Microsoft takes over Ally.io to enhance employee experience

order to help improve employee experience by aligning their work with the company's strategic mission and core priorities, Microsoft has taken over productivity platform Ally.io.

An OKR (objectives and key results) company, Ally.io will associate with Microsoft Viva family as part of its employee experience platform (EXP) designed to help companies embrace the new digital work life, Microsoft said.

The financial details of the deal were not disclosed.

Launched in the year 2018, Ally.io has been adopted by over 1,000 high-tech, manufacturing, financial services and healthcare businesses across more than 80 countries.

"Ally.io will power a new Microsoft Viva module. Viva is an employee experience platform that brings together communications, knowledge, learning, resources and insights from anywhere you work," said the tech giant.

Powered by Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams, Viva helps organisations foster a culture of human connection, growth, well-being and success.

"Over the next year, we'll be investing to bring Ally.io into the Microsoft cloud, evolve the existing integrations with Microsoft Teams, and weave Ally.io into Viva, Office, Power BI and the broader set of Microsoft 365 apps and services," the company said.

"Until then, current customers can continue to expect the same great support and service, and new customers can continue to purchase the existing service through ally.io," it added.
