Passageways had a great 2008!

We added 40 new clients, won three industry awards including being named on the Inc. 500 list. We also moved into a much bigger and better equipped office space which was necessary as we added six members to our team. In addition, we reached an important milestone in surpassing the 150 customers mark.

Passageways employees’ passion was also apparent in our inaugural charitable fund-raising campaign which made the holiday season a bit more meaningful for the Passageways family as we raised nearly $15,000 for worthy causes.

As we begin 2009, we look forward to achieving even greater success but we wanted to take a moment to reflect and thank all our customers and partners for their contributions and support!

 


Thanks to all for helping us in our philanthropic efforts!

We look forward to "giving back" to the community in 2009!

Tip for Using the new Calendar Module (v.3.4.0.2)

When creating a calendar event, you now have the option to add an Event Manager. It's best to add the workgroup manager as an event manager so they may edit the event in your absence.

For existing events that have been converted without an Event Manager, a SQL script can be run to give the workgroup manager editing capabilities. Look for a Knowledgebase article to be published soon that will include details and the SQL script. Until then, please contact Passageways Support for assistance.

Please don't hesitate to contact your Account Executive for any reason!
