Luxoft Holding Inc. has built a blockchain adapter for Appian’s rapid application development platform. It is now available exclusively to businesses using Appian’s Business Process Management (BPM) tool and will allow its users to integrate a blockchain network into their day-to-day business processes creating a secure, digital environment that facilitates data sharing.
“The launch of this adapter is about helping businesses realise the huge potential of blockchain by making it easier to use,” said Vasiliy Suvorov, VP of Technology Strategy at Luxoft. “Problems integrating blockchain into existing in-house systems are often the biggest obstacles to its adoption. Now, by integrating blockchain into a BPM, a business can leverage the benefits of a decentralised model whilst retaining its existing IT architecture. This means business don’t have to rip out their old IT systems to use blockchain.”
Luxoft will demonstrate how the adapter can be used to benefit the healthcare sector for the first time at Appian World in Miami, FL, US at the Luxoft booth (#16). In particular, Luxoft will show how the blockchain adapter can reduce claims processing errors and inaccurate medical bills.
The blockchain creates a secure, reliable and auditable way for medical and pharmacy systems to share and update real-time accumulators, meaning medical insurers, healthcare providers and pharmacies using the Appian Platform instantly have access to the same claim data.
