Anyone want help building a QuickBase “community”? We Do!

1by Peter Fearey under Industry Trends

I’m Peter Fearey; I manage our awesome engineering and product management team members. I’d love to hear some of your ideas about something. Over the last few weeks I’ve had some great customer conversations. One thing that has become apparent to me is that customers with a large number of users often develop their own internal QuickBase community. Here are some examples:

• One customer puts a "feedback" table into all their applications so that users of the application can provide the application managers with feedback.

• Another customer has a QuickBase application that all users and application managers use as a central "QuickBase help desk".

• Another customer has a quarterly meeting where all the application managers get together and share tips and tricks.

I believe the benefits of this kind of community are huge:

• Users and application managers learn from each other

• People could leverage each others work and share ideas

…the question just becomes…what should we do about it? And that’s where I’d like to ask for your help:

1. If you are developing a QuickBase community among your users and application managers, what has been successful and what hasn’t?

2. What would be your top three list of things we could do to help you in building community at your site, including product features, newsletters, customer stories, application libraries, etc.?
