review : bingo players - rattle incl . official music video out on tiger records
este track si que nos sorprendió verlo en mainstage music y que corresponde a nada más y nada menos que zatox quien viene de hacer muchos sonidos rudos el último tiempo y que intenta mantener de alguna forma en este track para mainstage music llamado sunlight , mucho más rápido que los anteriores realizados por artistas hardstyle . es decir , manteniendo los bpm’s zatox demuestra un nuevo sonido que en verdad suena bastante bien .

review : gareth emery feat . evan henzi - call to arms out on garuda / armada music
noisecontrollers no se quedó atrás y experimentó sin dejar de lado la escena hardstyle , realizando una producción dubstep de su track only you a través del sello mainstage music el cual causó revuelo teniendo una muy buena recepción por parte del público .
todos sabemos que headhunterz dejó la escena hardstyle hace mucho tiempo ( y al parecer progresivamente está volviendo ) . sin embargo , fue el primer ejemplo en llegar a mainstage music a través de su track junto a w & w llamado shockers .

mainstage music prodigy maurice west is back with another big festival anthem . armed with a hooking melody and a drop that guarantees plenty of hands - in - the - air action , ' robots in love ' will hit the crowd roaring in no time .
resetting mainstage preferences doesn ' t affect your project files , presets , or patches . however , you do lose any custom preference settings you might have made .

mark sixma inevitably caught the dance music bug growing up in now - famous breda , the dutch city that produced tiësto , hardwell , and more . after mastering the art of djing in his teenage years , mark decided to try his hand at making his own music to play live .
whenever dance music lovers stumble on the wondrous world of chicane for the first time and every moment thereafter , they know they ' . . .
sometimes an incompatible or malfunctioning external audio interface can cause issues with mainstage . if you ' re using an external audio interface , try using the built - in audio on your mac instead of the interface .
never failing to hit you up with a sound that’s both massive and of consistent quality , mainstage music lets you relive the smashing cuts you’ve heard at main stages all around the world . with powerful tunes from the likes of tritonal , qulinez , ørjan nilsen , and main men w & w ; , there’s lots of fist - pumping to go around .

since then mark has gone on to release on some of the biggest labels in dance music , including but not limited to : armada , black hole , spinnin’ , high contrast and flashover . also on his list of achievements is the mix compilation worldwide trance sounds vol . 6 on armada music .
hoy , entrando al mes de octubre , mainstage music nos sorprende con un nuevo track que corresponde a los grandes de bass modulator llamado let it move ya . un track bastante fresco , hard house si le quiere llamar así o como sea , simplemente está muy genial y que mejor que los artistas estén expandiendo su música , expandiendo la escena y sobretodo contagiándonos con sonidos provenientes del hardstyle .
as ever , you are one of many dutch acts on the lineup . why do you think there are so many global dance music stars from the netherlands ?
after ‘voltage’ and ‘dragon’ its time to release ‘ends of time’ which has been a fan favorite ever since the first play at ultra music festival in miami last year .

in 2013 , mark sixma made his debut on w & w’s fast - rising label ‘mainstage music’ with his epic smash ‘requiem’ . this fought off competition to hit the beatport trance chart at # 1 , beating the likes of world number one dj and producer armin van buuren , whilst also holding the # 1 slot on major digital download sites audiojelly and trackitdown , achieving a unique hat - trick of chart - topping positions !
as america’s most international dance music festival - and the first on the world’s festival season calendar - ultra music festival has the power to make a career . just ask krewella or martin garrix , both of whom hit the mainstage big time after paying their dues on smaller stages at earlier times last year . below are the 10 artists to watch at this year’s ultra , which begins today ( march 28 ) . they are likely to bounce their way up to the big show in a year or two . for now , you ' ve got to arrive early , but all of them are worth risking a sunburn for .
following up singles such as ‘the one’ , ‘arcade’ ( with dimitri vegas & like mike ) and ‘how many’ plus their respective music videos , w & w have added another chapter to their animated music video saga . for new single ‘long way down’ , the dutch duo have gone superhero mode alongside darren styles and artist giin to chalk up yet another head - turning audiovisual combo .
w & w released their debut album ‘impact’ , and shortly thereafter began their dominance of dj mag’s top 100 , snagging the # 36 position . the first release on mainstage music was w & w’s single ‘shotgun’ , which was heavily supported by djs like armin van buuren , hardwell , dash berlin , ferry corsten and many others . ‘shotgun’ was the follow - up single to w & w’s ‘invasion’ , the official anthem for armin van buuren’s a state of trance 550 world tour .
recording both as parliament and funkadelic , george clinton revolutionized r & b during the ’70s , twisting soul music into funk by adding influences from several late - ’60s acid heroes : jimi hendrix , frank zappa , and sly stone . the parliament / funkadelicmachine ruled black music during the ’70s , capturing over 40 r & b hit singles ( including three number ones ) and recording three platinum albums .
w & w , who’ve released their debut album ‘impact’ last year and taken charge of dj mag’s top 100 # 36 position , now become label - owners . the first release of mainstage music is w & w’s new single ‘shotgun’ , which already got the support of dj’s armin van buuren , hardwell , dash berlin , ferry corsten and many others . ‘shotgun’ is the follow - up single to w & w’s ‘invasion’ , the official anthem to armin van buuren’s a state of trance 550 world tour .
harboring a hint of nostalgia that boils down to the original’s eurodance roots , ‘god is a girl’ sees w & w and groove coverage pull out all the stops for a peerless mainstage smash . bringing the original’s timeless sound to today in dancefloor - wrecking form , they have clearly found another way to make the crowd go crazy .
before he turned 22 , michael brun was remixing for the likes of calvin harris , armin van buuren and even alicia keys . he released his first ep , “gravity , ” last fall on dirty south’s phazing records and makes his ultra debut this weekend . his sound is big , melodic , mainstage - ready and worth arriving early for .

