What's coming up?

How can I get this update?
If you are a fully managed customer of ours then expect to hear from your Technical Account Manager (TAM) in the very near future if you have not already. The 11.08.200 is being tested in house and your TAM will work with you to schedule the rollout so you can begin your own UAT.
For anyone not fully managed, reach out to us and we will work with you to define an update strategy, test the new firmware and get your devices updated on a schedule that suits you.
