Hi there,

As a follow-up to our email last month, we are happy to share that we anticipate deploying the first release of the AWARDS Redesign to all customers the week of September 10th! As a reminder, the first release of the AWARDS Redesign includes an updated login page, a new Home landing page that features FootholdConnect announcements, and a new fixed global sidebar navigation menu that will replace the current AWARDS home page. Be sure to check out the AWARDS Redesign Updates page in the Resource Center to see details of these changes and more!

We know it is imperative to you and your teams that you have ample time to familiarize yourself with the new functionality ahead of deployment. To assist you in this effort, we will begin sharing training resources the week of August 13th. These training resources will include updates, tutorial videos, and screenshots added to the AWARDS Redesign Updates page in the Resource Center, and the Foothold Product Team will be hosting two webinars (August 15th & September 6th) to introduce you to the changes and talk through any questions you may have. You can register for a webinar below. You only need to register for one event - as the content and format of the webinars will be the same. The webinars will also be recorded and shared via email to all attendees and posted to the AWARDS Redesign Updates page in the Resource Center.

Tuesday, August 15th @ 2PM ET

Wednesday, September 6th @ 2PM ET

Finally, we know some of you are anxious to have access to a sandbox site for training purposes. During the first webinar we will share details regarding access to a generic sandbox site that you and your teams will be able to access beginning that week. At that time, an email will be sent with all the information you will need to get started.

We look forward to kicking off this new and exciting phase of AWARDS with all of you!
