With the addition of this site, current and future clients and users are able to obtain information about the beacon™ web portal and all of its capabilities, as well as keep informed of up-to-date news and events related to beacon™.

“The new site was specifically designed with our current and future clients and users in mind,” said Tyler Poling, Schneider’s beacon™ Product Manager. “Visitors can now view product tutorials, watch videos of what current customers are saying and gain in-depth information about what beacon can offer them and their communities.”

The new website offers a beacon™ user forum that serves as a place for clients, users and interested parties to express their thoughts and ideas about the product and its future. Interested parties will also be able to subscribe to RSS  feeds that will download to and can be viewed in their inbox or favorite reader.

With the introduction of the beacon™ forum, members are encouraged to get further involved with the product and express their thoughts and ideas.

“We look forward to the new feedback so we can continue to provide a product that works to serve the beacon community more fully” said Poling. “Schneider is excited to work with the beacon community in this innovative way and we hope that current and future clients and users will find these new online tools useful in developing their beacon™ knowledge and abilities.”
