Designed with the business user in mind, Intuit’s QuickBase is the fastest, easiest and most
flexible way to help teams work together.
QuickBase provides one platform from which workgroups can easily create unlimited
applications to automate business processes and improve communication and collaboration
online. QuickBase applications solve critical business problems and help improve productivity
and efficiency because they are tailored by the user to match the exact workflow and unique
needs of their team - something complex point solutions or generic spreadsheets simply can’t
match.

Used by more than half of the Fortune 100, QuickBase is the only proven team collaboration
platform that’s perfect for business users – regardless of size, location or industry – while
delivering the visibility and control IT executives need to manage enterprise-wide deployments
in large companies.

benefits of robust functionality without any technical knowhow and high upfront costs. Moreover,
they can get started almost immediately with just an internet connection, without having to go
through long implementation cycles, invest in expensive IT infrastructure, or hire expert staff
for on-going maintenance. Our integrated suite of online tools covers the entire range of
productivity needs that exist in every organization – business email, contact management,
calendaring, document management, intranet and extranet workspaces, forums, online databases,
web forms and much more.
