After more than nine years of hosting QuickBase discussion forums on QuickBase itself, we’ve decided that it’s time to join the 21st century and move to a more purpose-built platform. It’s been a great run, but it’s time to give our users more functionality and a richer experience.
As of Monday, September 14th the QuickBase discussion forums will be hosted on Intuit’s Community Forum platform. The Intuit platform provides easy access to discussion forums for most of Intuit’s products and services and gives users a voice in the development of the site.
It takes commitment, understanding, and a whole lot of know-how to create a vibrant and helpful community like you have. Over the years we’ve been participating right along with you (Big shout out to Jess!) and it’s been great to see everyone contribute whatever they can to improve the discussion. Go ahead, take a bow.
Here are some of the features we think you’ll like about the new forum:
- Rich user profiles including contact information, photos and bios
- RSS and Email subscriptions to forums, questions and answers
- User comments on questions and answers
- Rich Text editing for posts
- Point system that rewards helpful and prolific community members
With this move we’re looking forward to a new chapter for this community. Not only are we excited to provide a more complete discussion experience, but we’re really looking forward to seeing new faces and hearing new voices in the forum.
Best of all we can’t wait to hear from you. What are you looking for in a community? What motivates you to contribute? What would you say to someone who’s a community skeptic? What’s your best story about how our forum has helped you? We’d love to hear your thoughts on any of the above… better yet, save it for next week and post it to the forum. There could be some QuickBase swag in it for the best story or the most compelling discussion. Next Friday we’ll let you know who took home all the cheddar!
Thanks for being a part of this tremendous group of people and most of all, thanks for using QuickBase!

THINKstrategies, Inc., announced that Intuit’s online database, QuickBase has been named the latest winner of the Best of SaaS Showplace (BOSS) Awards program. The program is aimed at promoting the measurable business benefits being delivered by today’s Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions.
Some of the customer examples that were highlighted in the press release represent the benefits QuickBase customers are seeing, whether they are using QuickBase for Customer Service Management, SOX Management, Project Management or CRM:
- Citizens National Bank spent $150,000 for Siebel CRM software and an additional $350,000 in integration costs, only to find out that it didn’t meet the needs of their relationship banking team. Citizens replaced Siebel with QuickBase, costing only $249 for 10 users, plus $3.00/per month for each additional user, improving the productivity of their call center team and level of customer service delivered.
- Google estimates that QuickBase delivers cost savings in the $100,000-200,000 range by saving 1,500-2,000 administrative man-hours of work over the course of a year managing its SOX compliance efforts, according to Erik Jonte, Google’s IT Risk Manager.
- Kayak.com avoided spending $300,000 a year in salaries and benefits for an estimated 12 extra staffers to run traditional customer-service software by leveraging QuickBase for a subscription fee of $10,000 per year. Kayak uses QuickBase to manage projects, vendors, and some accounts.
- Pure Water Technologies estimates it has saved $50,000-$100,000 annually by migrating to QuickBase from Saleforce.com. This includes reducing administrative staff by 75 percent; saving $3,000 per month in CRM cost; and gaining more than 50 hours of sales time daily.
