The Enlightened (and Candid) CIO

By Alex Chriss | Posted on February 2nd, 2008

The Candid CIO is one of my favorite blogs, not only because Will is a great QuickBase customer, but because he’s exactly our target audience — the enlightened CIO that totally get’s the power of Web 2.0 applications and services for personal use and within his organization. In his last post he talks about QuickBase (among other Web 2.0 reviews) saying, “We have over 3,000 applications in QuickBase. The vast majority are created by non-IT users.”

A CIO excited about applications created by non-IT users – leveraging the power of his business users – This guy gets IT!
