The community has continued to grow this year, due to your steadfast contributions and company. This year we had:

We added 5229 new members, slightly more than the 4800 that joined last year, bringing us to just over 15k members. Our new members are a mix of new customers and partners, starting out with IFS, and current employees and partners who are just discovering the community. Please continue to tell your coworkers about the community, as we know we haven’t reached everyone who uses IFS in their day-to-day work!

All these metrics represent individuals; people who have contributed - asking, reading, responding, and collaborating. We’d like to recognize a few of these people, as our: 

Best All Around: When you look at the points in the community - which you earn by posting replies, receiving likes, and having people mark your replies as best answer, our top 3 are @Phil Seifert , @Mathias Dahl , and @ShawnBerk . Phil has the most likes received and also a high number of best answer. Mathias has the most replies, with lots of answers and likes. And Shawn replies to WAY more topics than he posts, racking up likes and answers as well. Thank you for your dedication this year!
