Which statement best describes an application?

• A. A collection of objects that make up multiple, related business solutions.
• B. A collection of objects that make up a singular business solution.
• C. A group of users in a system that work on a singular business solution.
• D. A group of users in a system that work on multiple, unrelated business solutions.

Answer: (B)

In Appian, an application is a single, cohesive package that contains all objects needed to deliver one business solution. It brings together processes, data models, interfaces, rules, reports, and other artifacts so they’re deployed and managed as one unit to meet a defined need. That’s why the statement describing a collection of objects that make up a singular business solution is the best fit. The other options describe either multiple related solutions (not one) or groups of users, which don’t define what an application is.
