This week was described as uneventful in the traditional sense, yet it marked significant strides in customer migration to a new product.
Customer Migration Success
The podcast details a successful migration of 15 customers from the old BuildWitt platform to the newly improved version. One major customer with 2000 accounts was included in this first group, making the smooth transition a major relief.
