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.

Actually, that is exactly what they do. I will quote for you from the Appain 7.10 help:
"Tools for Creating Process Diagrams:
Microsoft Visio is the recommended tool for creating process model diagrams."
forum.appian.com/.../Create_High_Level_Process_Diagrams.html
Bottom line is I can not recommend to my organization that Appian become the standard tool and repository for BA's doing process modeling when the diagrams would be stuck in Appian - which no way to export the BPMN 2.0 business process diagrams to any other tool and no way for BA's to still use their BPMN process modeling tool of choice and import their diagrams into Appian.
