• Learn how Airtable can reduce the need for custom-built applications
• Use Airtable to replace internal tools such as spreadsheets
• Build applications utilizing relational data–without any knowledge of software programming
• Evaluate whether you can build a solution on Airtable rather than purchasing software
• Understand the limitations of the Airtable platform when compared with writing a software application from scratch
