Join us on Slack
Slack is a messaging app for organisations. Our new Vernon CMS Slack workspace provides channels for our users to connect with the Vernon Systems team and with each other. It is useful for asking questions, especially when you don’t know who to ask. Slack allows your questions to be visible to many experts at once and can lead to several solution options.
