It’s been a busy year for us here at Practifi. Amidst the global pandemic and helping our clients adjust to remote working conditions, we’ve been hard at work to bring our users a new product appearance and improved overall experience to help firms run and scale their businesses from anywhere.

So without further ado, we’re happy to share with you our latest release overview, Practifi Gamay.

Light-bodied and full of floral aromas, Gamay wines are the epitome of a 360 degree transformation. Plucked from the vine as extremely acidic purple grapes, the wine is carefully treated and transformed into a fresh, juicy and extremely delightful tasting experience.With hints of raspberry, cherry and black pepper, Gamay wines are extremely versatile and are best paired with charcuterie, white meats, and salmon plates. Similarly, this release is full of enticing flavors and features that are begging to be enjoyed.

If you have any questions or would like to learn more, your Client Success Manager will be happy to help.

Notes let you capture rich, free-form content and relate it to specific records giving you the freedom to store and easily access important record information. Files from native Salesforce apps Egnyte and Dropbox are easily accessible and files from external data sources such as Box, G-Suite or Office 365 can also be linked directly to records within Practifi. By adding notes or files to records they will be automatically linked to that record’s related household, organization or individual as well, bringing a wide network of related information and content into one place.
