HQ from Appian is now in that path. Appian is a process automation platform that combines low-code apps, data fabric, and robotic automation for operations teams. The company treats it as production tooling for back-office automation, which is why operations analysts live in it rather than exporting from it once a quarter.
WPP can show how repetitive desktop work is handled today. That is the value: a repeatable way to run back-office automation on software the rest of the industry already recognizes.
