2020 in Review: Top 10 Simpplr Blogs of the Year

We have hit the end of 2020 and what a whirlwind this whole year has been. A year full of uncertainty seems to have gone by incredibly slow yet also astonishingly fast. When Simpplr had to shift gears to transition to a remote work lifestyle (as did the rest of the world), we didn’t expect it to stretch out for the whole year. 2020 certainly kept us busy so we would like to use this time to recognize the achievements, retrospect on lessons learned, and celebrate a crazy year that will certainly go down in history.

As 2021 approaches (with hopefully good news), we wanted to share the top 10 blogs of 2020:
