Mid–Year Data Collection
End user data collection is going strong. We are reaching out to the Dresner end user community for their input and encourage you to share your unique link to the end user survey with your customer base. We’ve found that direct outreach obtains the best results. It’s also helpful to follow up with customers and remind them that they
