What is QuickBase used for?

There four main uses for Quickbase. It's a "do a lot" application that packs the function of so many applications to a one stop shop. However, the four major functions are as follows: 

1. Magazine Development

2. Airline IT Project Management

3. Workflow for the approval process documentation

4. Customer Service

There are different needs from client to client and there are many available database management systems. The choice is up to the user and what program best provides a solution for him. We can only base our assessment on feedback such as the ones listed for Quickbase above. The usage of database management systems make the use of the desk top easier, clients normally use SQL. For Quick base, the usage are the ones above. It's really up to the user where they find the mostly practicality and efficiency. However, it is safe to assume that if you have a similar need from above, you should use Quickbase.
