We are just two months away from our 2024 User Meeting in Hartland, WI. The Merge team is excited to meet with all of you face-to-face, especially in our newly renovated headquarters. It will be a true Merge homecoming – this year we’re opening our doors to you, where you will have an opportunity to forge deeper connections with our team, so we can better support you in achieving your goals.
The User Meeting will be a capstone to a year of momentum and growth that Merge has achieved in the last year. I’ll share some more on that later in the newsletter, but I want to make clear first and foremost that so much of this progress has been possible because of you. Whether it’s KLAS recognition for our products, Censinet certification of our cybersecurity capabilities, or some of our newest service offerings and product innovations, everything we do is shaped by your feedback. The User Meeting is a golden opportunity for us to continue that progress together.
If you haven’t already, check out our site with all the details on the event and RSVP for your spot at the conference. We are looking forward to it.
But the most important achievement we’ve made has been in supporting clients’ progress in their cloud journeys. Read my new blog on a couple of recent examples of how Merge has continued to work closely with clients to help them move to the cloud, with careful consideration for their unique environments.