known to us and to you as w & w ; , willem van hanegem and ward van der harst are bona fide stars of dance music , as evidenced by their ranking at number 14 on dj mag ' s annual top 100 djs list .
the early ’90s saw the rise of funk - inspired rap ( courtesy of digital underground , dr . dre , and warren g . ) and funk rock ( primusand red hot chili peppers ) that re - established the status of clinton & co . as one of the most important forces in the recent history of black music . clinton’s music became the soundtrack for the rap movement , as artists from mc hammer , to ll cool j to snoop doggy dogg depended heavily on the infectious groove of clinton productions as the foundation of their recordings .
¡ya lo saben para una próxima ! no se sorprendan a que los más populares artistas en hardstyle lleguen a tocar en un verdadero mainstage o que suenen en algún festival donde el hardstyle no es el principal protagonista . tampoco te sorprendas si los ves en algún escenario por haber realizado un collab con artistas edm como el remix de zatox al track de krewella x diskord – beggars creando un sonido notablemente fresco .
his first notable foray into trance music production saw him collaborate with def tactical whilst also releasing a project 6 e . p . at five am records . this was followed up by a release called destination 6 . it received tune of the week status on armin van buuren’s radio show a state of trance and was supported by the biggest names on the planet . the next single led to mark signing with armada music . fade 2 black was , once again , selected as tune of the week on asot , truly cementing mark as one to watch within the world of trance .
friday , august 3 at 8 : 00 pm - legendary rocker alice cooper will storm the main stage on friday , august 3 at 8 p . m . known best for his “shock rock” mentality , the inimitable artist has been rattling the music industry since his start in the early 60s .

disclosure isn’t here . but tourist , who signed to the duo’s method imprint last year , is . and though they share a bunch of friends and some house music love , tourist’s ‘90s r & b - influenced ; live - produced shows are a wholly distinct entity - an electronic jewel - box of wonder .
as a member of the dirtybird crew , j . phlip is automatically tech - house - credentialed . but once you see her dj you’ll be converted as a devotee of the west coast tech sound . smooth and jacking at the same time , this is booty - shaking forward - thinking dance music at its finest .
it’s great ! it keeps us sharp and always on the look out for new music and talent . to help others and give them a platform to show their talent is also a really cool thing we are able to do now . the label is growing quickly and the amount of feedback and demos we get is overwhelming !
clinton and many former parliament / funkadelic members continued to tour and record throughout the ’80s as the p - funk all stars , but the decade’s disdain of everything to do with the ’70s – especially the sound of disco – resulted in critical and commercial neglect for the world’s biggest funk band , one which in part had spawned dance music . .
huey lewis and the news cancels all 2018 performances . huey lewis has shared this message with fans : two and a half months ago , just before a show in dallas , i lost most of my hearing . although i can still hear a little , one on one , and on the phone , i can’t hear music well enough to sing .
in reviewing clinton’s illustrious career and success as a producer / writer / performer , perhaps his greatest achievement stemmed from his relentless dedication to funk as a musical form . funk as a musical style had been around for what seems like forever , deeply rooted in the music traditions of new orleans and the blues of the deep south . following the lead – and commercial success – of james brown and sly stone , clinton took funk to new heights , blending elements of jazz , rock , pop , classical and even gospel into his productions , eventually developing a unique and easily identifiable style affectionately called “pfunk . ” clinton’s inspiration , dedication and determination resulted in the elevation of “funk” music to complete recognition and acceptance as a true genre in and of itself .

it has a lot to do with the dance music culture and all the big festival here already in the beginning of the 90’s . also the first super star djs – tiesto and armin [ van buuren ] – really opened a lot of doors and inspired the youth to become djs and producers . next to that the government has been supportive of talent . these are probably be the main factors explaining the dutch dj invasion all over the world .

as you can guess the result is a super solid and tight production that lasts for 5 minutes but because it includes so many ups and downs you have the feeling that actually lasts for hours . the you tube community is commenting on the thunderous kick that is extremely large and can even break the thickest rock without doubts . the bassline is pounding and thunderous so i guess you should take extra care of your sound system . the main melodic theme in the breakdown is based on orchestral music and it sounds very epic , hair raising and mindblowing to say the least . replayed many times by various synthy plucks and synthy presets the euphoric melody will be easily memorised without doubts . the drop is powerful , intense , dynamic and one of those moments that you jump so high with joy and you simply forget the world , forget the people and you reach outer galaxies . summer festival anthem guaranteed and hopefully beatport main chart top10 !

