Aytekin TankOpens a new window , Founder, and CEO of JotForm said, “Spreadsheets are great for working with data, but they have significant limitations and don’t work for teams looking to collaborate.

Speaking with Toolbox, CEO Tank said, “JotForm Tables is a revolutionary new product that gives teams a better way to manage, track, and organize their information. Tables look like a spreadsheet but act like a database and are incredibly powerful since it’s supported by a sophisticated online forms engine.â€
