Visier, the globally recognized leader in people analytics and on-demand answers for people-powered business, today announced highlights from the first quarter of its fiscal year, which ended April 30, 2022. Q1 featured continued momentum in new customer acquisition, company growth, new executive appointments, and the first acquisition in the company’s history. 

“This has been a very active and exciting first quarter for Visier,” said Ryan Wong, co-founder and CEO of Visier. “We started this year incredibly strong, with great momentum on pretty much every front, and an acquisition that I believe will have a game-changing impact in our market.” 

Specific highlights from Visier’s Q1 include:

Market Momentum

• In Q1, Visier welcomed new enterprise customers, including a celebrated teaching hospital, a global spirits producer, several large SaaS providers, an online learning and teaching marketplace, and a credit union, to name just a few.

• Closed at the end of Q1 and announced on the first day of Visier’s Outsmart event last week, the acquisition of Yva.ai takes Visier another step towards the People Cloud, bringing the world’s leading people analytics together with collaboration analytics to deliver the most complete view of the human truth inside an organization. Yva.ai is a leading collaboration analytics vendor that shines light on employee well-being, satisfaction and productivity using AI and an innovative combination of deep collaboration analytics and peer polling for a rich understanding of employees, teams, and their work environments.
