Automating Business Processes with Complex Workflow (E): Appian excels in automating business

Note: Building highly-interactive reporting or data exploration applications (A) is possible in Appian,

but it's not the platform's primary focus. Accommodating applications that need to run completely

offline (B) is not one of Appian's core capabilities, as it is primarily designed for online, connected

applications.
