Frequently asked questions

Yes. Airtable is available through multiple government procurement channels to streamline purchasing. We work with government resellers authorized under state contracts, cooperative purchasing agreements, and GSA schedules. Our team can connect you with authorized resellers who understand public sector procurement requirements. For larger deployments, we offer enterprise agreements tailored to government fiscal cycles and budget processes.

Airtable provides enterprise-grade data protection with granular, role-based access controls at the field level. You control exactly who sees what—from SSNs to case notes. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. When using AI features, you choose between leading providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) with zero customer data retention guarantees. Your constituent data stays yours and is never used to train AI models. We support data residency requirements and provide complete audit trails for compliance reporting.

Most government teams see value in days, not months. Start with a single use case—like permit tracking or grant management—then expand as teams see results. Airtable integrates with your existing systems (Tyler Technologies, Accela, legacy databases, Microsoft/Google suites) rather than replacing them. You enhance current workflows without expensive rip-and-replace projects. Many agencies begin with departmental pilots and scale organically as word spreads.

Government ROI goes beyond dollars saved. Airtable helps you measure what matters: faster constituent response times, reduced application processing delays, increased transparency, improved compliance rates, and better cross-department collaboration. Many agencies track metrics like hours saved on manual data entry, reduction in missed deadlines, increase in services delivered, and improved constituent satisfaction scores. We help you define success metrics aligned with your mission and demonstrate impact to oversight bodies and taxpayers.

Both. Airtable's no-code platform empowers non-technical staff to build workflow apps without IT support—think program managers, grants administrators, permit coordinators. At the same time, IT maintains governance through centralized security controls, integration management, and admin oversight. This "citizen development" approach frees IT from basic workflow requests while ensuring standards compliance. Many governments run internal "builder" programs to train department champions.

Airtable is working toward full authorization. Our platform meets stringent government security standards including SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 compliance. We offer field-level permissions, comprehensive audit logs, and enterprise-grade data residency controls. For federal agencies, we provide detailed security documentation to support your ATO process. State and local governments use Airtable today under their respective compliance frameworks.