this label has some good releases in their beginning , i ' m talking about the first 4 releases of w & w here and tracks like raptor , game over , bulldozer , remember this or requiem . the rest ? shit . this label was a curious fusion of trance , electro and progressive . now is just repetitive big room .
at 23 , the las vegas based 3lau ( you can pronounce the 3 as a b ) , has already built an impressive dj resume for himself . but with new single “how you love me” on universal’s recently re - launched casablanca records , he is poised to make his ultra debut as a bonafide big room producer ready for a breakthrough .
last year , along with borgeous , canadian duo dvbbs had a monster tune with “tsunami . ” that was just their first of many deadly waves to hit the edm shores . if you’re still shaking off your week when you arrive on friday evening , this set will wake you up .
dubstep lives in the pegboard nerds ! the scandinavian duo embraces the drops and the wub wubs . friends with krewella ( they’ve remixed their tracks and were featured on their track “this is not the end” ) , they also know how to connect with a crowd . if they play this right they’ll be playing a much later set - time next year .
progressive and electro , henry fong’s sound is custom - made for a stage like this . it’s big and expansive and utterly in - tune with what is next . with his california - cool demeanor , watching him play is a soothing experience in and of itself .
combining sri lankan rhythms and edm is more than just a gimmick for ranidu , it’s life - affirming and authentic . sonically , the result is unlike anything else on the ultra lineup . as america’s premiere international festival , it’s fitting that ranidu is this year’s most exciting ambassador of the ever - growing global dance scene .
deep house revivalists are one thing , but australian isaac tichauer goes a step further , incorporating the sounds of original house , nu - house and electro into his productions . as a producer , he’s one to watch . as an ultra performer , he’s one not to miss .
while he is steadily releasing his own productions now , makj’s origins are in the world of mashups and remixes , meaning that his dj set has all of the above . that means it’ll be a party in miami when he’s at the decks .

hemos visto que varios artistas hardstyle han estado experimentando nuevos sonidos y a la vez a muy distintos bpm’s en sus canciones dando origen en muchos casos al harddrop o también llamado hard house . uno de los primeros en dar el puntapié inicial fue wildstylez quien declaró en su momento que el hardstyle no necesariamente es a 150bpm’s generando un debate de opiniones cruzadas con sus pares como frontliner quien defiende los 150 .
continuando cronológicamente , sería el turno de otro dúo hardstyle que definió muy bien su acto en escenario evitando confundir al público y respondiendo a que no dejarán la escena hardstyle por otra pero si trabajarán en paralelo con otra . nos referimos a d - block & s - te - fan quienes en sus presentaciones edm se hacen llamar dbstf y es así como logran sacar este track llamado afreaka .
bass modulators tienen sin duda un gran nivel y potencial que han sobresalido por sobre muchos el último tiempo con su proyecto junto a noisecontrollers llamado ncbm . además de que fueron los creadores del anthem para defqon . 1 2015 dragonblood , cuentan con tal nivel de creatividad que han sido capaces de realizar un remix al track de armin van buuren & andrew rayel llamado eiforya .

born in kannapolis , nc , on july 22 , 1941 , clinton became interested in doo wop while living in new jersey during the early ’50s . . basing his group on frankie lymon & the teenagers , clinton formed the parliaments in 1955 , rehearsing in the back room of a plainfield barbershop where he straightened hair . the parliaments released only two singles during the next ten years , but frequent trips to detroit during the mid - ’60s – where clinton began working as a songwriter and producer – eventually paid off their investment .
the parliaments finally had a hit with the 1967 single “ ( i wanna ) testify” for the detroit - based revilot records , but the label ran into trouble and clinton refused to record any new material . instead of waiting for a settlement , clinton decided to record the same band under a new name : funkadelic . founded in 1968 , the group began life as a smoke screen , claiming as its only members the parliaments’ backing but in truth including clinton and the rest of the former parliaments lineup . revilot folded not long after , with the label’s existing contracts sold to atlantic ; clinton , however , decided to abandon the parliaments name rather than record for the major label .
by 1970 , george clinton had regained the rights to the parliaments name : he then signed the entire funkadelic lineup to invictus records as parliament . the group released one album – 1970′s osmium – and scored a number 30 hit , “the breakdown , ” on the r & b charts in 1971 . with funkadelic firing on all cylinders , however , clinton decided to discontinue parliament ( the name , not the band ) for the time being .
1978 - 79 was the most successful year in parliament / funkadelic history : parliament hit the charts first with “flash light , ” p - funk’s first r & b number one . “aqua boogie” would hit number one as well late in the year , but funkadelic‘s title track to “one nation under a groove” spent six weeks at the top spot on the r & b charts during the summer . the album , which reflected a growing consistency in styles between parliament and funkadelic , became the first funkadelic lp to reach platinum ( the same year that parliament‘s “funkentelechy vs . the placebo syndrome” did the same ) . in 1979 , funkadelic‘s “ ( not just ) knee deep” hit number one as well , and its album ( “uncle jam wants you” ) also reached platinum status .
during 1980 , clinton began to be weighed down by legal difficulties arising from polygram‘s acquisition of parliament‘s label , casablanca . jettisoning both the parliament and funkadelic names ( but not the musicians ) , clinton began his solo career with 1982′s “computer games” . several months later , clinton’s “atomic dog” hit number one on the r & b charts ; it stayed at the top spot for four weeks , but only managed number 101 on the pop charts . clinton stayed on capitol for three more years , releasing three studio albums and frequently charting singles in the r & b top 40 .
during much of the three - year period from 1986 to 1989 , clinton became embroiled in legal difficulties ( resulting from the myriad royalty problems latent during the ’70s with recordings of over 40 musicians for four labels under three names ) . also problematic during the latter half of the ’80s was clinton’s disintegrating reputation as a true forefather of rock ; by the end of the decade , however , a generation of rappers reared on p - funk were beginning to name check him .
along with the renewed notoriety and respect , clinton’s visibility and presence became familiar to a wider audience thanks to appearances in movies “the night before” , “house party” , “pcu” , and “good burger” , hosting the hbo original series “cosmic slop” , and doing commercials for apple computers , nike , and rio mp3 players . clinton also composed the theme songs for popular tv programs “the tracey ulman show” and “the pjs” .

