We’ve conquered the first month of 2020 here at Tidal with a ton of developments, and hope you have, too. Check out what we’ve been up to, and we’ll let you pretend that dry February (not January) was your plan all along.
In case you missed it in the holiday haze, here’s what 2019 looked like to our CEO David Colebatch in his Year in Review.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Only one week to go! Our full-day Cloud Migration Workshop is kicking off this Tuesday February 4th from 9-3pm EST at our offices at 901 King Street West in Toronto. Register now and get ready to meet industry leaders and fellow developers while our own David Colebatch walks you through the first 3 phases of the cloud migration process. Breakfast and lunch are on us!
Can’t wait? Take a sneak peak at a teaser of the kanban template you’ll walk away from the workshop with, gearing you up for migration with a comprehensive action plan!
FEATURE HIGHLIGHT
We’ve just added an Application Portfolio Report feature, letting you generate reports and charts in just one click!
Now it’s easy to export a full assessment report of all your applications, complete with assessment results, dependencies, and recommended migration order. Gearing up for an executive presentation? Export a set of charts summarizing your assessment and watch those heads turn.
