Soak up the sunshine!

Summer always seems to fly by. The long days and warm temperatures bring so much energy to our days, so much life to our spirits, and the possibilities feel limitless. All the vitamin D from the sun doesn’t hurt either.

In the excitement of all that energy and boundless potential, back to school and autumn tend to sneak up. I’ve definitely been feeling that with the sun suddenly setting before 8 PM. Now’s the time to savor the last moments of summer and soak up every last ray of sunshine the days have to offer!

We’re savoring those last moments of summer at J2, too, but with more of a healthcare focus—as you might expect! The summer began with the BANG of InterSystems Global Summit, and things have been action-packed ever since. We’re delighted to share some big news below and are planning even more in the months ahead.


Always in your corner,
