Visual Builder Beta Is Out!
We are happy to announce that the much-awaited Visual Builder is released as Beta. Join us and dive into the brand-new intranet building experience!

P.S. If you’re currently on Auto Upgrade, you will need to disable it first.
The Faces of ShortPoint
Meet Anton, Our Senior QA Engineer
Today we’d like to tell you about Anton, our Senior QA Engineer. Anton has been with ShortPoint since the beginning of 2020. He is a very smart, independent, and confident specialist, the first one to ask difficult questions, suggest improvements and pick on the UI/UX part. You can be sure that our releases would be properly checked and verified before going public. Anton is very cheerful, positive and just a great guy. He is from Kyiv, Ukraine, where he lives with his beautiful wife Sasha and adorable daughter Vika.
It’s hard to imagine, but Anton used to play video games, which was a real time-killer for him. Now, he spends his free time on self-education, being with his family, practicing some yoga and meditation, and reading a lot. Speaking of reading, he is a real fan of stories by Stephen King. If Anton could go back in time, he would choose 2019, as it was so far the best year in his life.