saxon are an english heavy metal band , formed in 1976 in barnsley , yorkshire . as front - runners of the new wave of british heavy metal , they had 8 uk top 40 albums in the 1980s including 4 uk top 10 albums . saxon also had numerous singles in the top 20 singles chart . between 1980 and 1987 saxon established themselves as one of europe’s biggest metal acts , they also had success in japan and in the usa . in japan , the single “motorcycle man” stayed in the charts for over 5 months . they still tour regularly and have sold more than 13 million albums worldwide .
the band is the brainchild of rich ward and chris jericho , two larger - than - life , trailblazing personalities that have spent the past decade shaping their own brand of sonic splendor , ward’s incendiary guitars forging a path for jericho’s inimitable vocals atop a rhythmic foundation of earth - rattling proportions .
not that anybody should be surprised . ward is one of metal’s pioneers – the mastermind of stuck mojo , he soldered metal with rhythmic rap vocals long before it became fashionable , touring the world with some of metal’s biggest bands and being hailed as one of both pantera legend dimebag darrell and bls / ozzy axeman zakk wylde’s favorite guitarists . and frontmen don’t come more dynamic than chris jericho , one of pro wrestling’s biggest superstars , the embodiment of charisma , and the byproduct of lifetime spent immersed in heavy metal . ( more )
halcyon way is atlanta’s premier heavy metal band . they are known for their explosive live shows , instantly catchy melodies , precise vocal harmonies , incendiary guitar work , intricate yet pounding drums , and showmanship hearkening back to the glory days of arena rock . aurally combining the heaviness of bands like slayer , chimaira , devildriver , testament , and the like ; accessible melodies reminding you of bands like king’s x , disturbed , and queensryche , along with technical brilliance and a twist of dream theater , you will be pummeled with the punishing riffs while being lovingly caressed by the unforgettable hooks .

going forward , quickbase will remain in its cambridge , massachusetts headquarters and be led by ceo allison mnookin .
intuit announced today that private equity firm welsh , carson , anderson & stowe ( wcas ) will acquire quickbase , as part of its strategy to focus on small business and tax software . intuit had announced the spinoff of quickbase as well as demandforce and quicken last august , and today announced that wcas was the buyer of quickbase .
quickbase leaves inuit in a solid financial position . the company ' s revenue has been growing about 33 percent annually for the last 10 years and it is profitable . quickbase had more than $ 70 million in fiscal 2015 revenue . after the deal is complete , intuit said it will become one of quickbase ' s largest paying customers .
mendix is one of quickbase ' s top rivals . mendix was founded in boston , massachusetts } in 2005 . mendix competes in the application software industry . compared to quickbase , mendix generates $ 62 . 4m more revenue .
appian is one of quickbase ' s top competitors . appian is a public company that was founded in 1999 in reston , virginia . appian is in the application software field . compared to quickbase , appian has 455 more employees .
another complication is intuit’s announcement that it will be selling quickbase ( as well as some of its other products ) . a buyer hasn’t been announced which doesn’t inspire confidence about support for quickbase or its long - term direction . if a suitable buyer is found though , and assuming they don’t increase the price even higher , then we would still heartily recommend quickbase .
quickbase offers a low - code application platform that non - technical ‘citizen developers’ can use to build applications without writing any computer code . “intuit started thinking that quickbase would be focused on small businesses , ” explains allison mnookin , who had led the quickbase division at intuit and is now the new company’s ceo . “but low code is transformational for the enterprise . ”
quickbase prides itself in the extent to which business users can build applications all by themselves . “92 % of quickbase citizen developers have no coding background , ” says mnookin . as confirmation , most of the attendees at empower were such citizen developers .
quickbase has employees and is the fifth highest among it ' s top 10 competitors . the top 10 competitors average 269 .

quickbase ' s revenue is the second highest among it ' s top 10 competitors . the top 10 competitors average $ 10m .
we have partnered with sympo , inc . for a number of years now . sympo has been with us every step of the way as we have evolved our quickbase realm and continued to learn how to make our systems stronger . at times this has meant consultation for best practices in developing our apps , and more recently this has been by helping us develop integrations and external pages for our organization constituents . sympo has helped us ensure that our quickbase apps are as simple as possible for our staff , and they have developed professional pages for external data entry .
mnookin , however , is quick to point out that intuit represents only a fraction of quickbase’s business moving forward . “as of intuit’s last fiscal year ending july 31 , 2015 , quickbase generated $ 70 million in revenue , not including revenue from intuit , ” mnookin explains .
sympo , inc . has provided incredible support for our organization by working closely with our team to provide innovative ideas to streamline our processes and procedures , and provide timely feedback with any questions we have submitted about quick base , quick base / quickbooks integration , custom scripts , and more efficient ways to utilize quick base .
quickbase has over 6 , 000 customers including half the fortune 100 , with flagship customers like procter & gamble , google , kayak . com , swisscom , as well as intuit itself , who will become one of quickbase’s largest customers with more than 10 , 000 applications across all employees and departments .
outsystems’ ceo commented on the acquisition . “the market of quickbase and outsystems is a $ 15b opportunity but delivering a great low code platform to the enterprise requires a huge r & d investment , ” says paulo rosado , ceo of outsystems . “we’re hopeful this acquisition will make quickbase a worthy competitor . ”
a range of different versions of the service are available , starting with quickbase essential $ 15 ( £9 . 68 ) , per user , per month for a minimum of 10 users ( totalling £96 . 87 per month ) . this is the most limited version of the service , allowing you just ten apps , one customisable form per table , a single home page interface for each app , and lacking support for extra integration features such as quickbase sync and the quickbase api .
in fact , quickbase’s traction with enterprise and midmarket companies made it a poor fit for intuit , which is redoubling its focus on the small business and consumer markets . this move puts quickbase squarely in competition with established enterprise low - code platform vendors mendix and outsystems ( see my article on mendix from october 2015 ) .
rymer had been researching the growth of so - called
low code
platforms , which is what brought him to intuit quickbase ' s empower 2015 user conference .
sympo did a wonderful job assisting us with tying quickbase together with our online mapping program ( arcgis ) . the process was seamless and value was also very good .

