Use Cases and Deployment Scope

FRB is the largest Appian customer in the West Coast I believe. It is used across multiple line[s] of business like deposits, PWM, lending etc. It solves many workflow oriented problems such as onboarding.

Pros and Cons

Manages businesses workflows well. Increases delivery by [up] to 50% against traditional programming languages.
Fast to develop onboarding related applications.

Integrations- authentication mechanisms are still some[times] not out of the box like Snowflake, OAuth 2.0, [etc.]
Lack of source control makes it hard to manage environments. Need something similar to GitHub for Appian
