Celebrations are in order! Our recent client VoloMetrix, a leading people analytics technology company, announced earlier this year that it has been acquired by Microsoft to bring deeper insights into worker productivity. VoloMetrix’s technology provides unprecedented visibility into how people spend their time, offering enterprises a data-driven way to quantify employee efficiency and engagement.
VoloMetrix’s technology will power Microsoft’s new Delve Organizational Analytics platform, which will allow companies to cull Office 365 data to unearth workforce trends. By measuring productivity, the tool will also help companies better understand engagement and work/life balance issues facing their employees.
Rajesh Jha, corporate vice president of Outlook and Office 365, put it best when he shared in a blog post today: “Giving people access to real data and objective, personalized feedback can lead to a virtuous cycle of improvement for both individuals and their company.” Click here for Jha’s complete blog post announcing the acquisition.

Through a strategic blend of rapid-response pitching, hard news and byline placements, VoloMetrix garnered significant coverage in business and tech press. Here are several coverage highlights we’re proud to share:
VoloMetrix is truly a revolutionary and innovative company, and we wish them a huge congrats on their acquisition! We can’t wait to see VoloMetrix and Microsoft improve how enterprises around the globe operate and function.