in its latest release , quickbase continues to impress with a hosted solution that offers smoothly functioning custom databases that can be designed , maintained , and hostedall without involving it .
john carione , head of product marketing for intuit quickbase , told cmswire that the future of the platform ' s development will be equally skewed to professional developers as the citizen developers .
with a focus on letting business users get going with shared databases , quickbase ' s web - based solution offers hassle - free deployment and administration for any workgroup or small department .
bottom line : with a focus on letting business users get going with shared databases , quickbase ' s web - based solution offers hassle - free deployment and administration for any workgroup or small department .
even in quickbase’s case , however , customers often call upon third - party consultants or internal technical resources to set up early versions of their applications , and then let citizen developers take over from there .
fundamental to quickbase’s approach is the idea that everything you build with it is a self - contained app . while traditional database software would refer to tables , forms and reports , quickbase integrates everything and automates as much as possible . when you set up a table , the forms and reports to go with it are automatically generated for you . you can also add your own custom forms and reports as needed .
however , quickbase’s comparatively high prices sit a little awkwardly in the market . most small to medium enterprises that wish to give key teams the ability to develop data apps will at least need the features of the $ 500 ( £322 . 30 ) a month premier service . there’s no option of getting the same range of features for just ten users at half the price , for example , making quickbase a potentially heavy commitment for smaller smes . there’s definitely a place in the market for quickbase , however , particularly if your teams have outgrown the capabilities of excel or google sheets when it comes to tracking critical data .
today marks an exciting moment in the history of quickbase . as our first day as an independent company , the team is ready to get started and deliver the best possible experiences for our customers and partners .
low - code platforms like quickbase empower a wide range of people with little to no programming skills – known as ‘citizen developers’ – to build enterprise - class applications that run on mobile , desktop , or web .
as a hosted solution , one limitation of quickbase is that it doesn ' t talk to outside data sources ( as do access or alpha five ) . but with control over database backups and exports , you can create a batch interface to other systems or use the quickbase api to communicate from custom systems to your hosted database . generally , the focus of this powerful tool is to build databases that do one thing very well .
the rise of ‘citizen development’ signals the end of shadow it . that realization is one important takeaway from quickbase’s second annual empower customer conference , and its first since intuit sold the company to an equity firm earlier this year .
you can create databases from scratch , but since quickbase provides several robust , fully functional database templates for 44 real - world business applications , among them sales and crm , legal , it , and project management . the latest version of quickbase also adds several all - in - one options , combining marketing and customer information ( marketing all - in - one ) and project scheduling and resource tracking ( process excellence all - in - one ) .
quickbase also provides its users with one platform from which workgroups can easily create unlimited applications to automate business processes and improve communication and collaboration online . its applications solve business problems and help improve productivity and efficiency of its clients .
it ' s important to point out that even though quickbase seems more expensive than the other products here , you save a bundle on development and deployment costs . you also save on server hardware when you use a hosted model .
when forrester senior analyst john rymer attended the chicago - based intuit quickbase ' s first user conference earlier this year , he was surprised to find what he had come to suspect didn ' t really exist : a true citizen developer .
we have been partnered with sympo for many years at this point . they were not only very helpful with the creation of the quickbase application but have also been very attentive to the changes we need along the way . thanks sympo !
to commemorate the day , we’ve asked our ceo , allison , and some of our employees to share the reasons they are so excited for the next phase of quickbase and why the future is going to be even better and brighter than before .
the types of applications that citizen developers build can be remarkably varied and powerful . in quickbase’s case , most applications are replacements for emailing microsoft excel files around , or squeezing data out of microsoft access databases running on computers underneath people’s desks and the like .
the top 10 competitors in quickbase ' s competitive set are caspio , mendix , appian , trackvia , outsystems , knack , kony , k2 , intalio and data one . together they have raised over 871 . 8m between their estimated 4 . 0k employees .
with a strong emphasis on letting business managers , instead of it departments , design and use powerful , web - based , hosted workgroup applications , the newest version of quickbase for corporate workgroups continues to impress with a mix of a slick user interface and surprising depth .
intuit has owned quickbase since 1999 , but announced last august plans to divest the business , along with demandforce and quicken . demandforce was sold to internet brands in january and quicken found a home with private equity firm h . i . g . capital just last week .
demandforce and quickbase are great businesses , but they do not support the quickbooks online ecosystem , and both serve customers that are up - market from our core small business customers ,
intuit ceo brad smith said on a conference call in august following the divestiture news .
while there will always be a role for it to support especially complex applications , the application integration market is itself experiencing citizen developer – or perhaps ‘citizen integrator’ – disruption as well . quickbase , for example , partners with zapier , and recently announced a new partnership with workato .
but after scores of interviews of users of these platforms , which , like intuit quickbase , position themselves for line of business users that want to create their own custom applications without writing code , he hadn ' t found a huge number of line of business users actively developing apps .
for example , i interviewed heather bryant , senior manager of technical solutions at sodexo , a global facilities management firm . bryant joined sodexo right out of college after earning degrees in journalism and history from northeastern university . now seven years later , she’s built 130 business applications with quickbase .
quickbase is a cloud - based application and database platform that allows businesses to reduce their dependence on restricted local spreadsheets and databases , while giving staff the tools to create and manage data apps as they need them . it’s built to be simple , allowing staff to create databases without extensive training .
quickbase ' s main distinguishing feature is that it ' s a hosted solution , so instead of installing software , you sign up for accounts within a browser . intuit recommends internet explorer 5 . 5 or later to access all the design features , though other browsers will work for most operations .
