Hi there,

It's crazy to think we're almost a third of the way through 2019, but here we are! And by here, of course, I mean April. Did you know that the traditional etymology of "April" is from the verb aperire, which means "to open"? Well, we're using that as our inspiration for this month's theme: it's all about thinking and being all things "open".

With that in mind, we kicked off this month by helping boost open lines of communication, with our new Calls feature bringing one-on-one video chats and screen-sharing to your intranets!

And it was with open arms that we greeted some of our customers when we got to meet them face-to-face at a recent conference here in Vancouver!

See? It's that simple! So this month we ask you to be of open mind, be open to suggestions, and of course...be open for business!

Cheers!

Vince

Hello from a Jostler!

Spotlight on...

We recently hosted a booth at the 2019 HR Conference in Vancouver. We were delighted to meet a few representatives from some of our customers at the event. Thanks Century Group and Fraser Valley Regional District for stopping by to say hello. Since we don't often see customers face-to-face, we loved hearing what you're up to and how your intranet is helping you each day. We're blushing but we're so grateful for the kudos and your happy workplaces!
