Can Appian Process Models be exported to Visio or other tools? I would like to recommend Appian as our organization standard for business process modeling for the purposes of requirement diagrams. In other words, if the process is being automated or not, Appian could be our standard for creating business process diagrams. However, this is only an option if the BPMN 2.0 Process Models that are created in the Appian Process Modeler can be exported as BPMN 2.0 XML. Tools like Visio and Blue Works Live allow import and export of BPMN 2.0. If Appian does not allow this than it is a non-starter as our organization standard.

Thanks in advance for the information.

I agree with Stefan, we also do our business process modelling in Visio and a regular Wiki and implement the processes at the end in Appian. I am also not aware of any other BPMS vendor who mastered the roundtrip problem in a comfortable way.

There is a reason why there are tools out there specifically designed for Business Analysts (e.g. ARIS, Mega etc.). The focus is just very different.
