US Army Awards Appian Enterprise Agreement to Support AI-Powered Transformation Efforts

New Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) and authorization of Appian Defense Cloud IL5 environment enable the Army to deploy mission-ready capabilities faster

MCLEAN, Va., Jan. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Appian (Nasdaq: APPN), a leader in AI-powered process automation, today announced the US Army has awarded the company a new Enterprise Agreement (EA) that provides the Army the ability to purchase up to $500M of Appian Platform licenses, maintenance, support services, and cloud services over a 10 year period. This comprehensive framework endorses the Army's software modernization and AI-powered transformation efforts and accelerates warfighters' access to trusted, mission-focused solutions. The Army's transition to an enterprise-wide licensing structure with a predictable annual cost is expected to reduce total cost of ownership substantially.

"This award reflects the Army's strategic IT vision for modernization by consolidating contract actions across the Army into a single Enterprise Agreement (EA) to promote cost efficiencies, while embracing AI-powered process automation and low-code application development to deliver capabilities through the Army cloud environment," said Army CIO, Mr. Leonel Garciga.

Appian Defense Cloud accelerates secure, AI-powered mission outcomes
In addition to the new EA, Appian Defense Cloud (ADC) is now Authorized to Operate (Conditionally) (ATO-C) by the Army, further supporting their push for faster adoption of secure commercial technologies. ADC brings commercial parity to an IL5 environment, ensuring warfighters always have access to the latest AI technology. The ADC Army enclave is interconnected with the cARMY 2.0 environment as a cloud  tenant, enabling faster, more scalable, and integrated performance.

"This Enterprise Agreement is about more than access to technology; it's about outcomes. By combining enterprise-wide licensing, a secure SaaS landing zone in Appian Defense Cloud, and outcome-based delivery services, we're enabling the Army and Department of War to move from pilot projects to mission-ready capabilities at scale, with speed, predictability, and confidence," said Michael Beckley, Founder and CTO, Appian.

The EA grants access to the full Appian Platform across all Army organizations and missions, which can enable the digitization of complex processes in weeks not years.
