FAQ

Who does my implementation work?

When you purchase an Implementation Package, you get a dedicated and Openside-certified Airtable expert to do the work for you per your preferences, according to our Best Practices

Why does Openside use outside expert partners?

We’ve found from years of experience that often the best talent and capabilities come from a variety of situations and locations. By creating a team of dedicated Expert Partners, we’ve built a community of the best, who all are trained and certified in everything we’ve implemented over the years to best help you meet your goals.

How will I communicate with my Expert during implementation? 

We provide a private slack channel, dedicated video conferencing (with the option to record your meetings), and a project management framework. Keeping everything top of mind and current are key to helping each implementation go smoothly, and we’ve built in multiple layers of communication to make sure that happens.

What does Openside do for me?

We provide a tried-and-true framework for all your implementation needs to go smoothly and efficiently. Each certified expert in our implementation circle are certified to do great work, and a continuous feedback loop ensures communication stays open and current. Should any expert not meet your expectations, we provide transition assurance to find an expert you prefer.

We also give you access to our library of tools we’ve custom built to aid companies and groups to get the most out of their Airtable setup

What does Openside do to ensure consistent quality results?

We run ruitine audits with each of our Expert Partners to assess their capabilities and provide consistent quality results. This, combined with ongoing feedback loops with the clients themselves provides a tried-and-true framework for successful implementations.
