Saudi Food and Drug Authority expands BPM system

RESTON, VA -- Appian announced that the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) has expanded its use of the Appian BPM Suite. The SFDA initially deployed its Medical Devices National Registration System on the Appian platform. The system uses intelligent processes to drive the registration of medical devices entering Saudi Arabia, and to track issues with those devices while in the Kingdom. Based on its success, SFDA has deployed a second system for the same management of all medications and narcotics. The Authority is the first organization to have an internal Appian development team in the Middle East, working in conjunction with Appian's partner in the region, Secured Services Systems (SSSIT).

"The SFDA utilizes the most advanced technologies available to ensure the safety, quality and efficacy of the medical devices, food and medications available to the people of Saudi Arabia," said Khalid Al-Rsheed, E-Services executive director at Saudi Food and Drug Authority. "The Appian platform supports our mission to protect and maintain the public health by providing real-time analysis and guiding the right next steps for our Port of Entry Inspectors. Our BPM success has been greatly enabled by Appian's support, represented by the presence of Eng Mohammad Abusinnah and the professional services team."
