The world of work looks vastly different than it did one year ago. Where we work and how we work have been decoupled and many of these changes are here to stay. Creating a great employee experience has become a key competitive differentiator and extends beyond HR into legal, workplace services, and more.
This week marks one year since ServiceNow sent employees home to shelter in place. During that year, the world changed and the demands and expectations of our customers forever changed with it. I’m proud that ServiceNow was there to help our customers survive and thrive.
The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated digital transformation, forcing companies to adjust how and where they work. With today’s introduction of the Now Platform Quebec release, ServiceNow is delivering new innovations to help businesses power through the pandemic and thrive in the new era of distributed work.
You might’ve noticed that things are looking a bit different in your account lately. We’ve been gradually rolling out updates to your dashboards and menus over the last months, and we will continue to improve the coming period. With these updates, we are upgrading the way you interact with Uptrends, so you can find stuff faster and visualize your data more easily.
Users now gain the flexibility to express their current status in any way they prefer. Set a custom status to add a descriptive status message and emoji that’s visible to everyone throughout the app. Custom user statuses are available in Mattermost Cloud today and in Mattermost Self-Managed v5.33 (available March 16), with mobile support coming soon.
We are excited to announce the availability of the new MobileIron UEM Cloud R76 and UEM Core 11.1, our on-premises offering. As with past releases of MobileIron UEM, our product team continues to focus their efforts on use cases that help our customers to enhance security, improve the admin/user experience and support new use cases driven by OS updates.
While the world is getting more optimistic with the wave of vaccine options, we’re looking forward to introducing you to our latest news. We’re happy to say we managed to fulfill some of our last year’s promises and are still working on our plans and improving UptimeRobot. We introduced a completely redesigned mobile app and new status pages, with many new features. We entered the new year enthusiastically and kept on being busy. Let’s take a look at what’s new!
With version 3.4, StackStorm code itself will only run on Python 3. For the v3.4 release, we have chosen to run on Python 3.6 across all of our supported platforms. For users still on Ubuntu 16.04, you will need to source your own Python 3.6 packages, but we have been using the Python 3.6 Ubuntu PPA without many issues. Looking forward to StackStorm 3.5, we will be removing the ability to install Python 2 packs.
