Black Lives Matter. These words must resonate. They must be repeated loud enough often enough, and forcefully enough for the sentiment to become second nature to all. While Karl Groves’s personal feelings on racism have been made clear and, as the Founder & President of Tenon, it can be assumed that his feelings are also Tenon’s feelings, we decided that the best approach at this time is to make our feelings on the current political climate clear regarding where we stand on civil rights in general and race relations specifically.

Tenon Spring 2020: Report Sharing
One of the coolest things about Tenon’s “API First” approach is the ability to use and interact with the product within other systems. For instance, users can access 37 different types of reports from our Reports API to integrate our data into other systems.
Introducing Mortise
The mortise and tenon joint has been used for thousands of years by woodworkers around the world to join pieces of wood. In its basic form it is both simple and strong. Although there are many joint variations, the basic mortise and tenon comprises two components: the mortise hole and the tenon tongue. The tenon, formed on the end of a member generally referred to as a rail, is inserted into a square or rectangular hole cut into the corresponding member. The tenon is cut to fit the mortise hole exactly and usually has shoulders that seat when the joint fully enters the mortise hole. Wikipedia
The mortise & tenon has been used reliably for over 7000 years. Done well, a mortise & tenon can be a beautiful and easy way to get an important job done. It is no mistake that we used this metaphor for our company and our products.

Since that time, Tenon has become a multi-million-dollar company – with $0 investment dollars – based solely on the excellent team we’ve assembled.
