Customer Service Philosophy:

Unequivocally Committed
Effective Communication
Authentic Relationships
High-Quality Innovation
Continuous Learning

Our customer service philosophy serves as the foundation to guide our decisions and interactions with partners and the communities/individuals they serve, helping us to realize our vision and accomplish our mission at VNL. 

From design and implementation to support and capacity training, we offer our partners much more than software. We have decades of experience serving communities with a dedicated team who have a broad range of expertise in research and project design, data science and analysis, capacity training and technical assistance and technology development with the user as our focus. We have worked with partners on many topics, including social connectedness, health and wellbeing, maternal and child health, suicide prevention, education, and many others.

Commitment, communication, authenticity, quality, and continuous learning are at the forefront of everything we do.
