Appian buys Lana Labs
The start-up is a spin-off of the Hasso Plattner Institute. It is the second successful sale for the institute in just a few months.
The US low-code platform Appian has bought Lana Labs from Berlin. The purchase price is being kept secret for the time being. Lana Labs is a spin-off of the Hasso Plattner Institute from 2016 and offers AI and machine learning-supported process analyses (process mining) for companies. The start-up was founded by Thomas Baier and Rami-Habib Eid-Sabbagh, who both completed their doctorates at the Hasso Plattner Institute.
The buyer Appian is a platform-as-a-service company and helps companies to program their own software applications. "There is a natural synergy between process mining, process modeling and automation," says Appian CEO Matt Calkins about the purchase. "What we believe: With the acquisition of Lana Labs, we at Appian are able to create a unified experience for customers, from analysis to implementation."
This is the second major sale for the Hasso Plattner Institute in just a few months. In January, SAP acquired the HPI spin-off Signavio for almost one billion euros.
