Engagement Updates

First, some (relatively) big news! We are embarking on a project to streamline our communications with you. This means fewer emails to read, and more information in one place. In alignment with that project, this will be the last of our dedicated Engagement Updates, which will be incorporated into our general Dimensions newsletters beginning in 2023.

If you are not currently receiving our monthly newsletter, please sign up here to receive continued News and Engagement Updates.

Also in that regard, we will be ending our Community Slack channel pilot at the end of 2022. We gave it a whirl, but given the low level of interaction between customers, we are going to focus our efforts on our traditional channels of communication.  Remember, you can always also keep tabs on us via the following channels:

Twitter 

LinkedIn

YouTube

Dimensions website
