Learning Center Updates
Earlier this year we published a new course for Flexera One in the Learning Center entitled Cloud Cost Optimization Administration Self-Paced Class.
This only adds to the already rich library of training content we have available within the Learning Center. Check it out in the Learning Center.
Flexera Community updates
In case you missed it, we underwent a major redesign earlier this year. This redesign focused on improving the community's design and ease of use. We aimed to make it easier for you to navigate across our community, documentation, and learning center to get the information you need faster.
We're always looking for ways to support you better in the community and have some exciting things planned. Stay tuned.
See you soon
Thanks for checking out the first edition of Flexera Community Highlights. We'll be back in December with more insights from the Flexera Community. Cheers!
