Webinars
The BlackLine webinar program was developed as a way to share valuable information with clients and prospects in a simple, easily accessible venue and format. Topics often focus on thought leadership items of interest to BlackLine users, such as those related to SaaS in general or financial data security issues, more specifically. BlackLine webinars almost always feature a client and/or strategic partner to ensure a candid, third-party opinion is provided. When a client is involved, they typically present a case study on the benefits and ROl they’ve seen since using the application and offer tips on how to get the most value out of BlackLine.
