Services UPDATE

Annie provided her final services update as she has stepped into her new role and introduced Nikki Curtis, your new Customer Service Manager.

She then took a deep dive into some statistics from 2022 while also discussing the new services on offer from Professional Services, plus the new features and resources available through the TASS Customer Hub.

Not only did the Professional Services Team double in size in 2022, but their offerings also continue to expand with 11 new Small Group Training topics added in 2022!

 

DEVELOPMENT UPDATE

 TASS has been working hard behind the scenes this year to deliver highly-voted forum enhancement requests for our customers. To be specific, since the start of 2022 TASS has wrapped 465 tickets into enhancements!

Brad also explained our new development cycle and the recent move from two major releases a year to monthly releases, resulting in customers getting the enhancements they need, more quickly. 

The new release cycle also saw the introduction of 'Friendly Releases' and 'Friendly Schools'. Friendly Schools take early access to new TASS versions to help with user acceptance testing and feedback.

TASS ORBIT

Earlier in 2022, Annie stepped into a new position as Head of Product - Mobile Apps to lead the new mobile app initiative known as TASS Orbit. 

TASS Orbit will be fully integrated and supported mobile apps leveraging the TASS Portal Products, built by a new dedicated team. After launch, features will continue to be added and developed alongside the existing TASS roadmap.

To ensure we get the feedback we need to create something great, a Special Interest Group (known as a SIG) has been formed consisting of 9 TASS schools. SIG members will be helping to shape the look, feel and functionality of the app, from initial design to prototypes and the final product launch.

To learn more about TASS Orbit or to register your interest for future Special Interest Groups, check out the resources below.
