Career migration to Appian after 11 years in Sales / BD roles?

Hello all,

I have around 11 years of sales / BD work experience and I am thinking of migrating my career to Appian. With no exposure to coding / technical platforms, does this seem to be a wise decision? I am based out of India.

    In my experience, a successful Appian practitioner is half a developer and half a consultant. You will have to learn a lot to cover the technical aspects, but these are relatively easy compared to "real" programming. The other aspect is about advising your client in terms of methodologies and how to translate a business process into, well, an executable business process which is not run by people manually hacking into excel and email.

    I just released my book about low-code with Appian which might help you getting around. But do not miss the Appian Academy, trainings and tutorials.
