WPPWPP Adopts Appian for Back-office Automation
WPP, a communication services organization in the United Kingdom, uses Process HQ from Appian to support back-office automation for operations analysts.
Operations analysts at WPP review repetitive desktop work in Process HQ rather than in personal files.
“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.”
“Appian is a process automation platform that combines low-code apps, data fabric, and robotic automation for operations teams.”

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.
