One use case I had at a previous job was that they used word press for daily logs, inventory counts, hr portal, etc... Basically a form wrapper that would email the related departments with whatever the employees inputted.

Very simple and more then did the job. It costed basically nothing to use and pretty much anyone could maintain the site.

I could see a small company needing a quick and cheap way to make a portal. These are things wordpress should perhaps focus more on and move away from the blog being central, but still make it available.
