Putting QuckBase to work

QuickBase is used by my organization for facilitating the workflow of all project management processes across all applicable knowledge areas. It has helped us to address business problems such as standardization of processes by providing a framework for many tasks and efficient communication through automation of notifications with granularity. It has also helped my company with business process improvements that we identify through use of the software and later correct with software improvements.

We have realized benefits by building custom applications that are faster and easier to build than with traditional software development techniques. We accomplished this by using staff members from the business side and teaching them rapid application development.

No traditional programming experience required to build a fully functioning application. Moderate-level Excel skills are quite helpful in grasping the concepts of building QuickBase apps and with manipulation of data. Single-purpose apps can often be built in a matter of hours.

As a cloud based application "updates" really aren't necessary although we make changes/improvements to our apps quite often. Most updates are done in a live environment during business because of the low risk to harming the application/data.
