Appian Corp (NASDAQ:APPN) is a US-based systems software company. The firms business model is centered around providing a low-code software platform for businesses to develop custom applications, which enables clients to automate processes and improve operational efficiency.
Key drivers of Appians revenue growth include the increasing demand for digital transformation, the adoption of low-code development platforms, and the expansion of its customer base across various industries. The companys financial performance is likely influenced by metrics such as revenue growth rate, customer acquisition cost, and customer lifetime value.

However, the absence of a reported RoE (Return on Equity) and a P/E ratio of 0.00 indicates that the company is currently unprofitable.
