Incredible to hear from so many of you already, and absolutely loving these stories about how Airtable has helped break down silos, and optimize work across many different use cases! I can't wait to hear more of these stories and connections in upcoming user group meetings.
P.S. @SL24 I'm a CSU alum! Go Rams 💚 🐏

How has Airtable helped you unlock wins for your work in the EDU world? I have designed bases and interfaces that have been instrumental in tracking the progress of school & district plans and managing the spending from various budgets. It has streamlined so many processes, making task completion more efficient. I'm in Airtable all day, every day!

Hi all,
Nice to meet you all. We've had Airtable for about a year, and uptake among my colleagues has been MUCH higher than I would have guessed. The tool fits perfectly for a group of people who are able to teach themselves, especially since it's been very easy to see reasons why they'd want to teach themselves.
Also enjoying reading a little about all of you. I'm sure I'll be back with questions!

The wins so far have been the ideas and talent that we had here on staff. I mostly do tech admin stuff but I've been so happy to see staff take this tool beyond a spreadsheet upgrade to really build workflows in it.

How has AIrtable helped you unlock wins for your work in the EDU world? In the perpetually resource-constrained world of higher ed, it's refreshing to have a need for data storage, management, or visualization/dashboarding and not have to wait ages for a developer to spin it up. We can take charge of our own information and store it in a central location, integrate with other systems, and manage our work more efficiently. We primarily use it within our marketing team here, but always expanding to other use cases, especially the ones that Salesforce can't (or shouldn't) accommodate.
