FMNET Message 4 JAN 2019

FMNet Members:

Today’s world moves at the speed of thought and the complexities of our individualized organizations or environment require an innovative collaborative operating platform.  MilSuite provides each user with a secured collaborative platform to meet this challenge; however, to leverage this phenomenal tool each user must log in.

Why is this of concern?  Recently discovered many of our subscribers have not logged into milSuite in over a year, which hinders the dissemination of our shared knowledge. Please, follow the associated link to update your profile and ensure your continued delivery of this weekly message, thank you.
