 Hi everyone, I'm Sam Cahane. You're watching theCUBE on the ground at QuickBase Empower 2017. Really excited to have the CEO of QuickBase on theCUBE now. Rick Willett, Chairman and CEO, welcome to theCUBE. Hey, thank you very much. Thank you for bringing us. It's our first year here. And this is the third year of the event. How have you seen it grow over the past three years? Well, we just acquired, I'm part of the investor group that acquired QuickBase last spring from Intuit. So this is my second Empower. Great. 25% growth year over year in Empower this year. It's one of the key attributes of QuickBase that really attracted us to the investment is what we're doing for people's careers and their ability to grow their businesses faster than others. So I'm really thrilled with the talent I see of problem solvers in the audience. Great. And speaking of the audience, great keynote this morning with Mike Walsh to kick off the event. Can you talk about that a little bit? I can, Mike's a futurist and he jokes about being a futurist. But he was really insightful on some current trends that he sees and how that's going to impact the future of work. He really sees the explosion of data, but really what's being driven by that is the need for increased personalization of the customer experience. And also he really sees that while algorithms are taking over the world, they're not going to take over jobs. What it's going to do is it's going to change how work is done. What I really liked about a lot of what he had to say is that it fits incredibly well with QuickBase's mission of empowering those closest to the work the ability to solve problems every day. One of the key things I'll be touching on this afternoon. Right, so this is a sneak peek. So you're coming on this afternoon. Exactly. Quick on theCUBE. Great. I'll be talking about this afternoon is four key trends we're seeing that impact problem solvers. More data, more apps, more security threats, and a shortage of development talent. And now problem solvers have to interpret that and be able to drive business agility to allow their companies to grow faster and improve value faster. I'll share some data that the average QuickBase clients grows faster and has higher stock price growth than the S&P 500. Wow. And clients that use QuickBase more prolifically, at least 10% of their employees are active users. They grow four and a half times faster and have almost twice as fast stock price appreciation. And I think the reason for that is that we're really on that leading edge of enabling decision making to be closer to the customer and closer to the work. We're empowering folks with a no-code platform to continuously change their work environment to be able to drive business agility. That's what's allowing growth to happen faster and to improve the value of their companies. So empowering growth for your customers and you're this afternoon, you're holding a round table during your keynote. Can you talk about some of those customers who you're having on? I can, so we've got four just wonderful folks. We probably could have picked from a thousand. You know, we've got 15,000 builders of QuickBase today. That's grown 50% in the last three years. We selected four that come from all different functions. If we look at the industry profile of QuickBase, we match up with U.S. employment. If you look at the use cases that we're solving, we match up with the functions that a U.S. employment work in. They're from four different functions, four completely different industries, yet they're all using QuickBase to make their businesses more agile, faster, and create a lot more value for their employee base. Great, and I'd love to talk to you a little bit about the vision. You know, five years down the line, what do you see for the future of QuickBase? The future of QuickBase is probably more exciting than the history of QuickBase, which is also pretty exciting. If I look forward, we're going to own the no-code platform space. We're going to own empowering everybody to be able to solve business problems using software. There's no one that has the same relentless focus on experience, on the experience design that we do. I don't think there's anyone that understands how to create the flexibility to solve any use case in any industry the way we do, and we're going to continue to invest to make that happen. The second thing is that we're going to really ensure that as companies have, as thousands of companies have thousands of apps, that that's also a very secure and controlled environment, so that business users as well as CIOs will be enthusiastic embracers of QuickBase as that business agility platform that allows more folks to solve more problems every day. Rick, fantastic. Last words, what do you want to leave the viewers with? Thank you. We're super excited about all the folks that come to empower every year with so much passion for what we do. It's a wonderful endorsement of our strategy. Without our clients, we wouldn't be anywhere near as successful as we are, and I think with our clients, we're learning every day, we're listening every day, and our best days are in front of us, so we're really excited about that. Great. Well, Rick, thank you for bringing theCUBE. Thank you for coming on. Super. And CUBE Nation, thank you for watching. Thank you.
