Wainhouse Research Positions Skillsoft’s Percipio as a Leader in the 2019 Learning Experience Platforms Market Overview
Percipio named a leading solution in the burgeoning LXP market for its strong growth and continued innovation
BOSTON – November 21, 2019–Skillsoft, a global leader in corporate learning with expertise in leadership development & business skills, technology & development, compliance and talent development, today announced that Wainhouse Research positioned Percipio as a leader in its 2019 Learning Experience Platforms Market Overview. According to Wainhouse, the LXP market leaders have “shown strongest growth in terms of revenue and learners under license, and have a compelling, complete product.”
As noted in the Market Overview, with a robust global economy and North American unemployment rates at 50-year lows, organizations have recognized that developing critical skills for existing talent is a far better investment than recruiting new talent for key skills. As a result, organizations increasingly need software solutions to support learning initiatives that keep workers engaged and enable them to learn new skills and processes quickly. Learning experience platforms are designed to create more agile learning experiences by delivering microlearning, content curation and personalized learning paths.
For the 2019 Learning Experience Platforms Market Overview, Wainhouse researchers analyzed dozens of corporate learning vendors to highlight the leading cloud-based offerings that deliver a personalized learner experience stretching beyond the traditional Learning Management System.
The market overview notes that Percipio, which recently celebrated its second birthday, is “growing up fast” and seeing increased adoption after Wainhouse spoke with several Skillsoft customers. Wainhouse describes Skillsoft’s multimodality strategy as compelling and notes that mobile users give the Percipio app higher marks than most other LXPs.
The market overview highlights several enhancements to the open platform, including the ability to provide a single, central access point for custom, off-the-shelf and linked public content as well as improved functionality for the manager role that enables team-based learning. Wainhouse also calls out Percipio’s ability to personalize the learner experience with AI-driven recommendations that reflect each learner’s unique interests and behavior on the site.
“To carve out a competitive advantage, organizations need to redeploy and upskill their workforce to gain competency in cutting-edge, in-demand skills,” said Charles M. DeNault, senior analyst, Wainhouse Research. “The emergence of agile learning experience platforms, like Percipio, provide organizations with the customization and agility so critically needed in a rapidly changing business environment.”
“Continued innovation and advances across the Percipio platform are in direct alignment with organizations’ need to provide an embedded, engaging and highly personalized learning experience to employees,” said Apratim Purakayastha, chief technology officer, Skillsoft. “Being positioned as a leader in the Wainhouse Research 2019 Learning Experience Platforms Market Overview validates the value Percipio is delivering as organizations seek to build a comprehensive learning ecosystem.”
