You have an amazing team who worked very hard to make this a success, thank you so much for the opportunity to guide you on this journey!   Welcome to the Plex family, Vulcan!

 Unfortunately we are still in a pandemic with restricted travel, and some of our customers are still unable to have a full workforce onsite.  Everyone is under stress these days and we want you to know we are still here for you, trying to find ways to share our knowledge to help you make Plex even more powerful for your company. To help, we’re providing some free educational webinars on both basic and advanced Plex subjects in both UX and classic every other week.   All of our videos are being published on our YouTube channel.  Take a moment to view the content and see if some of these videos and if you like what you see, give us a Thumbs Up!   And if you want to join our sessions live, participate in Q&A, or have a suggestion for a new webinar, please email This email address is being protected from spambots.