quickbase aims to make app development easy , providing plenty of help and guidance on getting started . on top of that , hundreds of free apps are available from the quickbase app exchange , allowing you to use and modify them to your own requirements . once you’ve added an app from the exchange , you can customise it by adding or deleting fields , just as you would with an app you’d created yourself . available apps , from intuit , from third party developers , and from other users include project management tools , contact managers , asset tracking , and even support ticketing and crm helpdesk tools .
it’s clear this burgeoning market segment has turned a corner . “the low code market has finally arrived , ” explains allison mnookin , ceo of quickbase . and yet , the players in this space are not unanimous in how they define it , as the term ‘low code’ often competes with ‘no code . ’
intellyx advises companies on their digital transformation initiatives and helps vendors communicate their agility stories . as of the time of writing , outsystems is an intellyx customer . none of the other organizations mentioned are intellyx customers . quickbase covered jason bloomberg’s expenses at empower , a standard industry practice . image credit : jason bloomberg .
other low code vendors target different categories of applications . outsystems , for example , is particularly strong at supporting citizen developers’ efforts at building mobile apps – a capability that is a roadmap item for quickbase . “mobile is the cause for exponential growth of low code platforms , ” explains paulo rosado , ceo of outsystems .
the connector shows you different data sets stored on the remote service , and lets you import selected fields from one of them as a new quickbase table . the setup process allows you to choose exactly which data is imported and lets you configure a syncing schedule , allowing new entries from the remote service to be added automatically .
quickbase is a low - code platform that enables its users to create web databases and collect , manage , and share information . the platform enables its users to create their own custom applications or customize a variety of ready - to - use applications for project management , sales force automation , and it management without writing code .
sympo has created a game changer of a system for us . i ' ve been working with them for over a year . they ' ve developed , managed and provided technical assistance for our quick base account . what they ' ve created in quickbase is beyond our expectations . julie in particular has been a delight . i highly recommend .
quickbase premier costs $ 25 ( £16 . 11 ) per user , per month , with a minimum of 20 users and a much wider range of features , including customisable user rules , cross - app integration and relationships . plus there’s the ability to open apps up to everyone on the internet , rather than just your own logged in users .
quickbase realizes , however , that even such pseudocode - based integration tooling doesn’t cover every enterprise integration use case – and thus supports more traditional api - based integration as well . using modern apis is straightforward and would reasonably fall in the ‘low code’ category , but does require more technical skills than a ‘no code’ citizen developer is likely to possess .
we partnered with sympo to more effectively use quickbase and specifically to help create a better flow for how our tables were integrated . the staff was very easy to work with and not only improved our workflow , but also educated staff along the way , so that we understood the changes and could potentially make changes on our own in the future .
quick base is the platform that businesses use to quickly turn ideas about better ways to work into apps that make them more efficient , informed and productive . quick base is used by more than 6 , 000 customers , including half of the fortune 100 , across a variety of industries and use cases . please visit : www . quickbase . com .
quickbase automatically creates a report page for your tables , and generally makes a fair stab at displaying useful content from all but the most complex data sets . these , along with a shortcut button to create new data entries , provide an easily accessible front end to your app . however , if you’re working with a lot of fields , you’ll want to create custom reports .
given his audience contained hundreds of citizen developers , many of whom are building mission critical applications that integrate with existing applications , his opinion appeared at best out of date or at worst , simply misinformed . “we have many customers with quite a bit of success in those white spaces , ” quickbase’s mnookin counters . “citizen developers are the present behind the tree he almost missed . ”
but as rymer went about the activities at empower 2015 , he kept bumping into them — the operations people , that is , who putting together customized apps via quickbase ' s low - code platform - as - a - service ( paas ) . they weren ' t just here and there , or as part of a carefully curated group by the vendor . they were everywhere .
quickbase is an up - and - coming player in the exploding ‘low code’ platform market , as larger vendors like appian , mendix , outsystems , and urltoken have helped to differentiate low code platforms from overlapping markets like the application platform - as - a - service ( apaas ) and the earlier rapid application development ( rad ) markets ( see my october 2015 article on mendix ) .
quickbase is an extremely capable platform that allows you and your staff to quickly implement databases and apps without specialist development skills . it’s more capable and flexible than excel for carrying out data tasks such as task lists , stock control and tracking performance data . it’s deep enough to allow you to implement more advanced cataloguing and project management databases , or even use as a backend for your corporate support desk .
over the last year or so , quickbase has improved its customization abilities so that you can not only add or tweak table structures ( including creating new relational tables ) but also control the look and feel of your forms and reports . to test the database table feature , we created blank tables for products and customers , then imported more than 10 , 000 records via a csv file without encountering any problems .
although quickbase doesn’t have dedicated mobile apps , its mobile - optimised site gives you easy access to your databases . it looks and works more smoothly than many dedicated saas apps , allowing you to view reports and add new records in a touchscreen - friendly interface . if you need more advanced features , such as the ability to add a new table , you can switch to desktop site mode in your mobile browser .
we have came into contact with sympo after working with another partner on an application hosted on the quickbase platform . the development with the previous partner did not go well at all but with sympo we have experienced what a good consultant can really do for you in a super short time . sympo is providing a professional and prompt service and we have always been extremely satisfied with all of their work . thank you sympo .
quickbase , inc . ( “quick base” ) provides access to quick base service ( as defined below ) pursuant to the following terms and conditions . these quick base terms of service apply to both individuals and registered entities ( as defined below ) , and are effective immediately upon your clicking the

