Hello, 2020! Before we get too caught up on resolutions and goals for the new year, let’s take a minute to recap the past year. For us, 2019 was definitely a memorable year. We brought on 50 new team members, introduced new business strategies that will advance our company and our customers’, held a user conference that was one to remember, and had Deacom artisans stepping up to share their expertise on some hot topics.
Below are some of our blog’s most popular articles of 2019.

Since the announcement, we have officially put down roots in Frankfurt, Germany and have started the search to build our international team.
