Twas the week of the Kick-Off, and through snowy streets,
James and I wandered with cold-nipped cheeks.
From New Zealand we’d flown, to the Windy City’s storm,
Where snowflakes danced in a swirling white swarm.
The skyline was blanketed, the air crisp and bright,
Chicago in winter—a magical sight!
We marvelled at snowfall, so heavy, so grand,
For two Kiwis abroad in this frosted land.
Inside the warm halls, the excitement was clear,
Agiloft’s vision for the upcoming year.
They spoke of their roadmap, innovations ahead,
Of contracts transformed and old limits shed.
We met friendly faces we’d known by email,
Now handshakes and laughter replaced the detail.
Partners were honored as vital and true,
And SaaSam stood proud—our global debut!
Fourteen years strong, with integrations galore,
ERP, CRM, and Communication tools we bore.
We shared our successes, our reach far and wide,
With Agiloft’s team standing close by our side.
Then came the big night, the Pacesetter cheer,
Awards were announced—it was SaaSam’s year!
“Partner of the Year!”—the accolade rang,
Our hearts were alight as the praises sang.
So here’s to the future, to trust and to might,
To SaaSam and Agiloft—our goals shining bright.
As snowflakes still whispered outside in the cold,
We dreamed of new stories yet waiting to unfold.