or upon accessing the service for which these terms of service have been accepted on your behalf . you may not use the service or any applications made available through the service until you or an authorized entity or individual who has granted you access , has read and accepted all of the terms of service . as used in the terms of service , the terms

all refer to both the person using the service in any way , including those registered as , for , or on behalf of a corporate entity , such as a company , business , affiliated entities , corporation , government agency , or other business entity and its employees , subcontractors , affiliates , and all other persons or entities permitted to access and use the service or any applications made available through the service in any way . for purposes hereof , “registered entity” means the customer of quick base that has subscribed for and is paying the fees for the service and expressly excludes the third party end users of such quick base customer .
control over user access is excellent , and you can decide who has view - only , read - write , and admin rights . unique in this review , quickbase lets you create e - mail notifications for data operations , so that if important records are changed , relevant users can find out . for the enterprise striving toward single sign - on , the latest version adds ldap support so that your users can authenticate against a common user store .
if you need something a bit more interactive , a grid edit box lets you and your colleagues easily add and edit multiple records at once . a range of different reports , charts and graphs are available , including pie charts , bar charts and line graphs , while quickbase’s summary report can show you how many records meet certain criteria , and act as a shortcut to displaying just those records . for example , we were able to see how many orders had been made by each of our clients , and then click in to view them .
you can pull out reports as a one - off for your immediate reference , or create permanent shared reports that automatically update themselves as new data is added . quickbase’s report creation options can be found by clicking into the table you want to extract data from , expanding the reports and charts option , and then clicking new . this bit of navigation isn’t quite as intuitive as we’d have liked , and some of the help documentation referring to it could be clearer , too . but once you’ve got to the report creation options , it’s all smooth sailing .
for larger enterprises , quickbase platform and unlimited give you a developer sandbox that allows you to create copies of live applications which you can modify and then reintegrate with the original app . other features at this level include custom branding , extra application and storage capacity , and more responsive support . they’re expensive , at $ 40 ( £25 . 78 ) and $ 65 ( £41 . 89 ) per user , per month respectively , but the range of features and potentially unlimited api accesses make them suitable for use as part of the core application infrastructure of even the largest of companies .
sympo ' s methodical approach was essential to helping us get back on track after a botched implementation with a service provider out of texas . aurora and her team assessed the implementation , they were diplomatic , took the time to reach out to the previous service provider and only after 3 weeks , helped figure out the areas that were not working . they are true business partners . they are there for us by email and phone . they have the technical expertise . and they understand the implications of quickbase and quickbooks to our business processes and financial reporting . they stick with it and use their technical expertise to ensure our business is supported . thank you !
alternatively , or additionally , you can simply specify the fields you wish to include , and enter data manually by hand . you can add entries using either a form , or quickbase’s grid edit option , which lets you add multiple entries via a spreadsheet - style interface . you have to manually save changes when editing on the grid , using either the save and apply changes buttons , or the control - s keyboard shortcut , which is captured by quickbooks when you’re using the grid entry screen . as your app grows , relationships between tables are easy to set up , with step - by - step instructions that guide you through the process , allowing you to easily use a lookup field to display content from one table in another .
at my previous company sympo was contracted to make some drastic changes to an application we had developed but didn ' t have the expertise needed for the changes . sympo did a great job gathering information about what the desired final product would look like and how it should operate . over the course of development they contacted me several times for clarification and also provided draft versions of the software for me to review and provide feedback . in all cases the feedback was received well and changes made to resolve any issues in a timely fashion . after completion of the project they spent as much time as needed teaching me how to use the new features . after project completion their support was as good as during development . i highly recommend sympo for business applications that are based on quickbase .
quick base has been a great tool for me and my team . my first exposure to quickbase came at a time when my team was in desperate need of a project management tool . the quick base team worked diligently with us to understand our business , and then to implement a quick base application that made the administrative piece of our business so much easier as well as providing an accuracy of data input and reporting that was previously lacking . it became so easy to share data with other teams . we were fortunate to be pioneers in our company with utilizing quick base . i would be remiss if i did not express the extreme professionalism of the sympo team . i always felt they had my teams needs first and foremost in their consideration . they spent a great deal of time understanding our needs before proposing the application . they helped us to understand the details of how the application would work and what the benefits would be . sympo has been a great team to work with , and i am very proud to be associated with them .
when creating your own apps or adding tables to an extant app , you can import data from an existing spreadsheet , either by copying and pasting or by importing xlsx , tsv , or csv files . you can only import a single sheet at a time though , so if your source workbook includes multiple tabs then you’ll need to bring each one in individually . note that character errors can result if you don’t ensure that your exported files use utf - 8 character encoding .
the report and chart generator lets you display and interact with your data in a variety of ways . you can add a simple table display , which just shows your data as though it were a page from a spreadsheet .
temporal data , such as due dates or a project’s active timespan , can be displayed on a calendar . we were also particularly pleased to find that you can display records that have start and end dates as a gantt chart , making it easy to display historical data and projected schedules for project management tasks . if you’re working with address data , you can even display it on a map ; on which note , intuit is signed up to the ( now legally defunct ) safe harbor data protection framework .
as saas , it’s by definition more connected than an access database or excel spreadsheet , allowing staff to easily share their apps , pull data from each other’s reports , and making it easy for you to monitor the apps created by everyone using your business’s account . the ability to pull data across from other services means that you can easily integrate external sales and crm platforms with internal processes .

