We’re so excited to announce our latest platform feature, CommsFlow™!

This is a system where new releases are broken down and flagged based on the features each part of the release implements. Then, an increasing subset of users are given access to an increasing number of features.

A mindset of putting reliability first is a business imperative that all teams should share.
