Communication & Announcements
Where we communicate: All announcements, policy changes, and upcoming releases are communicated to our partners via a number of media:
News.GoLightReach.com - Central newsfeed for all LightReach news
In Portal - Various in-portal announcements, posts, and messages
Via Email - We send a monthly email to all active users on our platform
When we communicate: Additionally, we communicate news to partners in 3 key phases. When in doubt, partners can always contact us to clarify news or policy changes.
Advanced Preview - An early heads up communication
Go Live - We typically make releases on Mondays
ICYMI - Recaps of recent releases
Principles and Timing: Depending on the scope and impact of the news, LightReach will take appropriate steps to ensure that reasonable notice and information are provided ahead of releases. In general, we categorize news as either:
'Housekeeping': Generally low impact or minor items. We'll post these at news.golightreach.com and update any relevant information at hep.palmetto.finance. We'll provide reasonable advanced notice as necessary.
'Make Sure You Know This': Generally moderate news/changes. We'll take additional steps to ensure these are messaged prominently in the portal, and provide reasonable advance notice (typically 7+ days) whenever possible.
'Major Release': Generally large, impactful news/changes. We'll put announcements in just about every place we can-- so many places that you might feel like we're aggressively shoving it in your face (that's the goal!). Major releases are communicated well in advance, with high level previews starting weeks or even months in advance.
It's important to bear in mind that some news or changes, such as government policy changes or major industry events, may not always be foreseeable. LightReach will commit to communicating as actively as possible in all instances--while partners should be cognizant that some things may evolve quickly.
