Whatfix Closes Nittio Learn Acquisition During Record Quarter in Q2 FY21

A digital adoption solutions company - Whatfix acquired Nittio Learn, a learning management system, amid a groundbreaking quarter.

The acquisition will advance the company’s application training capability by making learning more personalized, adaptive and rich. Nittio Learn's toolset including additional content options, assessment capabilities, and training course allocation is a natural fit with Whatfix, making it a comprehensive digital adoption platform for organizations. New learners will now experience a drastically reduced ramp-up time for learning, which is the core value Whatfix provides.

“The business shift to remote work over the last year has solidified the importance of employee adoption of the enterprise technology stack, as larger and more permanent segments of workers connect to the workplace through software exclusively,” said Khadim Batti, CEO and cofounder of Whatfix. “We’re delighted to get Nittio Learn onboard on our journey to provide our customers with all the necessary tools to execute such a massive digital transformation effort. We are continuously reimagining Digital Adoption alongside our customers as we grow and expand into new markets over the next year and beyond.”

This acquisition comes on the heels of Whatfix’s most successful quarter to date, achieving quarterly growth of 100% on a YoY basis for the past 2 consecutive quarters. Other milestones include closing new partnerships and enterprise customers, securing series D funding, earning recognition from top analyst firms, and winning several industry awards.
