Appian supports a very wide set of potential enterprise use cases that would be difficult to boil down to a simple decision tree. 
 
But as inspiration, we suggest you check out our customer stories how other organizations have applied Appian to solve their business challenges.

As Malcom mentioned there&#x27;s no 1 decision tree to decide to build your applications on Appian platform. And as other practitioners mentioned, some of the questions no longer apply with Appian. 
 
The way I see it and everyone should start thinking is, it&#x27;s not just a case management application or a just a BPM tool. 
 
It&#x27;s a very powerful application development platform. 
You can see the platform overview here: www.appian.com/.../ 
 
There are many SIs that can help you navigate this new concept called low-code development platform. Please let me know if you need any help.

Appian is a Case Management application, so use it whenever an organization needs to keep track of records, they have internal or external facing processes, when they need to look at reports etc. Typical examples are Banking, Insurance, Retail etc.
