Quickbase enhances governance for controlling apps and workflows

Quickbase, the AI-powered operations platform, is offering new and expanded IT governance capabilities for managing the creation, scaling, and control of apps and workflows throughout an organization.

Taken together, these new tools relieve the management burden on IT and enhance the peace of mind needed when deploying app building capabilities across the organization, Quickbase said.

Quickbase balances the gap between business needs and IT policy with the application of enhanced application lifecycle management (ALM) and audit logs.

According to the company, IT gains the visibility they need to enforce governance without restricting the flexibility and freedom the business needs to drive growth.

New enhancements in the Quickbase platform include:

• Audit logs - Easily track every change with enhanced audit logs, providing wider and deeper insights into apps and integrations to troubleshoot issues and monitor app activity, with complete transparency.
• Enhanced APIs and ALM controls - Manage the lifecycle of your applications from start to finish—from planning and building all the way to retirement—supporting the continuous improvement and deployment of business-critical apps using a set of robust APIs support connected tables, forms, dashboards, and even cross-app relationships—empowering you to build, test, and update apps at scale while keeping full control.
• App summaries - Get a clear, concise overview of applications with Smart Governance AI App Intelligence, delivering AI-powered app summaries offering quick and easy understanding of app structures, permissions, and workflows, simplifying management, and optimizing usage.

"There is a push-pull relationship between IT and the business when it comes to governance," said Ed Jennings, CEO of Quickbase. "New technology tools let teams scale growth and innovation at the pace of the business but can move ahead of the setting and enforcement of policy around governance and data access and management. And if policies and standards are too lax, data security can be compromised; too strict, and IT can be overwhelmed managing every app. Our approach to governance makes it easy to set clear policies and in-product guardrails, empowering teams to innovate and giving IT the visibility and control they need to keep everything secure."
