Transitioning from Access to Quickbase
With Microsoft retiring Access in April 2018, the Access community is looking for a different solution. Quickbase fits the bill. Quickbase is essentially the same as Microsoft Access — only it’s in the cloud and has additional benefits:
Advantages of Quickbase vs. Access:
- Access was single developer focused, whereas Quickbase is more of a collaborative environment.
- Access takes some query skills that Quickbase doesn't. You don’t need to be highly technical to create reports in Quickbase.
- Quickbase was designed to be in the cloud and has been there for 20 years.
- Access often required visual basic developers, Quickbase doesn’t.
- It’s easier to add, update and change information on Quickbase than Access.
- Quickbase allows you to create and customize forms and fields that can be tailored exactly to business needs.
- Quickbase ad hoc reporting allows you to slice and dice information in multiple ways that help to serve different audiences.
- Quickbase can easily integrate with all Microsoft documents as well.
