Quick Base Unveils Enhanced Strategic Development Platform, Highlights Increased Enterprise-Wide Adoption of Low Code Development

MIAMI, June 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Quick Base, the market-leading SaaS platform for developing integrated, custom-built business applications, announced a series of significant upgrades to both its platform and the infrastructure behind it at the company's fifth annual customer conference, furthering its push to speed up business innovation by improving the way organizations develop software.

The event, which drew record crowds to Miami last week, showcased an emerging trend toward enterprise-wide adoption of Quick Base. Senior leaders from more than a dozen name brand organizations demonstrated their approaches to adopting low code development at scale to meet the increased demands of customers while dealing with a worsening software developer talent shortage.

"Our customers are pioneers of a better way to create and manage software. They're picking up the pace of innovation by involving a broader set of people in the development process and creating cultures of continuous improvement. We're proud to be giving them the unique software platform they need and deserve – a mix of intuitive, ease of use and the ability to develop powerful applications for the enterprise," said Jay Jamison, Chief Product Officer, Quick Base.

"These enhancements to our strategic platform will connect everyone to the data they need, better enable continuous improvement and help organizations build a strong development partnership across the organization to solve problems that are critical to serving customers better. The response from Empower attendees was enthusiastic, and we're excited to see low code development becoming a mission-critical part of enterprise software."

In the company's biggest product announcement to date, Jamison laid out a four-part vision for the future of low code development.

"As businesses begin to adopt low code software at scale, we believe Quick Base needs to do four things. It must be accessible to anyone, everywhere to create, modify or access applications. Second, it has to be wicked smart, including AI-driven development. Third, the platform has to connect the right people with the right data at the right time. Finally, your technology platform has to be ready for anything – secure, fast, reliable and highly scalable."

In line with that vision, Jamison laid out a series of bigreleases, which were met by cheers from the crowd.

Improved access for anyone, everywhere