investing in research and development , in fact , is one of mnookin’s top priorities , and wcas is fully supportive of such an investment . “we’re doubling down on product development and doubling our investment in r & d , ” mnookin says . “we’ll also be investing in sales and marketing . ”
such applications can meet the needs of the business quickly and efficiently , and can be an important part of how transformed it organizations empower self - service capabilities as part of broader enterprise digital transformation initiatives .
in fact , revenue from intuit accounts for a percentage of its business in the “low single digits , ” according to mnookin , “not a material part of our revenue . ”
the transaction with intuit is subject to customary closing conditions , including requisite regulatory approvals , and is expected to close during the first half of 2016 .

intuit maintained the strengths of each business , but said the companies were just too far outside of its core focus to justify keeping them .
financial terms of the deal were not disclosed , however intuit said previously it expects something in the range of $ 500 million in combined proceeds from the sale of each company .

a handful , here and there ? sure . a special cadre of users of the similar vendors in this space , such as caspio and snappii ? absolutely . but , overall , it seemed the majority of people using these platforms were professional developers , rymer told cmswire .
here would be a good place to note that the so - called citizen developer trend has been part of the tech vernacular for a few years . every so often a consulting firm or a tech publication will declare that the next evolution of enterprise technology will be led by these citizen developers .
lately , though , this trend has been gaining traction especially as companies as salesforce and microsoft release and build upon their own iterations of these platforms , lightning and powerapps , respectively .
but the breakdown of users had been unclear . professional developers have been gravitating to them in part because market demand for a certain feature or function can spring up overnight - - especially if it is a customer - facing function .
he sat next to them at lunch . he chaired a session full of them . he addressed a crowd and asked all the professional developers to raise their hands . few people did .
rymer left the conference convinced that low code platforms are a viable and increasingly popular tool for business users .
there is a split occurring between the professional and non - professional app developers in these platforms that is becoming very noticeable and significant ,
he now says .
at the same time , the use case is changing for professional developers that have added these platforms to their tool sets . rymer explored this issue in a recent research report entitled
low - code platforms deliver customer - facing apps fast , but will they scale up ?
( spoiler alert : the answer turns out to be yes ) in which he noted that
application development and delivery ( ad & d ) professionals
first began using low - code platforms on a project - by - project basis and are expanding from there .
as the use cases grow , it is essential that these platforms are able to scale to support bigger and more apps , he wrote .
professional developers , make no mistake , are a key constituent of these platforms however — and the vendors realize that .
“the market is moving too fast for anyone to create something from scratch , ” he says . “so regardless of whether a user is a professional developer or a citizen developer , folks have to be able to leverage a network other people solving similar problems using building blocks of apps based on repeatable use cases that can be tweaked and customized in the last mile at real time . ”

the central feature that all low code platforms share is an environment where non - technical business users can create and modify business applications . in the large enterprise environment , however , none of these vendors expect business users to perform all the tasks necessary to build and maintain the apps they have a hand in building .
the question , therefore , is whether ‘no code’ is really different from ‘low code . ’ in fact , both low code and no code platforms allow for it or other technical resources to add code when necessary . the real difference is how much application building business users can accomplish with no coding whatsoever .
outsystems recognizes , however , that mobile apps raise the level of technical expertise necessary to build enterprise - class applications . “building robust , highly usable mobile apps a complex set of technical skills , ” rosado continues . “platforms like outsystems abstract those skills with low code . ”
for citizen developers at small to midsize organizations , the integration required to connect low code apps to corporate systems is rarely more complicated than simple database queries – a capability that modern low code platforms easily support .
for larger enterprises , however , integration can be more challenging , as low code applications might have to connect to a variety of legacy enterprise applications or data stores . and while low code platforms from vendors like mendix offer broad integration capabilities out of the box , the vendor still has the expectation that technical personnel will assist with integration tasks .
outsystems realizes that citizen developers might tackle simpler integration tasks , while it personnel will likely take over once applications become more complex . “low code platforms enable citizen developers to build apps that while simple , integrate with existing systems , ” explains outsystems’ rosado . as a result , low code apps “can also evolve to become large mission - critical systems that can be taken over by it developers . ”
both zapier and workato offer simple , no code connectors to popular applications that citizen developers can use to integrate their bespoke app to a number of third - party applications . zapier is the simpler tool , while workato allows citizen developers to create loops and branches in their integration logic using english - like ‘pseudocode . ’
the presence of a gartner analyst at empower muddied the waters . according to his presentation at empower , gartner research vp mark driver believes that the citizen development sweet spot is for simple applications that are stand - alone and not mission critical . furthermore , any application beyond a certain level of complexity would fall in ‘white space’ outside the citizen development sweet spot .
this difference of opinion over just how sophisticated the apps citizen developers build , in fact , is at the heart of many executives’ concerns about the trend . after all , the more powerful low code platforms become , the more likely a security or compliance breach or other fiasco might result from citizen developers’ lack of technical expertise .
the underlying issue isn’t how powerful citizen developers’ apps are , but rather the shifting responsibilities of the it department – and this shift hammers a nail in the coffin of shadow it , as low code platforms provide new ways for the business to partner with it , rather than working around it .
in essence , the bring - your - own - device ( byod ) movement that prompted it departments to loosen the reigns of control over business users’ technology choices is extending into ‘bring - your - own - application’ space with the rise of enterprise app stores , and now into the ‘ build - your - own - application’ arena with today’s exploding low code / no code movement .
this organizational upheaval in it organizations , in fact , is one critical aspect of the transformation aspect of digital transformation – a work in progress at most organizations . “the it leadership mindset is still shifting , ” mnookin explains .
however , there’s no turning back , as low code vendors must continue to empower citizen developers . “the alternative would be moving slower than the market demands , ” mnookin says – an option no low code vendor has the luxury to consider .
