In the SaaS industry, it’s always been our job to provide flexibility and accessibility through our products. Remote work isn’t new.

As an Aussie-expat based in San Francisco, I briefly took a passing interest in baseball. One of the many, many statistics leagues track is called a batting average – the ratio of times a batter actually hits the ball into play. The best batting averages top out in the mid 30% range.
