Workamajig ran 4 two-day Bootcamps in April, May, Sep, Oct; two on Project Management and two on Finance & Accounting.

At every Bootcamp, we had a rooftop dinner and drinks (yup, Workamajig knows to do things with class).

Hats off to globalVcard for sponsoring this in April and to avidXchange for sponsoring it in September and October.

What went on at these Bootcamps?

  • Lots of valuable networking
  • In-depth learning sessions, workshops, & Q&A
  • One-on-one time with our awesome support team.

When asked if they would recommend Workamajig users to attend a Bootcamp, an attendee responded: “Absolutely! Having time to pull aside one of the Workamajig team to help you individually was awesome after you'd just learned some new pieces.”

Now, we’d like to know what YOU’d like to see in 2024’s Bootcamps. To help us improve this year, please fill out this quick survey.

Looking forward to seeing you at the upcoming Bootcamps!

We had a great time at the Magnet conference in April.  We loved meeting up with the agency leaders at the summit in Tokyo.  We loved the opportunity to meet up with savvy agency leaders and gained a huge amount of insight.

Adding a two-factor authentication option in 2023 to Workamajig helped give small and mid-size agencies improved security without needing to purchase and set up additional software. 👏🏼

For December, we have good news for those of you with more robust billing needs:

We have added the ability to set the client billing manager as the initial approver in your Billing Worksheet workflow.

Check out the details of electronic billing worksheets here.

 

And now... looking forward to 2024!

In 2024, we're looking to refresh the user interface with options, including dark mode support and ways to streamline steps and workflows in Workamajig.
