Happy 2021 everyone. I hope all of you had a safe and happy New Year's weekend - one of the only few good things 2020 did was put Christmas and New Year on a Friday so we can all have long weekends. It was definitely needed after that year. Like…
I hope everyone out there had a Happy Holidays and even though this probably wasn't a normal holiday for you, that you were able to enjoy it and have some time with your family. As with almost everyone, I'm looking forward to 2020 being over with and letting 2021 have…

With Winter 21 being such a large release, we've decided to turn our usual 4-post release write-up series into a 5-parter (we probably could have done 6, but I'd definitely need more help writing these if we went there). Our first post focused on Sales Cloud and the new platform…

It's hard to believe, but Winter 21 is already almost upon us (for important dates, check out here). Summer 20 was delayed a bit, so that's definitely part of the quick turn-around, but I think everyone is just feeling that time, in general, is hard to get a handle on.…
