Partners & Friends,
As we boldly enter into yet another pandemic year, we’re astonished at the resilience and momentum that each of you bring to your craft. You’ve pushed us as a company to work harder than ever before. You’ve tested Standard Data to its limits, so we expanded them. You’ve made our lives and the lives of so many people around the world better through the power of data.
Together, we’ve learned. Together, we’ve evolved. Together, we’ve done so much more with data than we ever thought possible, yet this is only the beginning.
As for Standard Co, 2022 will be the year of “Data Experience”, a concept that applies the same level of care, attention-to-detail, and optimization afforded to Customer Experience and User Experience, but make it “data”. And together, we’ll make Data Experience a household name.
As always, we appreciate your support, your questions, your requests, your suggestions, and your partnership. We are proud of the work we’ve done with you, (and dearly hope you are as well), and we are excited for what’s to come.
Wishing you and yours the best this holiday season.
Happy New Year,
TJ Muehleman
Founder & CEO, Standard Co
