2020: A Year in Review
By Bruce Nelson, President
While 2020 has been a challenge, I would like to take a moment to reflect on the positives that happened this year. I am truly honored to have the opportunity to work with this team. Their efforts this past year have supported the critical services provided by frontline healthcare workers, supported your communities and enabled us to sustain through these challenging times.
Initiatives
Vertilocity focus for 2020 was about enabling our team and our customers adjust to the new normal. We have had to pivot and adjust our business, so we could help our customers pivot and adjust their businesses. It is important to us that we recognized the associated security risks brought about by COVID 19 and mitigate those to ensure that our team and clients remain healthy and secure.

Webinars
From video conferences to continuing work from home policies – we are all changed the way we do business.

To meet these challenges, we created a series of half hour webinars for our customers to provide best practices on staying safe and healthy.
