From all of us at Pyramid—Happy New Year! We hope you're as excited as we are to grab 2023 by the horns and see what we can accomplish, together.
Speaking of which, have you seen Deepa Sankar's recent article on the Pyramid blog? It's called Power Your Digital Business with Decision Intelligence in 2023 and it's a great read if you want to preview some of the topics you're likely to hear more about in the coming months. Deepa is our VP of Product Marketing, meaning she has the pulse of the analytics world—so don't miss it!
As we look ahead, there is so much to be excited about. Topping our list is one of our favorite events of the year, the Gartner Data & Analytics Summit (US). We'll be there, and hope you will, too. Watch for details on our website (including a discount code for registration!).
And now, read on for all the Pyramid info you don't want to miss!

So, what did we change? Many of you asked for more how-to information and best practices, so we're building more of that information into the platform. This will enable you and your colleagues to get even more value out of the product.
The Community now has four sections.

Best Practices: offers a collection of selected materials from Learning Live, all previous Tips & Tricks documents, recorded Innovator sessions, and a Topic Suggestion Box for Learning Live. (There is more to come later this year.)
Product: Product announcements, the Ideas section, and our Knowledge Bases for Pyramid
Resources: a collection of “How to's” for the Community and our new Community Event Calendar
We will be adding content on an ongoing basis and can’t wait for your interaction and questions.
There are lots of exciting new releases planned for the Learning Hub! A new-and-improved module focusing on Administration will be available in early Q1 and will provide users with an interactive assessment to explore the valuable Help resources needed for administrative configuration options.
