What is our primary use case?

Frameworks are normally made to help people working with a programming languages they are using to work more efficiently. For example, if you want to build your system using Microsoft features, then you should go use a .NET Framework. If you want to build your system by PHP programming language, then you can use a PHP framework like Laravel.  

The primary use for Laravel Framework in my case is for my PHP development of software and my web sites.  

How has it helped my organization?

Laravel has helped us to more efficiently spread our workload within our development team.

The PHP framework for web artisans
Love using this framework in my projects. It has a nice ORM(Eloquent) and uses cascading config pattern. It's very organized, uses composer to manage dependencies and is just all around great framework. I have used Laravel to successfully deploy custom CQRS e-commerce shop, a landing page clone based on launchrock and more. I highly recommend it for any custom PHP project. I have built apps n version 3 and version 4, and would recommend using version 4
