 Hi everyone, I'm Sam Cahane. You're watching theCUBE on the ground from QuickBase in Power 2017. Excited to kick off the event here. This is our first guest, Joe Skola. He's the Senior Director of Technical Operations at Sage Payroll Services. Joe, welcome to theCUBE. Thank you. First time. It is, yes. Excited to be here. Great to have you. What did you think of the keynotes this morning? I thought it was wonderful. We're excited about what QuickBase has to offer this year and we're looking forward to it. Great, so Sage, how can you tell us about your company? Sure, Sage has been with Sage about 17 years. We've been using QuickBase for about eight of those years. Sage Payroll Services uses QuickBase throughout our operation from sales all the way through operations. It's really been our cradle to grave application for managing our customer base. That's great to hear. Out of those 17 years, how many of those years do you think you've been using QuickBase? It's been about seven or eight years now. Great, and your role, can you tell us a little bit about the day-to-days? Yeah, I work with technical operations. Really, my focus has been with our work with QuickBase. We acquired 17 different companies in the last 15 or... 17 different companies, that's amazing. Yeah, it's been 17 different payroll companies. QuickBase was the tool that we used to combine those companies into one operation. Really, we had disparate systems throughout and QuickBase allowed us to bring all of those applications and all of those companies into one operating system and just really to manage our business. Wow, so let's talk about the numbers, the efficiency numbers. What have you seen using QuickBase? Well, one thing, for example, every payroll that was submitted to us was touched by someone who had to go in and manipulate the numbers a little bit. Now, QuickBase has it to the point where only 10% of them are touched. So we've increased the number of accounts per rep by 70%, and also at the same time, been able to spend more time on the phone with our customers where it matters. At Sage, who is actually using QuickBase? The Sage payroll division in North America uses QuickBase. It integrates with 17 other applications that we have. They're separate databases for our payroll and other applications in Sage, and information flows nicely in and out and become really efficient for us. Right, and then at the event here, what are you looking to learn while you're here? Well, I'm going to attend a bunch of the sessions and see what's upcoming. I'm part of the product council, so I've seen a lot of what's coming in QuickBase, and I get to participate in that. So just really looking to learn a few tips, like from other users, and see how they're using QuickBase, and also a few of my associates are here, and I hope we can go pick up a few things to help us out too. Great, great. Well, I appreciate you kicking off the cube here today. Anything you want to leave the viewers with? Any last words? Go with QuickBase. If you're looking at other applications out there that are to compare, go with QuickBase. You'll love it. Joe, I appreciate it. Thanks for coming on theCUBE and CUBE Nation. Thank you for watching. Cheers.
