This was an interesting year, to say the least. When the stay-at-home orders were issued, we got all our office-based employees set up to work from home and ensured everyone had the time needed to take care of new, unexpected, and potential challenges that came from living during a pandemic. Fortunately for us, we have practiced the ‘art and science’ of working remotely for a good number of years.
Once the work-at-home aspect was sorted, we decided to intensify our efforts of developing, delivering and supporting products and services that simplify the work of Revit users around the world, all the while keeping our team connected and motivated through activities such as virtual coffee chats.
We are grateful for what we achieved together this year. We connected with existing customers, welcomed new customers and met with potential customers – all virtually. We documented it on our website. Check out our blog posts, recorded webinars and short how-to videos for details. Here are some highlights:
