QuickBase Users to Share Strategies, Best Practices for Teams to

Company Also Launches QuickBase Sync for
Connecting Islands of Information in the Cloud
EMPOWER 2015 – Intuit QuickBase, the collaborative
platform-as-a-service that allows business people to create their
own custom applications without writing code, announced the opening
of its first annual user conference, EMPOWER 2015, which began
Tuesday, May 26th and extends through Thursday, May 28th at the
Hyatt Regency here in Chicago. EMPOWER 2015 was created to offer
Intuit QuickBase customers an annual forum to share their
experiences, challenges and ideas for best practices around driving
digital transformation within their organizations.
At EMPOWER 2015, Intuit QuickBase customers and partners from
around the world will be on hand to attend more than 30 educational
sessions and workshops featuring QuickBase users and industry
experts, including Henry F. De Sio, former COO at Obama for
America, and John Rymer, VP and principal analyst at Forrester
Research. Attendees will also learn about how QuickBase is helping
accelerate employee and team innovation resulting in the
dramatically improved ability to solve core day-to-day “get work
done” business challenges.
“The rise of the citizen developer has forced a shift in
thinking about the traditional divisions between line of business
and IT,” said Allison Mnookin, vice president and general manager,
Intuit QuickBase. “The lines are blurred beyond recognition, so
Intuit QuickBase’s focus is on empowering those closest to the
problem to take an active role in solving it with technology. This
digital transformation is giving rise to new possibilities for
reinventing and optimizing business processes so teams can become
more efficient, agile and productive.”
Announcing Debut of Intuit QuickBase Sync
Integration has become a strategic priority for driving
innovation via an open approach to solving business challenges by
sharing data and expertise across communities. Also at EMPOWER
2015, Intuit QuickBase is announcing the launch of QuickBase Sync,
a powerful new low-code data integration capability built into the
QuickBase platform. QuickBase Sync enables technical and
non-technical users alike to connect QuickBase with their
application ecosystem in just a few clicks and start syncing data
automatically. No more data scattered across application
islands.
With QuickBase Sync, businesses will have their most current
data in one place, their QuickBase app, so they can create holistic
reports, gain actionable insights and make better business
decisions. QuickBase Sync currently supports integrations to
popular cloud applications including QuickBooks Online, Salesforce,
NetSuite, Zendesk, Zuora, Intacct and Bill.com. The capability is
live and fully supported in production for Intuit QuickBase
customers now.
“QuickBase Sync makes gathering and managing information a
breeze,” says Paul Lanterman of OMS Photography, an Early Access
Sync customer. “Sync has changed the way we see our business by
tying together expenses stored in QuickBooks Online and project
data managed in QuickBase. We now have the 'Holy Grail' of
accurate, automatic reporting of profit and loss percentages on
every project.”
Intuit QuickBase strives to empower its users to become citizen
developers so they can build, customize and connect apps to their
unique requirements, while also helping to reduce the growing
application backlog of IT managers. QuickBase offers robust
flexibility at a cost its users can afford as they learn and
prototype against newer business processes and workflows during
early growth years. In turn, IT managers benefit from the security
and governance capabilities needed to maintain control and lower
risk. By jointly developing and delivering new business
applications, enterprises deliver on the promise of quality
customer service, stronger operational efficiencies, more accurate
financial reporting and better HR governance policies and
procedures.
