environments, centralized tape library, contacts & management reporting.
environments, centralized tape library, contacts & management reporting.
- Very agile & flexible. Apps can be developed very rapidly; it is also easy to make modifications to an existing app based on new requirements.
- Multiple reporting formats. Can provide information quickly when adhoc requests are received from stakeholders for information.
- Excellent customer service. The turnaround time to respond to questions is always very fast.
- Easy access to educational tools via their on-line resource centre, Youtube & user community.
- While 'Automation' is a very useful feature, performance is poor when processing a large volume of transactions.
- The maximum number of dynamic filters in a report is 5. As a workaround a report is created with required filters as a result of this limitation.
- Limited data storage for a table. While the reporting capability is excellent, workarounds have to be implemented to prematurely purge data & maintain the previous record status.
- Improving our ability to drive insights from our data
- Improving collaboration across one or more teams
- Solving a specific business challenge
- Building and deploying an application (or multiple applications) that meets our exact needs
Within my work stream I was able to model a workflow and develop a Quick Base application to replace a very manual execution process. The overall process was optimized and provided improved, accurate reporting metrics. As the program expanded, extensions to the app were made to manage & report on new tasks added to the workflow.
