A lazy summer? Hardly!
Dear U2 Community,
Shouldn’t these be the lazy days of summer? Not for the Rocket U2 team in Denver! Everyone is working tirelessly on beta programs in progress for UniVerse v11.1, U2 DataVu v1.1, and U2 Web DE v5.0. The SB/XA team is working on v6.0.4, and planning is underway for UniData.NEXT. Added to that is the need to clean out desks and pack up in preparation for the move to our new office space. Customers shouldn’t see any disruption in service, as the U2BC system and our Web site are hosted at other Rocket sites, and we can all work remotely when required.
Employees will vacate the current space on August 24, and we will all be in our new location on August 30. So if you’re headed to Denver and want to visit, look for us at 4600 S. Ulster Street, Suite 1100 (our phone numbers and email addresses will remain the same.) Below is a picture of the Metropoint building, which is 2 ½ blocks from our current location in the Denver Tech Center.
By the way, I hope the rest of you are enjoying some summer fun.
Sincerely,
- Susie Siegesmund
Vice President and General Manager, Rocket U2
