With 2018 reaching an end, it is time to look back, celebrate the success and growth of BMC Communities which wouldn't be possible without your continuous feedback and support. We also have a fun game for you to unlock some digital gifts.
Let's celebrate key achievements in 2018
More and more people utilize our knowledge articles to find answers to product related queries, many product communities have enabled commenting on their knowledge articles, helping them improve. To ease your access we have made some changes at our authentication system, where you don't have to login again to Communities if you are coming from docs or support. In June, we conducted a communities meetup for India chapter and it was a great experience to connect with our customers, partners and fellow BMCers offline. Many of the attendees could try out the mobile experience live, where we fixed the major concerns around replying to discussions through a mobile device!
Yes we had our fair share of setbacks too! We fought together against the spam attacks and because of your help, Communities is now a much safer place. We thank you for your patience and support throughout all the hardships we faced, as a community.
Wishing you a season of joy and continued personal and professional success in 2019.
