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.

Greg, you can definitely open the Process Modeler in Analyst view and use that to support business meetings/diagramming. The Process Documentation capability can then be used to create copies to be circulated around.

In other words, Appian has analyst-friendly tools built in. I would NOT say that Appian recommends everyone pay for and use other tools for process modeling.
